IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Girl Scout Fall Product Program teaches your Girl Scout the “5 Skills” that will help her grow into a leader and prepare her for the future.

Goal Setting: Empowering her to define what she wants and to create a plan to succeed. Help your daughter set goals, view rewards & send emails using M2OS.

Decision Making: Teaching her critical thinking and problem solving skills. Has her troop decided on a goal? Work with your Girl Scout and the troop leadership to learn more about the goal and what steps and decisions your Girl Scout can make to reach that goal.

Money Management: Mastering financial literacy skills. Use the money envelope provided in your girl packet. Help your Girl Scout calculate how many orders she needs to reach her goal and track her progress.

People Skills: Communicating and understanding customers. Help your daughter ask friends and family for support. Work with your Girl Scout to encourage customers to donate to the Care to Share opportunity.

Business Ethics: Reinforcing the positive values she is developing as a Girl Scout. Be courteous, smile and say “Thank you” whether or not you get the sale. Turn in your money and orders on time. Deliver all your orders.

WHY PARTICIPATE?

2

Order Taking: Girls can use an order card to collect orders then deliver!

Direct: Girls can go door-to-door, participate in booth sales*, and join in troop or group walkabouts to mentor and encourage one another!

Please note: A special request must be made to hold a fall booth sales. Let your Juliette Coordinator know if you would like to participate in booth sales. They will check with the Booth Sale Coordinator for booth availability.

Digital: Girls may send text messages and emails inviting friends and family to order products online using the M2OS online sales program.

Girls and parents are highly encouraged in using the online platform for collecting fall product orders. Customers order online, pay online, and can choose to have the product shipped to them or delivered by their favorite Girl Scout.

• Girls are only to use the internet to market the Girl Scout Fall Product Program to friends and family (for clarity, “friends and family” are people whom the girl or her family personally know).

• For safety purposes, online marketing activities, especially those conducted through social media platforms, should always be done through accounts set to “private”.

• Friends and family of a girl participating in the Fall Program must not market or share a girl’s contact information, sales links, or sales information on public-facing online sites.

• Parents guide their daughters when making individual learning and sales goals. Parents determine the number of products to order and are responsible for payment of all products received.

• Individual Sellers participate fully in our rewards plan, which includes all patches, items, and events. Juliette’s are not eligible for troop proceeds.

• Participate in online sales and Care to Share only unless a Juliette Regional Coordinator volunteer is appointed to facilitate product distribution and money collection.

• Parents are responsible for all money collected from customers.

• Parents should obtain signed receipts for all products received and for all money submitted to Juliette Coordinator.

• Wear your Girl Scout uniform and pins when selling.

• Tell customers how your troop will use the troop proceeds.

Helpful Hint: Make a poster to show customers your goals and how your troop will use troop proceeds.

• Encourage customers to support our Care to Share donation program.

• Use M2OS online sales program to:

LAUNCHING HER FALL PRODUCT BUSINESS

4 Easy Steps to Rise Up with M2OS

Parents/Girls will receive an email from M2 Media which will include key details about participating using the M2OS online system including how to register, videos and more!

Didn’t receive an email? No problem! Go to gsnutsandmags.com/gsoc and follow the prompts to set up an M2OS account with your Girl Scout. You’ll need to have your troop number ready to help you set up an account. Girls can only have one M2OS account, so please do not create more than one!

Help your Girl Scout create her own personalized storefront and avatar. Creating an avatar is fun and easy. You will also be able to upload a photo and video for friends and family to see. This step is optional, but has been proven to increase sales. Girls have the opportunity to earn their own avatar patch! Send emails! Girls who send at least fifteen emails through M2OS have 148% higher sales than girls who don’t.

Girls must complete the following to earn the patch:

• Create their own personalized avatar

• Send 18 emails through M2OS

• Have at least $325 in sales

• This patch will be mailed directly to the girl’s home, so be sure to enter her mailing address into M2OS. As each patch is unique and personalized, patches should ship in February.

• Patch will be sent to production as soon as criteria is met, so make sure to have your avatar personalized the way you want it made.

To earn this patch girls will need to:

• Create an M2OS Avatar in the Fall Product • Send 18 emails through M2OS in the Fall • Sell 250 packages of cookies during the 2022 Cookie Programs

THESE PATCHES WILL SHIP IN MAY DIRECTLY TO YOUR HOME.

Once you have sent your emails, you can also share your storefront on social media. Customers can choose the Direct Ship option, purchase from a full assortment of Girl Scout products or magazines, and pay with a credit card. These items will be directly sent to the customer, with no money to collect or product to deliver.

Girls can choose to offer an online girl delivered option to customers in the local area where the customer pays for nuts online with a credit card and then the girl delivers the online girl delivered order with the rest of her in person nut, candy orders. All sales are automatically reported in M2OS. With this option, customers can select from the 16 nut and candy items listed on the paper order card.

Deadline: The last day girls receive credit for online orders is October 17, 2021. Be sure to personalize your email to customers, encouraging them to order before the end date. Online orders cannot be placed after October 17, 2021.

Girls can also choose to take orders using the traditional paper order card. You will be able to enter these order totals directly into her M2 storefront through October 15.
