Transcription

1 Troop 692 Fundraising Information Pack 692 Popcorn Sales It is that time of year again.fundraising season! Different format this year for the information packet because I don t believe most of you read the large packet. I m going with highlights this year of the important information. Important Dates Sale Dates: Start of the sale: Friday, September 22 nd after 5:00pm. End of the sale: Sunday, October 29 th Payment for all sales is due by Friday, October 27 th unless you make other arrangements ahead of time. Troop Wreaths: Order will arrive between November 20 and 22. Delivery after November 22 nd to your customers. Popcorn Pickup dates for show and deliver: Every Thursday between 5:00pm and 7:00pm. Please make every effort to come during those times as making special arrangements adds to our already busy schedule. Location: The Matko s, Furman St NE, Forest Lake, MN Questions: Deb (612) TROOP ONLY: Fundraising Goals Sales goal for the Troop is $1000 in combined sales between popcorn and wreaths per scout. Margin: Total Profit for Popcorn is 39% of sales because boy scouts get the extra 4% for not receiving the trails end tier prizes and 35% on the wreaths. Troop profit 20% of the overall sales Scouts 19% for popcorn sales and 15% for wreath sales

2 TROOP ONLY: Wreath Sales Wreath sales are again take order only. There is a new product for sale that we are going to tryout. It is again from Milkman s (same as the little live trees). It is an evergreen centerpiece with a candle in the center. Check the wreath brochure for information. It is also one of the items that can be mailed as gifts. Also, I m allowing sales on everything in the brochure this year instead of having to cross stuff out. That means you can sell the spruce tops and wild rice if your customers want it. We ONLY sell the Balsam products, not the Balsam/Pine mix. Tell your customers the wreath products will be delivered after November 22 nd. Be sure to complete your wreath summary sheet to place your order with me at the end of the sale along with your payment. POPCORN Sale Information (Troop and Pack) PACK: Again, the Pack popcorn sales are optional. But, if you decide to sell, then you need to let me know a contact so that you can receive my communications. I won t be sending out blasts to the entire pack on fundraising. PACK: Any Web II scouts that decide to sell popcorn can choose to sell as a boy scout and receive the additional 4% of profit for your scout account (you can t participate in the tiered Trails End prizes with this option) or you can continue to sell under the cub scout brochure with all of the prizes. You need to tell me up front what you decide. Ways to sell Popcorn: Take orders order and deliver later Show and Deliver pick up the product from me and deliver as you sell (my favorite) Storefront Sales you just show up IN UNIFORM and work a shift. Sales are divided among all hours worked at all storefronts to come up with an hourly rate. Online Sales self explanatory.

5 Troop/Pack Sale Incentives BLITZ Prizes RETURNING Leader Trading Cards (TROOP Only) There will be 12 Leader Trading Cards that will be available. Retro theme this year where your committee members have YOUTH pictures on the cards. The cards can be used while camping or at other Troop events where there are various duties to be performed by the scouts. The cards will enable the winning scout to trade the leader card back to that leader, and in return, the leader will perform whatever task that was assigned the scout. Weekly Blitz We will be using SAC (Scout Account Cash) again this year for the blitz prizes. Instead of receiving Visa gift cards, you will be awarded the equivalent cash value for your scout accounts.

Just popcorn sales for the Pack) The top 2 scouts that have the highest combined sales by Noon on Monday, Morning on September 25 th will have their name put in a drawing once for every $100 of sales.
