Kick Off – In the Bag

Sales Flyers/Envelopes

-How to Conduct a Tasting Session-The purpose of a tasting session is to have each boy try 1 or 2 kernels of each flavor. Once everyone has tasted each flavor, have the boys vote on

which popcorn they liked best! Tally the votes and determine which flavors were everyone’s favorites. Have fun with it!

-Why Tasting Sessions are going to help rocket our sales-

By conducting a tasting session for your group you create product familiarity and product knowledge. Now each scout can use the tasting results

as a selling tool! For example, when the boys are at someone’s door selling and the buyer says “I don’t know what to get” the boy can say

“My pack did a taste testing session and we decided that Caramel was the best, but I like Jalapeno Cheese so you should buy them both!”

Enjoy your Tasting Kits and good luck selling this season!

Sincerely, Your Friends at Pecatonica River Popcorn
