Popcorn Kernels!!!!

With the flurry of emails, phone calls and social media posts I am hearing and seeing some good success during the first week of the popcorn sale. Units have been calling the Unit Service Center for additional product. With our inventory running low we ordered an additional 10 pallets worth of product that will be here next week, including the sought after Cheese Lovers Collection that was not available during the initial ordering process.

Inventory Tracking

Tracking inventory and sales is by far one of the most time intensive parts of the popcorn sale. Be sure to have a good plan to ensure success.

Take Order Selling Basics

The take order selling is one of the most classic ways of selling. Some units prefer this selling method because all orders are collected on a presale basis. The unit does not assume the risk with having inventory.
