Who do I sell to?
Everyone!!! Make a list of the friends, neighbors, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other relatives or people to whom you would like to offer these delicious foods. If appropriate, parents can take the sell sheet to work or meetings.
Why should they buy?
Outside of supporting your good cause, The Elegant Farmer offers premium, high quality foods made locally by hand with delicious, all natural ingredients you can be proud to sell.
What should the sellers know?
People want to know what they are supporting. A stated purpose for the funds such as new band uniforms or a particular trip is helpful in the selling process.
How long should we try to sell?
It is our experience that a 2-3 week period to sell the products is a long enough time period to be effective. Set and share a deadline date so everyone knows when to bring the forms back. The Elegant Farmer needs 10 days to prepare your order before delivery or pick-up.
