[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My beef with door to door, as the parent of a local Girl Scout, is the timing.  It’s literally during one of the worst possible times of year for selling cookies: we’re busy with holiday stuff AND people are already full of their own holiday cookies. [/b] Add the pandemic weirdness around masking (our neighborhood has been obsessive about masking outdoors) and it’s not an enticing prospect.

My DD happily does the booths and isn’t over the top at all.  She’ll ask if people walk up and look interested, but that’s about it.[/quote]

Totally agree. Plus the weather is horrible. Who wants to be walking around selling cookies in January. [/quote]

Totally agree. Horrible timing. We were out of town for 2 weeks and then super busy when we got back. We had 1 day to make this happen. It was so difficult, canceling and moving stuff. We went door-door and it was cold. I stayed on the driveway. Most people either didn't open their doors or said no. Some bought 1 box (and I didn't like that they felt it was an obligation). A few neighbors we know bought 2-4 boxes. 35 boxes total. Not sure if that is good or bad. We had some family members buy online. Our troop is barely active. They expect the girls to sell cookies but barely have any events. Last year she sold 50 boxes and the troop won some award so this year was 'free'. For my other kid, we were in a different neighborhood and we just sold to friends. It was way more fun then (5 yrs ago). [/quote]
