Fall Popcorn Sale Signup & Timeline
(pdf)
We’ve planned a great sale for this year, with plenty of fun in store
including focus on sales training and unit kickoff support.
Your
Unit will again earn 30% of the gross sale with
Scout’s prizes remain at a value of 6%.
Research shows that price is only the fifth most popular reason for
consumer’s purchasing the product, and over 73% make the decision to buy
before looking at an order form.
Fall Sale

-
An
opportunity to donate
$40 or $25 in assorted product to members of the US
military and their families
- support your scouts and your country's service men and women

Unit Roster
-
If you participate in the fall sale, you must
submit a unit roster of names for all youth selling, how much each youth
sold, and which prize(s) each youth selected. You may wish to use the UNIT
MASTER RECORD AND PRIZE TALLEY SHEET for your convenience. This is a
working EXCEL file that calculates totals for you. However, you may also
send a copy of the website, or typed or handwritten list (Youth First and Last Name, Total $ Amount
Sold, and Prize(s) Chosen) to
gwilkeson@lasallecouncilbsa.org or fax to 574-289-0336. Be sure to call
to verify that your fax was received. If you submit a handwritten list, it
must be CLEARLY WRITTEN so that all youth names can be verified for
registration purposes.
If you have youth use the online ordering, you will not need to use the
Master Record, however we will need a list (which can be typed or
handwritten) that includes each youth’s first and last name for
registration verification.

We are
happy to report that Trail's End has
taken an industry-leading role in completely removing diacetyl from our
microwave popcorn.
If you have customers who you are not near
enough to be able to deliver to personally, send them to:
www.orderpopcorn.com
This website is available during the entire sale. This is an
opportunity for those out of reach of our regular sale (or those who
want additional product after the sale) to order popcorn and have it
shipped directly to them from Trail’s End (shipping charges will
apply). Orders are credited to your unit through individual Scout’s
codes issued through the Trail’s End system that the Scouts share with their
customers. The customer enters that code when ordering on
www.orderpopcorn.com
to ensure your unit and that youth receives
credit. We receive the same sale commission this year, and all orders
will count toward your unit sale totals and toward prize totals for youth.
We will send a check or notify you of deposits into your unit account
when Trail’s End issues the profits to us (the orders you submit for
pickup will not include
www.orderpopcorn.com orders, as they are ordered, paid for, and
delivered through the
www.orderpopcorn.com website).
Youth may now set up their own key
numbers through the website.
Please encourage them to use the built
in e-mail message function by entering out-of-town e-mail addresses
for friends & family, who will be invited to visit
www.orderpopcorn.com. You will have the ability to monitor
(through new reporting protocols Trail’s End is developing to inform units)
individual youth orders (to use for prize $ credit) and total unit $ sold
(to use toward unit bonus).
