Everything you need to know about Popcornopolis fundraisers.

Is your school ready to launch its next fundraiser? Maybe you've heard the hype about profitable popcorn fundraisers but don't know which company to choose. When making your selection, you have options. You can launch a Popcornopolis fundraiser by asking your students to show a brochure, order it upfront and sell it directly, or even promote it using an online store.

This article shares everything you need about Popcornopolis to determine if it's right for your school.

What Is a Popcornopolis Fundraiser?

Many schools that choose Popcornopolis are looking for brand recognition to help drive sales. Students can sell online or by showing their friends and family a brochure in person. Popcornopolis offers six gourmet flavors: Zebra, Caramel Corn, Kettle Corn, Jalapeno Cheddar, White Cheddar, and Unicorn Popcorn. Other items available include popcorn cones and the popular 5-Cone Gift Basket.

Popcorn is an excellent sell as it is a favorite snack for many—the variety of flavors ranging from savory to sweet, offers something for every taste. Popcornopolis popcorn is a healthier alternative to other snack foods commonly sold in the school fundraiser space. The popcorn is popped in coconut oil, with no high-fructose corn syrup, and is gluten and GMO-free. This fundraising option is profitable for schools with a 40% profit margin and an average selling price of $13 per item.

Who Is Popcornopolis?

Popcornopolis has been in business for twenty years. The Popcornopolis story, as their website tells, explains how the founders spent fourteen grueling months perfecting the recipe to get the delicious popcorn we buy and sell today.

"Popcornopolis was founded by Wally and Kathy Arnold, who set out to create the world's most delicious gourmet caramel corn. After fourteen months spent carefully refining the recipe in their kitchen, Popcornopolis was born in 2003. Today Popcornopolis continues in the founders' footsteps, only making the most delicious popcorn you've ever tried."

Popcornopolis sources its corn from farms operating for over seventy-five years in the heartland of America.
