First, call all your customers that usually buy to tell them that you're coming. Then, have your family buy some. Be polite and sweet to everyone and they will buy more. Tell the benefits (reduced fat, etc). Tell them your favorites (they tend to buy these). Also, if your parents work for a large company, have them sell at work. If your mom is a doctor (like mine), have her sell to her patients too. The more people you ask the better.
Hope this helps, long time girl scout (Guineagirl96)
When I did this as a young girl I took my cookies to the PTA meetings and sold my cookies there. I also would go to the college campuses and sell them ( college students are always hungry). Many colleges had buses for students so I would go on the buses and sell. Also ask people where you work at.
One of the most important things we found was to be sure to return to customers each year. They might only buy one or two boxes the first year, but once they know you will return each year, most people will increase their order. Be sure to let them know the kinds of activities your troop does each year so that they know what they are supporting by purchasing the cookies.
Also, if someone says they are on a diet, tell them cookies make a good gift, freeze well, or they can just make a donation to the troop.
There are basically three ways of selling Girl Scout cookies. The local Girl Scout Council determines the method of cookie sales.
Most councils hand out order blanks where the girls contact friends and family members and ask them to order cookies. The order blank is returned to the troop leader or troop cookie person who then tallies up the troop's order and files it Online with the council.
Some councils choose to have the cookies delivered and the girls make direct sales, where they take the cookies to the customer and sell right then rather than take an order.
The third method is booth sales. The council or the local service unit set up various locations and then troops sign up to sell cookies at those locations.
Each Girl Scout council is allowed a number of boxes of Girl Scout cookies that they can use to give away. Some years each troop has received a box of the "new" cookie for the girls to sample.
Also, if you attend a council meeting or event, sometimes the cookie companies will have a booth where they give away cookies.
After the cookie sale is over, sometimes there are damaged boxes where the cookies are still safe to eat or boxes that were ordered as extras in case of a mistake and the council staff might be allowed to either sell or give these away.
Girl Scout Cookies may be frozen by placing the unopened box in the freezer.
Girl Scout cookies are baked by two commercial baking companies, Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers.
The best way to freeze Girl Scout cookies is to put the unopened box in the freezer. Once the box has been opened, the cookies should be removed from the freezer and consumed within a week.
Cookies can be frozen for a long time. They freeze well and dont take long to thaw. You can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 4 months.
