Fall Product Sales 2009
The Fall Product Sales Program runs through the month of October, 2009
and includes QSP "Be A Reader" and the Nut/Candy Program.
 |
This is a family and friends program, where your Girl Scout will be taking orders for nuts/candy and magazines/books/cds directly from your family members and friends. The combined QSP/Nut Program will provide your Girl Scout’s Troop funds for more activities and trips during the first half of the Girl Scout year.
|
What is the QSP Program?
QSP, a division of Time Inc, sponsors a Girl Scout money earning program that promotes literacy through the sale of magazine subscriptions, books, and compact discs. 45% of the value of each order is retained by GSCB and helps to subsidize Girl Scout programs. 15% of each order stays with the Troops for Troop activities. All orders are backed by a guarantee of service by QSP. Customers do not become part of a mailing list through QSP. Any new magazine subscriptions will start 12 - 14 weeks after the orders are processed in November.
 |
What is the Nut/Candy program?
The sale of nuts and candy is a component of the Fall Product Sales Program. Girl Scouts will be able to offer customers the option to purchase a wide range of delicious and attractively packaged nuts and candy at affordable prices. This is a program to share with your family and friends, and because they will arrive in the Service Unit between December 1st - 3rd, products will be delivered prior to the holidays and make excellent, low cost gifts! |
How it works:
Ordering/Renewing your family and friends’ favorite magazines.
Your Girl Scout contacts family and friends asking them to renew or subscribe to their favorite magazines. She also has the option to contact family and friends via email through QSP’s online magazine ordering system. Your Girl Scout will earn Troop proceeds and recognitions for each subscription purchased.
Friendly Referrals using Address Adventure
Your Girl Scout can ask family and friends living in other communities to help support Girl Scouts by completing the special referral coupons in the mail-out booklets. QSP will mail information which shows them how to purchase their favorite publications at the same low prices. Your Girl Scout will earn the "Investigate Patch" and Bandz Bracelet for 10 address coupons. The Troop will earn 30¢ per coupon. (Maximum 11 address coupons per girl.) Your friends and family members will receive two mailings. QSP does not database these addresses, they simply make a copy of the referral coupon. Even if the person orders from the first mailing, they will receive a second mailing.
Great Tasting Nuts and Candy
This portion of the program provides your Girl Scout the opportunity to offer family and friends the option to support Girl Scouts by purchasing high-quality, delicious nuts and candy. The nuts and candies are attractively packaged, will be delivered before the holidays, and make thoughtful gifts or “thank you” presents. |
