Frequently Asked Questions
How it all works
Your girl can sell cookies two ways: in person or on her Digital Cookie site.
Digital Cookie…
…is your girl’s personal online sales site. She can set it up and share it with family/friends and sell cookies through the site.
Pros: No money handling, you can sell to people locally that you’re close enough to deliver cookies to. (If the buyer chooses Girl Delivery, you can accept/reject those purchases.) After February 27, you can also sell to people anywhere in the country and have their order shipped directly to them.
Cons: It can be a little confusing to set up, shipping costs are on the high side.
In-Person Sales…
…refers to any sales that happen offline: walking door to door in your neighborhood, at a parent’s workplace, etc. Follow guidelines for safety!
What’s this Initial Order stuff?
Your girl will sell cookies for 10 days. At the Initial Order Deadline you’ll report to the troop how many cookies she sold IN PERSON (in other words, on paper).
This is the “initial order.” We combine all girls’ orders into one giant order.
While we wait for cookies to arrive, you can keep selling cookies on your Digital Cookie site and in person, too!
When cookies arrive in mid-February, you’ll pick up your initial order from the Cookie Mom, deliver your cookies to the in-person/girl delivery buyers, and collect payment from them.
We’ll start having booths around this time, too.
Okay, so what’s a weekly order?
Every week (starting when cookies come in), you’ll report to the Cookie Mom any additional cookies your girl sold for Girl Delivery.
That’s a “Weekly Order.”
This is different than the Initial Order, when I only needed to know your in-person/paper sales. Now I’ll need to know in-person/paper and Girl-Delivered Digital Cookie sales, too. 🙂
You’ll use the Weekly Order form to report those sales, once a week.
I’ll pack up your cookies, you’ll come get them, and your girl will deliver. The first weekly order is due Friday, Feb 9.
Every time you pick up, you’ll get a receipt from the Cookie Mom. It’s your responsibility to ensure you received what the receipt says you did. Remember, you’re financially responsible to pay the troop for all cookies you receive.
Any money you collect for cookie sales needs to go to the Cookie Mom as soon as possible. You can also give it to Sara D. or Nikki F.
Any money handed over should be in an envelope clearly labeled with your girl’s name, with the amount written on the outside.
This continues until cookie sales end in late March.
Then Lydia and Nikki have a BIG OL’ COLD DRINK and take a nap.
