How Does It Work?

Create an account and follow the instructions on the page to send emails to customers.

·         An email will be sent to the addresses chosen asking them to make purchase. If a purchase isn’t made, two follow up emails will be sent at 1 week intervals reminding customers that there is still time to make a purchase. That is a total of 3 emails.

·         Customers order through the online site and pay directly via credit card.

·         At the end of the sale, an email will be sent to the girl via the email address provided reminding her to print a copy of her Online Sales Report.

·         Girls must submit an Online Sales Report to their Troop Product Manager or Troop Leader by the deadline to receive credit for these sales and to earn the Online Patch for entering 12 or more emails.

·         Orders received after November 16, 2014 will be processed but cannot be counted towards girls total sales, recognitions, or troop proceeds.

Skills & Knowledge

Goal Setting: Girls set goals individually and as a team. Then they 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 troop proceeds, furthering critical thinking and problem solving skills that will help in many aspects of life.

Money Management: Girls take orders, handle customers’ money and gain valuable and practical life skills around financial literacy.

People Skills: Girls learn how to talk to, listen to and work with all kinds of people while participating in the Fall Sale Program. 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 Fall Sale Program. Their business ethics reinforce the positive values they are developing as Girl Scouts.
