[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Door to door sales don't work - nobody answers the door anymore (including me) and it's dark at 5 this time of year. 
But, I'm also opting out of digital sales this year because the website bombards my email contacts with multiple messages that I have no control over. And the digital platform is not really something DD10 can manage herself anyway, as she doesn't have an email address.

So, just booth sales for us.[/quote]

My DD does door to door, but we have a very small neighborhood with a lot of elderly people who expect to buy cookies that way. She’s had a great few years and usually averages ~15 houses of sales for knocking on 40 doors. A lot of people say no, which she practices for. As a child who was in pre-k and kindergarten during the pandemic, learning to interact with adults who she doesn’t know has been a really big confidence booster.

She does more sales at booths, but those have become more competitive in our area so she’s lucky to total ~60 boxes in 8 hours of booth shifts.

It does bother me that the girls who win “top seller” awards and prizes in our troop have parents who sell in their offices for their children and send emails and make social posts for their kids, but I know that my daughter will ultimately learn more by doing it her way. The proceeds get split by the entire troop anyway, so it works out.[/quote]
