- SHOW & SELL
- Scouting Units order popcorn and set up locations where customers purchase the products directly or Scouts go door-to-door taking orders for products and then deliver immediately from their inventory. This method eliminates the follow-up trip.
- Trails’ End has secured over 7,000 hours of Storefronts at traditionally high traffic locations.
- Locations are reserved at the best selling times.
- Storefronts can be reserved on the Storefront Reservations page.
- Best Hours are highlighted.
- Units can still contact small businesses for selling opportunities, be sure to track them in the app!
- ONLINE SALES
- Scouts create their own accounts to sell online on www.trails-end.com and contact customers to make online purchases on their behalf.
- Customers make purchases by using the link the scout shares with them and orders are shipped directly to them.
- Leaders create their own accounts to view their Scouts’ online sales at www.trails-end.com. Once signed into your leader account you can view online sales by Scout.
- TRADITIONAL SALES
- Scouts receive order forms (available for download). Scouts go door-to-door and take orders from Families, Friends and Parent’s Co-workers. The popcorn arrives in November. Scouts then deliver and collect the money. Trail’s End App is also set up for Traditional Sales.
