Review the Cookie Booth Sales Tips for a successful Cookie Season!

Use the Booth Sale Recorder  through the eBudde app on your phone to track booth sales, girl participation and more, right at your fingertips!

Use the Build Your Best Cookie Booth Flyer to increase visibility and sales!

Order wisely! Order only the number of cases you know your troop can sell. Additional cases can be picked up at designated cupboard locations which often have weekend hours. Once your troop picks up cookies, they cannot be returned or exchanged with the council or cupboard.  

An adult registered with your troop should be on call during the booth sale to pick up cookies and restock the booth as needed.  

Give samples. If some varieties are not selling, open a package (which your troop must purchase), break them into bite-size pieces, and let customers take a sample. Samples will spark interest among customers and increase your sales.

Bundle up popular cookies. To encourage multi-box purchases, suggest that girls bundle boxes and attach recipes using the cookies or offer handmade cards such as “Happy Birthday” or “Thank You.”

Encourage Troop to Troops and Gift of Caring purchases. Make signs promoting your Gift of Caring recipient and display the Troop to Troops poster provided.

Dress in uniform! It is amazing what effect this has on your supporting public.

Decorate! Be creative and colorful! Make an attractive table display.  Use balloons, streamers, posters and the cookies themselves! Remember to promote your troop goals and community projects.

Set up your table with plenty of cookies.  A full table attracts more customers than a sparsely filled one.

Advertise your booth sale by creating signs! Put signs on a vehicle and park in a visible spot! Customers will see the signs and know where to get cookies. People might even make a special trip to get them because they saw your sign. Bring along your troop goal poster and pictures of activities in which you have participated.  Use the Savvy Signage flyer to learn more about creating signage to attract more customers!

Practice, practice, practice! This is the time for girls to tell their story.  Have girls develop a script of what to say and have them practice with each other and parents telling what the troop’s goal is and what activities they plan to spend their earnings on.

Location! Location! Location! After girls set a Troop Booth Sale Goal, begin looking for sites. Get out early to locate the best sites for your sales.

Possible locations outside of council organized locations include: sporting events, car washes, concerts and plays, quick oil change shops, churches, universities and colleges, drug stores, parks and playgrounds, and hardware stores.
