Received an email today from the Girl Scout Store advertising all their cookie gear.  They now have everything from badges, to socks, to scrapbook kits, to a totally awesome cookie jar!  Check it out all the Girl Scout cookie gear here.

I’m not the kind of person that uses a cookie car, but this is awesome.  Also, to reflect back for a moment, it’s been 10 years since I was a girl scout and I can selfishly wish they’d been smart enough to market this kind of thing when I was a scout!  Not only is this a cool piece of paraphernalia, but it would have been a great thing to be able to sell to neighbors, friends, and relatives along with the cookies.  What an up-sell opportunity!  I have the benefit of being able to look back on this from my current career in marketing to know that any up-sell opportunity it one worth exploring.

I’m also really glad to see that there are actual badges now regarding the cookie sales.  I remember all we got was the event patch for participating, and I always had the nifty little Top Seller add-on patch.  Way to go GSUSA!
