Here are a few field-tested ideas for super sales!
Earn a Girl Scout Award
Girls may earn a variety of cookie sale awards:
For All Girls
Brownie Girl Scouts
Junior Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts 11-17
Try Cookie Share
Cookie Share is a great way to give to the community. You can implement this service project at the team or council level. Your team can ask customers to buy extra boxes to be donated to their favorite cause. The extra column on the order card can be used to take Cookie Share orders. You'll draw attention to citizenship and service goals of Girl Scout program, and earn more proceeds for troop activities.
Blitz a Neighborhood
Find a neighborhood that hasn't been covered, and organize a Cookie Caravan! Enlist the help of family members and friends to decorate several vehicles with signs, streamers and banners. Load up the girls and the cookies and move on out! Get permission ahead of time to hang posters at stores and businesses announcing your caravan's date and time.
Have a Walk-About
A walk-about is group door-to-door sale event. Adults monitor while several girls divide the houses on a block and ring doorbells. Then the whole group moves on to the next block. This usually takes fewer adults than individual door-to-door sales, and is more fun for girls since they are selling with friends.
A Crowded Moment
A great place for a cookie shop is a local fun run, fair or sports event. Take a decorated van or card table and set up in a place where lots of people will pass. Of course, you will need permission from the event organizers and plenty of adult supervision for the girls.
Keep the Girl in Girl Scout Cookies
Give parents and guardians an easy way to involve their daughter in workplace sales. Suggest that girls create a poster or attach a note and their picture to the order card stating their goals, or encourage parents and guardians to arrange for their daughters to have face-to-face contact when delivering the cookies to co-workers.
