How to Sell Popcorn and Nuts

Popcorn Show and Sells

Show and sells are opportunities the Pack arranges to sell popcorn in person outside local businesses. No delivery is required – Scouts sell popcorn right off the table for their customers to take home and enjoy immediately.

Most show and sells are weekends.  Shifts are typically 2 hours each and intended to be staffed by at least 1 Scout and 1 parent.  If you are new to popcorn sales we encourage you to signup with an experienced seller.  All supplies – table, banner, cashbox with change, square credit card reader, and popcorn – are provided for you by the Pack.  If you are on the first shift for the day we ask that you pick up supplies at the Zeh’s.  If you are on the last shift of the day we ask that you pack up and drop everything off at the Zeh’s.

Door to door / friends and family popcorn and nut sales with a paper order sheet (with or without product)

Also known as “take orders.”

These are exactly what they sound like.  Scout and parent go door to door asking neighbors and friends to buy popcorn to support Pack 67.  Or help your Scout call / text all the contacts in your phone.  Or bring the order form to work. (you get the idea 😉 )  You can print out the popcorn and nut order forms found below, or pick them up at the kickoff meeting.  Products ordered this way arrive in November.  It is your family’s responsibility to deliver to your own customers.  

Want the convenience of selling on your own schedule AND no delivery in November?  Arrange to pickup popcorn from the Zeh’s to sell off a wagon now.  You can even borrow a square card reader to take credit card payment.

We can only sell nuts door to door / family and friends sales with a paper order sheet.  It works exactly like it does for popcorn, except that we do not have nut products in stock for you to sell now.  All nut products arrive in November for your delivery to your customers.  You can print out the order forms (there are 3!) found below, or pick them up at the kickoff meeting.

Selling Popcorn Online

Online sales are simple and require no delivery, however the product offerings and price points are different.

To get started, the Pack enters your Scout’s contact information into the popcorn system which automatically generates and emails you a seller ID. Set up an online profile with your seller ID and share it with your social network. Customers enter your seller ID at checkout. Your Scout and the Pack get credit for the sale.

Your seller ID does not change from year to year. 

You may not customize your seller ID.

Returning Scouts – Use your online sales account created last year.  Contact Mary Anne if you need your seller ID.   

New Scouts – The Pack will enter your Scout’s name and email into the Pecatonica River System.  It will generate a seller’s ID and send that to you from pops@prpopcorn.com.  Clink the link in the email and follow the prompts, or check out this tutorial video to register your online profile.

(Side note when you are on My PR Popcorn – we are NOT using the show and sell signup feature on My PR Popcorn. Use this signup genius instead.)
