Post Sale
The sale is over and you’ve done a great job! Here are a few tips and tricks to wrap everything up successfully.
How big of a vehicle will I need for picking up popcorn on Distribution Day?
The general rule of thumb is as follows
-
Midsize Car 20 cases
-
Luxury size car 40 cases
-
Mini Van 60 cases
-
Large SUVA 70 cases
-
U-Haul over 70 cases
Remember the 5-Way, 3-Way, and 24-pack Microwave Popcorn are much smaller than the other shipping cases. If you are ordering other products there can be 8 per shipping case or 12 per shipping case – these cases are substantially larger and this should be taken into consideration when planning the amount of space required to pick up and deliver your popcorn.
Final Steps to a Great Sale
-
Pickup and distribute product on time.
-
Reward scouts – be sure all prizes have been ordered and High Achiever Prize forms completed and sent to the Council.
-
Pay the Council by payment deadline.
-
That’s a wrap!!
