Lady_Leigh67 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Is anyone else a little concerned that their Unit's Popcorn Sale won't go that well this year due to gas prices, housing expenses, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The economy has been bad for a number of years now. You can't let it discourage you. Basically you just need to work harder for the sales you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meschen Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 My Son's Troop does their fundraiser the first week in July. Not Popcorn, but sales were well below normal this year. The economy was certainly a primary factor. Our Pack has already planned to increase the number of PC show-and-sells this year from two to five becuase of concerns over the the economy. If things go badly at the first show-and-sell we'll need to do even more. We're also unhappy happy that the price of the best selling item was increased from $9 to $10. That extra buck often found its way into the donation tin when we were told to keep the change. Now, we won't get that extra $1. It also won't help that our best seller has moved on to Boy Scouts. So yes, were are concerned, and the economy is the main reason for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
