The deadline for your Show and Sell order will soon be here. To help ensure that this process goes smoothly here are a few reminders and tips;
Make sure that your unit has filed a 2018 Unit Commitment Form. Trails End zeros out the system every year. If you have not filed a commitment form, we do not have the information necessary to load you into the system. This will prohibit you from placing an order.
80% rule. Every returning unit’s threshold of 80% of their combined sales was on the sticker of their Popcorn Packet. This is the maximum order you can place without filing a Show and Sell Orders and Return Policy Form. There are two exceptions to this. First, if you have had a previous high seller transfer to your unit we will work with you to ensure they have enough corn to cover their needs. Please let us know the amount they sold last year. Second, if your unit conducted an early Take Order you can order the corn that you need to cover those sales. Both will require in writing why you wish to order over your threshold. All other orders over the 80% will not be processed without the accompanying form. Your 80% includes both Popcorn and Nuts.
Due date. Orders need to be placed by the due date of August 22
nd
. If you are having issues, contact your District Kernel or Executive. We strongly suggest that you do not wait till the last minute of the deadline in case you run into issues.
Submit. Be sure to submit your order once you are through with it. While working on your order you may save and go back to it later, but once completed it will not show up in the system until you have clicked on the submit button. Once submitted it will then be checked to make sure it passes the 80% rule.
If you need to place an additional order for the nuts be sure that you are only ordering the additional you want. We will add multiple orders together to get your final order. If you have any specific questions please address them to your District Kernel or Executive.
