Payment is due within 15 days of receipt of product. This gives you time to collect enough money to pay your bill. You then keep the rest as profit. Go to purchase order form

How long is the fundraiser?
We recommend giving your sellers 1 week to sell their smencil allocation and turn in the money.
TIP: To ensure timely and accurate money turn-in, use a tracking sheet.
How much should I order?
The size of your order depends on the number of participants in your group and how many items you want them to sell. Since Spring Smencils come 10 inner buckets of 50 to the case, consider issuing 25 to each seller.
To determine how many cases to order, divide the number of participants in your group by 20. Round up to the next case number if needed.

Product Information
How much do they sell for?
We suggest selling Spring Smencils for $1 each.
How many smencils are in a case?
500. There are 10 inner buckets of 50. Each bucket contains 10 each of the 5 scents.
Are smencils individually packaged?
Yes. Each smencil is a No.2 graphite pencil that is packaged in its own recyclable plastic freshness tube.
Can scents be mixed in a case?
No. All scents are preselected and cases cannot be broken up.
How long do smencils stay fresh?
Scents are guaranteed to last for 2 years.
How are smencils made?
Smencils are fragrant pencils made from 100% recycled newspapers. Rolled newspaper sheets form around each core until the right pencil thickness results. Then they're hardened. This allows each smencil to be sharpened just like wooden pencils. Finally, we soak them with our gourmet liquid scents.
Making Sales
Is there a minimum order?
There is a 1 case minimum order requirement.
How much money can we make?
Estimating your profit is easy. Consider the following example.
A sponsor with 55 participants wants everyone to sell 25 smencils:
55 participants x 25 smencils / participant = 1,375 smencils1,375 smencils ÷ 500 smencils / case = 2.75 cases (Round up)
3 cases x 500 smencils / case = 1,500 smencils
1,500 smencils x $1.00 / smencil = $1,500.00 retail
$1,500.00 x 40% profit = $600.00 profit
The profit would be 40% because you would need to order 3 cases (Volume discounts apply).
