Online Cookie Marketing

Once January 1st rolls around, if you'd like to be able to place orders via Facebook or email go to this link and sign up:
http://www.abcsmartcookies.com
Select the Girls menu option and then select your daughter's age level. There will be an option on the page for Online cookie marketing. You can sign up there. This will allow you to send out emails and friends can place online cookie orders. (You will still need to collect money/deliver cookies)
You can also post a Facebook app that will allow you to do the same.
Just make sure you include these orders in your cookie totals.
Thanks!

Girl Scout Cookie Time is less than 2 weeks away, so I wanted to go ahead and go over some of the ins and outs of this years cookie sale.
Timeline:


January
1st - Cookie Pre-orders start January 1st.  At this thime (and not before) you can begin taking orders for cookies. I know it says otherwise on your form, but go ahead and begin collecting money for your cookies at this time. 


8th - email me all cookie orders as of this date, this will help me get started on sorting and give me a better idea on if I need to order more cookies. I initially ordered 12 cases per girl (144 boxes) that opted to sell, but we'll probably need more. Keep selling after this date, but I want to make sure I have the cookies to get those initial pre-orders filled.


9th-14th - Initial Cookie Pick up - our initial cookie pick up will be sometime between January 9-14. I don't have a solid pick up date yet (waiting on council), but if all else fails I will have them by our January 14th meeting. :)  At this time you will turn in what money you have and pick up cookies from your pre-order.  I will also send you home with extra cookies so that you can continue selling.


17th - Booth sign up begins, I will send out an email of our spots and it will be 1st come 1st serve. - More on booth sales later.
20th- Pre-Order money due (if you haven't turned in already) also please turn any other on hand cookie money in.


21st-22nd - Cookie Walk About Weekend


February
3rd - Booth Sales Start
11th - on-hand money turn in


March
11th - end of sale
12th - final money turn in


You are allowed to sell cookies all of January and all of February and I will be able to order what you need if the troop doesn't have it on-hand.  If you are selling i must have a signed permission slip from you. If I don't have one, I must have it by cookie pick up, or you will not be able to get your cookies.


We have some special cookie topics I will send through-out the week that cover "Operation Cookie Share", "Cookie Walkabout", Online, etc, so be on the look out.


Also will be posting on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Girl-Scout-Troop-9058


If you haven't received your cookie forms and want to sell, please contact me immediately. I will need some volunteers to help with cookie distribution and money collection. If you are interested me, please let me know! Also, if you have questions, ask away!!!
