Setup

  • Make sure customers can see you
  • Don’t block foot traffic
  • Hold sign at chest level

    • Have customers scan QR code using their phone’s camera
    • Use the “Send via Text” option if QR code isn’t working
    • Help customers complete check out on their devices as needed

The Perfect Pitch

  1. Step forward toward customers
  2. Keep it short: “Hi! Would you like to support our team and help us plant trees? $20 does both!”
  3. Look customers in the eye
  4. Smile and be confident
  5. When someone says no:
    • If they say "no cash" → "No problem! We only accept credit or Apple Pay and Google Pay."
    • Always end with → "Thanks anyway, have a great day!"

Safety Essentials

  • Jamboree is a cashless fundraiser for your safety
    • If someone wants to support you with cash, thank them and politely ask if they would be comfortable using a card or Apple/Google Pay
  • Chaperones must always:
    • Keep sellers in sight at all times
    • Track all transactions as they happen

Remember!

  • Stay positive — not everyone will buy, and that's okay!
  • Don't judge by appearance — anyone could be your next supporter
  • Be polite to store staff — they're helping you succeed
  • Never be pushy — represent your organization with pride
