Why aren't Girl Scout cookies sold year round? Wouldn't they make more money if they weren't seasonal?

Question

Waiting for Girl Scout cookie season is like waiting for Christmas, don't you agree? They're so delicious!

Answer 1

First of all girl scout cookie season is not over in TN. If you could have them at your disposal year round would you still want them? Would X-mas be fun year round?
Buy lots of boxes and try to make em last.
Good luck!

Answer 2

I don't agree. In my opinion, Girl Scout cookies are more expensive than and worse tasting than many other cookies on the market. Many people love them, of course, but many others just buy them as a favor to the girls or their parents. If they were sold year round, the novelty of buying them once a year would wear off and nobody would want to buy them anymore except those people who really love them.

Answer 3

supply & demand. By only offering them at one time/year they build up the desire & you buy more than if you could get them whenever you liked. Also, remember that almost all Girl Scout & Brownie troops meet through their schools, so it takes a few months to get new girls into the swing of things & the rhythm of the troop & they need to be done, and have the money collected, before school lets out in the Spring.

Answer 4

I know I wouldn't buy 6 boxes at once if they were sold year-round, only 1, if any. You get so few in a box anyway. I think the seasonal sales take advantage of people who feel warmly towards charitable children's groups and who will buy more than they normally would of Chips Ahoy or Oreos.
