Fundraising Experiences Selling Kernels Popcorn?

[Kerlo]

Hi There,

I'm looking into some fundraising initiatives for an organization that i'm part of. I'm wondering if anyone has ever sold Kernel's popcorn for fundraising purposes.

I sent in an information request to kernels and I'm waiting to hear back from them on pricing and stuff.

But from everyone else I'm wondering what was the experience like? Was it easy to sell?

We were at a baseball tournament and the Home team went around towards the end of both days. Kids swarmed them like flies on rice. The bags disappeared very fast.

Thanks for the info . . . A quick poll around the office seemed to indicate that ppl are more inclined to buy the stuff than chocolate bars.

I would definitely be more inclined to buy Kernels Popcorn than some random chocolate bars.

Yeah I would be more inclined to buy a bag of Kernels over a half empty $3 box of chocolate almonds.

Popcorn is always a hit.

The only chocolate bars worth selling at Aunti Ann's (sp? & IIRC). Everyone loves them as they are unique (whole almonds and caramel combo) and to die for. School's can't sell them anymore though due to the no nut policies. IIRC, we couldn't sell Kernal's due to that as well as they weren't certified nut product free which may or may not be a concern.

Do you mean Aunt Sarah's? These are the only chocolate bars worth selling and buying for fundraisers (IMHO). They are absolutely delish!! The few times I've helped sell this, they go like hotcakes!!

YES! OMG, they are so good. We could always sell cases and cases of these ourselves when we were able to sell them. Now with all the no nut policies with schools and other organizations when we see someone selling these we buy as many as we have the cash for, LOL!

^ I'll keep you in mind the next time I come across them again.
