$5 Shipping Promotion
We're kicking off Girl Scout Week a little early with our $5 Digital Cookie shipping promotion starting on March 7! Customers who purchase 10+ boxes of cookies through a Girl Scout or troop's Digital Cookie site will receive $5 flat-rate shipping!
A marketing email will be available in the Digital Cookie site for girls and troops to send to their customers. We will also be sharing some graphics that can be used to promote the shipping promotion on our Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons Member Connect Facebook Group.
Girl Scout Week Digital Cookie Challenge
We’re getting ready to celebrate the upcoming Girl Scout birthday in a SWEET way! This year, we’re inviting girls to join our Birthday Cookie Challenge. When girls sell 14 packages of cookies through Digital Cookie between March 7th and March 14th, they’ll be entered into a drawing to win a special birthday surprise! It’s a fun and easy way to reach new customers near and far and build confidence in digital entrepreneurship. Let’s rally our girls to share their links, spread the word, and make this birthday celebration one to remember — because nothing says party like cookies and Girl Scout spirit! There will be fourteen winners, with one Girl Scout walking away with the grand prize! Winners will be announced on March 18.
