Starting in August - Do it!

Hello everyone! It's August and that means the Fall popcorn season has officially begun!

A lot of boys don't start selling until September and sometimes October, even though the sale usually ends in November (except for online sales). So why should you start in August?

August is a good time to sell. Even though some people will be on vacation, many people will be getting ready for school and will be home. In some places, school starts in August and families are definitely home then. Selling in August means you won't be spending that time in September, so you will have more time to sell then. Also, it gives you a chance to sell to customers before they see scouts at a Show & Sell, since Show & Sells haven't started yet. It is better if someone in your neighborhood or nearby hasn't already bought popcorn when you get to the door.

Selling in August also helps get you into the mood of selling popcorn. It can take a while to get back to your routine and to be comfortable with your sale. The earlier you start, the easier it is.

Good luck selling!
