Otis Spunkmeyer & More

Your group raises money when your participants take brochure orders.

Yes. Every participant receives a catalog, order taker, and money collection envelope.

You will not be charged upfront for any supplies, and they are free if your average sale per enrolled participant is $8 or less. If this is the case, you will incur a $0.75 charge per enrolled participant if running a sale between July 1 and December 31st. The fee for sales runs from January 1 to June 30 and is $0.40 per enrollee.

For example, if you run a fall sale with 100 participants and your total sales are $800, then an additional fee of $75 will be added to your invoice (100 participants x $0.75 = $75).

We will add any supply cost fee to your invoice.

NOTE: Brochure and online ship-to-group sales count towards the minimum free supply requirement.

Yes. Buyers can pay by check, cash, money order, or cashier's check. They also have the option to pay using their phone.

Learn about our timeline.

More extended sales typically don't translate into more earnings because they can lead to increased seller procrastination and worse sales results. We've found two weeks optimal, so your end date will be set accordingly by default. You can always let us know if you need to extend your sale about three-quarters of the way through.

To succeed, focus on creating a sense of seller urgency, getting out of the gate quickly, and establishing early momentum.

You must know your group size and participant goal. Here's how you can estimate your profit:

Calculation Steps

1. Participant Count x Participant Item Goal = Items Sold
2. Items Sold x Average Retail Price = Gross Sales
3. Gross Sales x Profit % = Group Profit

Example

1. Let's say you have 60 participants and set your participant item goal at 10. The items sold would be 60 participants x 10 Items/participants = 600.
2. Next, determine your gross sales. The average retail price is about $22, so your gross sales would be 600 Items x $22 = $13,200.
3. Since your profit is 40%, your group profit would be $13,200 x 40% = $5,280.

Keep in mind our example is only an estimated profit. In reality, participants probably won't sell the same number of items. In addition, the average retail dollars sold per seller will vary.
