Your Son: Make sure son knows what products he has to sell and the prices. Make sure son knows where the money he earns is going. (Council portion and his unit portion). Volunteer to take son and a Scout friend out to sell popcorn and encourage them to knock on as many doors as they can. Parents Selling: BEST: Have your son come to work and take orders AND/OR leave
order forms. BEST: If at all possible have your son deliver the popcorn (in
full uniform). Know the products, cost, where the money is going and delivery date. This will also help in training your son for his sales delivery routine (see above). If applicable, ask your boss (or whoever is in charge) about the company giving popcorn as a Christmas present and/or promotional items to favored customers. |
