20 EBUDDE BOOTH SALE
SCHEDULER FAQs Q: Why has the council gone to this type of booth
sale sign up system? A: We want to make this process as easy as we can
for everyone including Troop Cookie Managers,
Service Unit Cookie Managers and our community
partners. This system allows you to sign up for many
popular locations from the comfort of your home,
allows our Service Unit Cookie Managers more
time to focus on their other duties by not hosting
a lottery, and allows our store managers to deal
with one contact. We are also eliminating �double
booking�, keeping a more rened list for publication
on our website for our customers, and keeping
closer track of all booth sales. Q: I have a very large troop. Can I sign up for
more than the single time slot at a Council
Organized Booth Sale location? A: During the rst round of sign ups, you may �claim�
up to two time slots. Each must be at a different
store chain, not just different locations or days
at the same chain. During the second round of
sign ups, troops will be allowed to sign up for four
additional slots, at two different chains. These can
be contiguous slots so you have a longer time period
to sell. During the third round of sign ups, troops will
be allowed to sign up for four additional slots, at as
many chains as wanted. You may sign up for longer
periods of time, with management�s approval, when
you set up your own booth sales at other non-
council sponsored locations. Q: Will any locations be added after January 24,
2012? A: Yes! We are approving more locations every day.
Keep checking the site if your local store isn�t listed
or call the GSHS Product Sale Team to check on a
particular location. Q: Will my booth sale information be published
on the GSHS web site? A: Yes! All booth sale dates and locations will be
published on the Cookie Locator and updated
periodically so that customers can nd cookies
wherever GSHS Girl Scouts are selling. The Cookie
Locator can be accessed through the GSHS and
Little Brownie websites. This is good business for
your troop and for the store locations!
Cookie Locator information is what the GSHS
Marketing team uses on all marketing materials and
cookie promotions, including radio and television
appearances. If your location is not on the Booth
Sale Scheduler, customers in YOUR community will
not be aware of your booth sale. Q: What happens if another troop is at my
location at the same time? A: With the eBudde Booth Scheduler, this should
not happen. However, it is a good idea to print your
troop�s booth schedule from the eBudde site and
have it with you at booth sales as proof of your time
slot. Please courteously work this out between
yourself and the adults from the other troop.
Please contact the council if you cannot come to a
peaceful resolution.
Do not involve the store management or the girls! Q: Why isn�t my local store (Wal-Mart, etc.) listed
on the Council Organized Booth Sale Module? A: There are many reasons that your local store may
not be listed. Please do not call the store! Instead,
contact your Service Unit Cookie Manager or the
GSHS Product Sale Team for more information.
