How to estimate your <strong>Troop</strong> Initial Case Order (NEW TROOPS)<br />
At a troop/family cookie meeting, discuss the troop goals for the cookie program. Each girl (with her family) should set sales and<br />
personal goals. The troop can use the girl sales goals to help finalize the troop package goal.<br />
Things to consider when setting your troop goal:<br />
• What activities are the girls planning for the year?<br />
• Are they working on an award or bridging this spring?<br />
• Do they have a special community service project?<br />
If you have a brand new troop that has not previously participated in the <strong>Cookie</strong> Program, we have a form that will help you with<br />
your initial order estimate. It is located on your <strong>Cookie</strong> Program Resource CD and on GetYour<strong>Girl</strong>Power.org > Program > <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
Sale > Forms > Initial Order Estimate (new troops). Find the form that matches the program level for the girls in your troop by<br />
choosing the correct tab at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the page. The averages are different at each level. This form will help you ESTIMATE<br />
your order. You may order any amount that you are comfortable with.<br />
Enter the requested information:<br />
• SA, <strong>Troop</strong> Number, Level<br />
• Number <strong>of</strong> girls selling<br />
• Contact name, phone, and email<br />
• The form will calculate 105% <strong>of</strong> what the average sale was for your age level in 2011. You may increase or decrease your estimate<br />
by changing the percentage in the gray box.<br />
• Do a “File – Save As” and print a copy for later reference after you have completed the form.<br />
• See Snap instructions on pages 24 for directions on how to place your order.<br />
Initial Order <strong>Cookie</strong>s will be ORDERED IN FULL CASES.<br />
Enter your <strong>Troop</strong> Initial Order in Snap by January 11, <strong>2013</strong>. This initial order is placed at the troop level (not by individual girls).<br />
If you miss this deadline you must contact your Service Area Manager and you will have to place a planned order in Snap<br />
by 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 3, <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
