Fall Product Program is HAPPENING NOW!
Make the Most of the Final Weeks of Fall Product
The Fall Product Program is underway, and there’s still plenty of time for Girl Scouts to make progress toward their goals before the program wraps up on October 26.
As we head into the second half of the program, encourage your Girl Scout to check in on her progress and think about a few simple ways to keep sales moving. Sharing her online storefront with friends and family, following up with previous customers, or reaching out to someone new can help her make the most of the remaining weeks.
There are also two special opportunities happening during this year’s program:
Sparkables Cookie Tasting
The five troops/Juliettes with the highest per-girl average in online Fall Product Program sales will win an exclusive tasting of our brand-new Girl Scout Cookie, Sparkables!
A special treat for your favorite pup!
The five troops/Juliettes with the highest per-girl average in BarkBox sales will win samples of our new dog-friendly cookie, Patch Pals, for their furry friends to taste test!
The Fall Product Program ends October 26; now is a great time to reconnect with customers, share those storefront links, and work toward the goals set at the beginning of the season!
