****Storefront Sales****
Storefront Sales (previously known as Show & Sells) are a great opportunity for your scout to ramp up their popcorn sales. Here's how it works. 1. Sign up for a Storefront Shift in the Trails End app. Storefronts are live now!2. Scouts may sign up for as many storefront slots as they want. All we ask is if you sign up for a slot, you either attend or cancel on the app so that all scouts have the same opportunity to sell. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, please send an email to the Popcorn Kernel and we can cancel for you2. Show up to the location approximately 5 minutes before your shift with a parent or responsible adult.3. Sell popcorn to customers from the inventory provided (you do not need to take your own popcorn!) and log it in the Trail's End app.4. Popcorn sold during the Storefront will be split evenly between all scouts working that Storefront that day.***Wagon Sales***
Scouts may begin taking orders for "Wagon Sales" (previously referred to as Door to Door, this also includes from mom & dad's work, family, friends, etc) now! You can place orders in the Wagon Sales portion of the app, accept credit cards with no additional fee and mark it as "Undelivered". You can also choose to "check out" popcorn to take to sell door to door. All unsold popcorn, except chocolate, is returnable! Chocolate Covered Pretzels will probably not be available until the November delivery, but you can take the order from the customer and explain to them that it will be delivered later. When you are ready to pick up the popcorn, send an email to the Popcorn Kernel with the following information: - Scout Name & Den Number (if known) - Popcorn type & quantity needed (or if you prefer, you can ask for a $200 or $400 starter pack!)****Online Ordering****
Did you know you can sell popcorn ONLINE?!? This is the EASIEST way to sell! There are also additional items sold online (like coffee, beef jerky and other varieties of chocolate!) that are not available to sell door to door. Simply go to www.trails-end.com and set up an account for your scout. Once you've set up your scout's account, you can set up a contact list and send out an email to all your friends & family with a link to your scout's online ordering! New this year is ONLINE DIRECT - you can now take online orders right in the Trail's End App itself and the product ships directly to the customer!***Trail's End App for Selling Popcorn***
