The popcorn sale is not just about selling popcorn; it’s also about promoting Scouting and the Scouting ideals!
How to Sell Popcorn
We offer four different ways to sell Popcorn as a unit.
Show and sell
This sales technique involved setting up a product display at a business or storefront. This is a direct sales approach with Scouts asking those who pass through the area to support local Scouting by purchasing popcorn.
Show and Deliver
This sales technique is a combination of the Show and Sell and the Take Order methods. This technique can be very effective as the product can be delivered immediately to the customer at their front door. Load up a wagon with your show and sell products and walk to your neighbors.
Take Orders
This approach involves the "Take Order Form" for family members, neighbors, church and other locations for a customer to place an order of popcorn.
Online sales
Sales are made by utilizing e-mail, social media and the website to sell popcorn to those that are not local. A Scout and parent will need to set up an account at www.campmasters.org for this sales method.
