Nasty
cookies. That's right, this project was born out of nasty cookies. My
grandsons were 'selling' cookie dough for their school fundraising. I was
excited and happy it wasn't the weird cheap junk from a catalogue again. Or
the coupon books..yeah, the wonderful coupon
books.
So here's how nasty cookies
landed on my plate. The grandsons took orders for cookie dough, the volunteers
tabulated all the forms and sent them in. However, the individual parents were not
given a copy of their order form. And my super-salesmen-grandsons sold
cookie(s) to over 20 neighbors, friends and family.
The fateful day the cookie dough arrived and my grandsons received a list
like:
Chocolate chip -
8
White chocolate / macadama nut -
7
Oatmeal raisin - 5
Snicker doodle - 5
Peanut butter - 3
M&M -
3
Sugar - 2
Wonderful...who ordered what? And how to figure this out. And
how to keep the cookie dough frozen. What, you mean the parent's weren't
told to keep the dough frozen, not just in the fridge??? And doesn't everyone have
room for 33 packages of cookie dough in their freezer???
Good 'ole grandpa. "That's ok, just be sure to do your best and get
what everyone else wants to them...and whatever is left is what I
ordered." A long story shortened..... 3 months later I mentioned it,
and received the remaining cookie dough "cardboard box". It had been in
the refridgerator this entire time. I hoped baking would restore
moisture...but yea verily, not so.
As we were talking and laughing about the diet cookies...so bad you could stay
on your diet...we realized something. We could provide a resource to the
schools that would prevent all of these problems. Just imagine internet sales using
email, a direct retail website, automatic commission tracking, and even healthy
products.
We have website server space and software to create a unique site in
30 minutes. We have a shopping cart and business system that serves customers
flawlessly. All perfect for the task!
So now we are working to get the word out to school organizations! Thanks for
checking out our opportunity.
