What does “brochure selling” mean?
Brochure selling is the traditional fundraising sales method. Members of your group receive a brochure and sell to friend, family, and neighbors. Money is collected when the order is placed. At the close of the sales period, the group leader will collect order forms and money. The leader will then place the group order through our web site and submit payment, keeping the profit for the unit.

What does “tabletop selling” mean?
In tabletop selling, the group sells directly to the consumer. Old World Spices & Seasonings will supply full cases of product for the sale. Your payment terms will be 50% @ 30 / Net 60; this will include the cost of freight. This lessens your financial risk, and eliminates the need of delivering product to the consumer at a later date. Please note, there is a $500.00 minimum order & we do not accept returns.

What is the best location for conducting tabletop sales?
Many area Home Builders Associations offer free (or deeply discounted) booth spaces to scouting organizations at their seasonal trade shows. Church and school events, area sporting events, and local retailers are also popular places to sell product. Remember to select safe locations with high traffic volume. Always ask for permission and arrange a set date for the event.

Once we decide to sell Old World’s products, how do we get started?
Contact one of our sales representatives at (816) 861-0400 and we will walk you through the process. We will need to know the number of people in your group, the date you would like to kick off the fundraiser, and contact information. We will also need to discuss whether your group wishes to conduct brochure or table top sales.
Once we have all of the information, we will send you a Fundraising Sales Kit. This kit will include everything you need – samples for tasting, packaging examples, brochures and order forms, and instructions for placing the web order.
