Based on the survey we did after last year’s sale most units preferred having popcorn available earlier to sell...what does that mean?
We will distribute product on Saturday, August 29
so you will have it before Labor Day.
That means the orders are due earlier as well and with the COVID- 19 situation it has moved our orders even earlier.
Orders are due this year on August 5, 2020!
The COVID-19 situation will affect product distribution from Trail's End. They also will require that we
limit our initial order to 50% of our sales from 2019
. With concerns about returned popcorn being redistributed we will also need to
limit returns at the end of the sale to 10% of your unit’s order
.
This will be safer for us as we still have some unknowns going into the fall. We will also provide
additional fulfillment opportunities
during the sale to get more product including our bonus distribution on September 26.
To assist you with your 2020 pre-order, below is a Pre-Order Guide that takes into account the simplified product line-up for this year and estimates your order at the 50% mark. In the guide, pre-order quantities are based on 50% of 2019 total sale, with partial cases rounded up. Chocolate Lover's and Skyline Tin sales were not used to project 2020 sales. Blazin' Hot quantity is based on Chocolate Caramel Crunch and Premium Caramel Corn sales from 2019. Unbelievable Butter quantity based on Unbelievable Butter microwave and Kettle Corn microwave sales.
This will be an estimate and you should make adjustments as needed for your unit while keeping your pre-order to 50% of your 2019 sale. If you have any questions or need help please reach out to use at
