We don’t separate all the neighbors, friends, and relatives cookies into small piles. We keep all 200+ boxes of cookies in cases the way we picked them up.

We take our cookies to deliver and knock on more doors of the neighbors next to the ones who ordered from us.

We also take a rolling cart or a couple mixed cases w us everyday when we go out and about. We offer them to people everywhere we go by asking, “Have you had a chance to buy Girl Scout cookies yet?” We take them to church, dance, soccer, the doctor’s office, even restaurants!

The third thing we did is purchase window paint markers and wrote on the windows of my truck. We wrote, “Get your GS COOKIES now!” “Honk 4 GS Cookies” “Girl Scouts Rock!” “Got Cookies?” “$3.50/box” Hobby Lobby and Oriental Trading sell these markers and they wash right off when you are done with Cookie Season.

Last year Lizzie and Sarah were Cookie Stars with 200+ boxes of preorders. These things helped us sell and additional 100+ boxes (that’s only 9 cases) of cookies each between delivery time and booths. We found we could sell 25 boxes and hour knocking on doors when folks are home from work. The key was having cookies in our hands and more in the truck or wagon at the curb.

Near March 1st, at the end of delivery season, we take inventory of how many more cookies we need to complete delivery of our initial orders and we get those done no later than the beginning of Spring Break.
