Troops should bring tables, chairs, cookies and change. GSCI works with some of the local retailers to secure locations for troop leaders and these locations may be reserved through the Cookie Booth Scheduler. Troops are encouraged to set up their own cookie booth locations since most cookie reservations set up by the council go fast. Successful cookie booths are in high traffic areas, display troop goals and incorporate eye-catching marketing. COOKIE DOUGH - Credit earned by selling cookies. Cookie Dough may be used toward day and resident camp, council-sponsored programs and items in the Trefoil Boutique (except gift cards). Cookie Dough expires on September 22, 2018, and will not be accepted as payment after this date. DIGITAL COOKIES - The new online way to sell cookies to customers. Digital Cookie customers can have their cookies shipped directly to their home or donated to Operation Cookie Share. Customers can even request their cookies be delivered by the Girl Scout, all while paying with a credit card. Each family and troop leader must have an address on file to gain access to Digital Cookies. DIRECT SALE FORMAT - Allows girls to have cookies in-hand to sell door-to-door to family, friends, and neighbors. With the direct sale format there is only one transaction, and selling is condensed into one simple step. 2 2

6 THE FIVE SKILLS FOR GIRLS Everything girls do in Girl Scouting is designed to help them grow into leaders of courage, confidence, and character. The five skills girls learn through the Girl Scout Cookie Program are an important ingredient in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and teaches Girl Scouts skills that will help them grow into leaders in their own lives, leaders in business, and leaders in the world. GOAL SETTING Girl Scouts set cookie goals individually and, with a team, create a plan to reach them. They develop cooperation and team building skills along the way. DECISION MAKING Girls help decide how the team will spend their cookie money, furthering critical thinking and problem solving skills that will help in many aspects of life. MONEY MANAGEMENT Girls take cookie orders, handle customers money, and gain valuable and practical life skills around financial literacy. PEOPLE SKILLS Girl Scouts learn how to talk to, listen to, and work with all kinds of people while selling cookies. These experiences help them to develop healthy relationship and conflict resolution skills they can use throughout their lives. BUSINESS ETHICS Girls are honest and responsible at every step of the cookie sale. Their business ethics reinforce the positive values they are developing as Girl Scouts. COOKIE PATCH PROGRAM GSCI offers a great cookie patch program that allows the girls to learn more about the cookie program while working on the five skills of goal setting, money management, people skills, decision making, and business ethics. Visit our website at GetYourGirlPower.org for patch requirements. WHAT IS A DIRECT SALE? WHAT IS A DIRECT SALE? Girl Scouts of Central Illinois will be using a direct-sale format to sell cookies for the cookie program. Girls will have boxes IN HAND to sell door-to-door to family, friends, and neighbors. Girl Scouts exchange cookies and payment in one easy step! No more taking orders, waiting weeks, and then returning for the delivery and money collection. A direct sale program condenses all that work into one simple step. NO RETURN POLICY Little Brownie Bakers does not allow GSCI to return unsold cookies. GSCI does not allow Girl Scout troops to return unsold cookies. The orders your troop places should be based on the demand of your Girl Scouts (with parent/guardian consent). If you accept return cookies from your parents, you are personally accepting responsibility for the cost of the cookies that are being returned. GSCI does not encourage troop leaders/cookie coordinators to accept return cookies from parents. 5 5

7 COOKIE SUCCESS KICK OFF THE COOKIE SEASON Help girls get ready by selecting learning activities that fit their experiences and interests. Create a custom plan with the Built by Me tool ( Kick off your first cookie meeting with a video! Cookies Live Videos are interactive shows that teach girls selling tips, inspire them to reach goals and have loads of fun along the way. First time sellers love Cookie Rookie. Made for young girls, this show teaches cookie names, how to ask customers to buy and other skills. Keep teens interested and have them give back with the Cookie Captain program. Older girls love being mentors. These resources can be accessed at Choose Girls for Cookie Rookie or Teens for Cookie Captain. GOAL SETTING Goal setting is one of the most valuable life skills you can pass on to girls. Research has shown that girls who set goals will increase their sales by approximately 35%. We have the perfect online tool for the girls to set goals AND have fun! When you help girl set high goals for the cookie season, they learn an important skill for life. Encourage girls to set two types of goals: Something they d like to try and something they can do to help others. Visit the Volunteer Blog for goal-setting games and crafts ( COOKIE HOUSE PARTY This season, cookie sales are in the house!

With Digital Order Card, girls can send cookie customers to their website to order and pay for their cookies online. It s a faster, easier way to reach high goals.

Review order cards from previous years and contact customers again. Once cookies have been delivered, call customers, thank them for their orders and ask if they need additional cookies.

WORKPLACE SALES With a parent as a guide, contact business owners to request permission to sell cookies. Girl can make either make a quick sales pitch at a staff meeting or make sales calls around the office, depending on the wishes of the business. You may be able to leave an order card or have an adult oversee a sales card. Just remember it s the girl s responsibility to fill the order. Girls should establish a date and time to pick up the order cards and deliver the cookies BOOTH SALES Booth sales are a great way to increase your team s success.

8 GOAL SETTING Goal setting is one of the most valuable life skills you can pass on to girls. Research has shown that girls who set goals will increase their sales by approximately 35%. We have the perfect online tool for the girls to set goals AND have fun! DIGITAL COOKIE BIG NEWS!

HOW DOES DIGITAL COOKIE WORK? It s a lot like buying your cookies at a traditional cookie booth but with an online twist. The girls initiate a cookie sale, whether online, via or in person at the cookie booth with their mobile app. She can invite customers to visit her personalized cookie website where they can place an order, pay using a credit card, have their order shipped/delivered by a Girl Scout or even donate cookies to Operation Cookie Share.

9 OPERATION COOKIE SHARE Operation Cookie Share has been a huge success. Girl Scouts of Central Illinois has provided over $1,000,000 worth of Girl Scout cookies to the women and men of our armed forces at home and abroad. In fact, our Girl Scouts were so successful that this achievement is entered in the Illinois Congressional Records. HOW OPERATION COOKIE SHARE WORKS Even though we are using a directs-sale format, girls should still take along their order cards. On each girl s order card there is a column listing each variety of cookie plus one additional column labeled Cookie Share. When the girls go out with cookies in hand (and during cookie booths!), please encourage them to not only ask the customer to purchase Girl Scout cookies for themselves, but also to ask the customers to purchase cookies for our military troops. Girls will enter the number of boxes each customer donates on the Cookie Boxes Donated column. Customers do not have a choice of the variety of cookies to be sent to troops. Operation Cookie Share cookies are held in a virtual warehouse, troops do not take possession of these cookies. At the end of the program, all Operation Cookie Share orders are accounted for and then shipped to military soldiers at home and abroad. NEW WITH DIGITAL COOKIES! When Girl Scouts send out s through Digital Cookies, customers will have the opportunity to donate to Operation Cookie Share. SHARE PATCH Girls who sell twelve or more boxes for Operation Cookie Share will earn a Cookie Share patch! Patches will be ordered when the troop cookie coordinator enters the recognition order. HOW ARE THE COOKIES DELIVERED TO MILITARY TROOPS? A special thanks to Operation Santa. Many of the donated cookies will arrive at home and abroad just in time for Christmas through Operation Santa. Also, donated cookies are sent to Great Lakes Naval facility, Illinois Veteran Retirement Homes and medical facilities, local USO s and other veteran groups. COOKIE INVENTORY CONTROL inventory control is having cookies in stock to maximize sales while at the same time not having too much stock so you have cookies left over. It is a balance between customer demand and your orders. The Direct Sale Format provides a unique opportunity for girls to reach their goals. Sales increase when girls have cookies in hand. GSCI wants you to finish the cookie program without remaining cookie inventory, and this can be done by following a few simple techniques. UNDERSTAND CUSTOMER DEMAND Customer demand is highest during the first three weeks of the program. Inventory should reflect cookies. USE BOOTH SALES TO REDUCE INVENTORY - NOT INCREASE IT A great way to reduce inventory. Communicate with parents and remember that a troop will sell between 2-5 cases/hour. COMMUNICATE Good communication=inventory control! Know your troop s cookie inventory on a weekly/daily basis. Keep communication open through a troop Facebook page, s, or text messages. 8 8

10 RECOGNITIONS (INCLUDING COOKIE DOUGH!) Girl Scouts of Central Illinois offers an empowering recognition program that affords Girl Scouts the opportunity to make a variety of choices. Through this recognition program, the girls will follow a decision-making process that includes goal setting, product choice evaluation, and making purchasing decisions based on what they have earned. Our recognition program not only rewards and encourages girls to set goals and work as a team to achieve them, but they also provide girls with a handson experience with purchasing and financial decision making. HOW COOKIE DOUGH WORKS Cookie Dough and recognitions will be earned throughout the entire cookie program, including booth sales! To encourage goal setting, girls must sell 50 boxes of cookies to qualify for Cookie Dough. Once a girl qualifies by selling 50 boxes of cookies, she will earn Cookie Dough (see levels below). Cookie Dough will be distributed on a Girl Scout Cookie Dough card. Every girl who sells 50 boxes of cookies or more will receive a Girl Scout Cookie Dough card. Cookie Dough may be used to pay for 2018 activities and events (resident camp, day camp, one-day events, and bus trips), membership registration, cookie recognitions, and merchandise in council Trefoil Boutiques.

THE WEEK PRIOR TO YOUR BOOTH SALE. Girls continue to earn credit toward council recognitions and Cookie Dough for boxes sold at booth sales through March 11. Track and transfer each girl s additional order in ebudde before you submit your recognition order by March 12, HOW MANY COOKIES SHOULD YOU ORDER FOR YOUR COOKIE BOOTHS? Before you place a Cookie Booth order, determine your current inventory. You might have enough on hand for your first Cookie Booth. In general, you should sell between 2-5 cases per hour. The amount of cookies you sell will vary based on: The customer count or traffic at you Cookie Booth location (Walmart vs. a small bank). The week of your Cookie Booth (week 1 will sell more than week 5). The weather. How you market your Cookie Booth (Goal setting and visibility counts!). The number of hours you hold your Cookie Booth. See the following page for tips on a successful Cookie Booth. WHICH VARIETIES SHOULD YOU ORDER FOR YOUR COOKIE BOOTHS? Before you place a cookie order, remember that your local service center will exchange cookies for you based upon availability. This is intended to help balance your inventory and provide for your troop s needs. One strategy is to limit the variety of cookies your troop carries. So instead of providing all 8 varieties, you may choose to have just the top 4 or 5 varieties. Below are some suggested quantities you may consider for your booth sale. Variety 5 cases 7 cases 11 cases 14 cases 17 cases 20 cases 25 cases 30 cases Savannah Smiles Trefoils Do Si Dos Samoas Tagalongs Thin Mints S mores Toffee-tastic SUCCESSFUL COOKIE BOOTH TIPS: Identify a well-trafficked site; ask the owner/manager for permission to hold a Cookie Booth.

Stock the Cookie Booth with a sufficient supply of cookies. Decorate the Cookie Booth with posters and goal charts. Let the customer know what buying a package of cookies will help girls accomplish. Tell them where the money goes. Fill in the goal chart as boxes are sold, so customers will also see how close girls are to their goal. Decorate a container for Operation Cookie Share. Customers may not want to purchase an entire box, but may give a dollar or two. Let it add up! Remember you earn $1 per box for each box of Operation Cookie Share ordered Wear your Girl Scout uniforms or other Girl Scout apparel.
