How to Sell Popcorn
There are three different ways to sell Popcorn as a unit.
- Show N’ Sell is a direct sale that takes place outside of a local business, where Scouts interact directly with community members and encourage them to buy popcorn.
- Take Order is an order and fulfillment process that takes place in your neighborhood, where Scouts go door-to-door and ask for popcorn orders that are fulfilled at a later date.
- Online Sales are also available and can be used to raise funds for your unit no matter where the customer is located. Check out the video below to learn more
