The Information Sheet with color photos of the types of flowers sold can be found AT THIS LINK.
As always, collect at the point of sale. We are selling flats of 18 flowers in various types and colors.
Price per flat: $17--very competitive with stores
Profit per flat: $6 per flat directly into your Scout account and $2 per flat to the troop
A SCOUT IS THRIFTY. A Scout works to pay his own way.
Sell 21 flats... pay your dues for the next year!
Sell approximately 50-60 flats… pay for summer camp!
...You get the idea. Scouts, this is a wonderful way to pay your own way!
You will pick up the flats you sell and deliver them when they arrive. They are scheduled to be delivered in April. In the past, they have coordinated our delivery on a Monday just prior to our meeting. The flowers are grown locally and have been very hardy plants.
The linked forms make selling simple! If you are not comfortable going through your neighborhood, you can email the picture page to your neighbors. (Neighbors are your easiest deliveries.) Our family has great success with repeat customers on this fundraiser, and our list grows each time. I also advertise for our son on my Facebook page. Almost all of his Scout fees have been paid directly from his Scout account primarily thanks to this fundraiser.
Some additional selling tips are:
- Tell the customer what you are working toward--summer camp, paying your own dues, high adventure, etc. People love to help you reach a goal!
- Tell them it’s a great way to get flowers without getting dirt in their car.
- Encourage friends and neighbors to share your flyer. Here is the Facebook message I posted if anyone wants to copy and tweak it. I’ve also attached a picture of the flower choices I used with this wording.
Walker is selling flats of spring flowers to earn his way in Boy Scouts and pay for his trip to Philmont this summer. We will deliver in April, so no dirt will be in your car! The order is due Monday, March 4th. Please let us know if you're local and would like some. A flat is 18 four-inch plants for $17. Feel free to share this with your friends.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Kelly Morgan 972-567-9747 kelly.morgan1998@gmail.com
