[Jayhawk-chapter] Regarding our fund raising project, selling the Worlds Finest Chocolate bars.

[Cheryl Miller]

Chikako,
I missed getting to visit with you for a few minutes on Saturday. We will 
have a lot of time to visit on the way to Dallas though. I am so looking 
forward to that and so glad that you got things worked out to where you can 
come.

You asked for input on the selling price of the candy bars. I am thinking 
that it would simplify things to continue selling them for a dollar. It 
would limit the need for making change which is worth something. In 
addition, charging a dollar sounds so much better to people than pricing it 
more than a dollar. I think more people will purchase them at a dollar a bar 
than they would if we priced them higher. Therefore, we would make more in 
the long run and have an easier time selling them. These are just my 
thoughts for whatever they are worth.

Have a great week.
Cheryl

> Hello Everyone,
> It was good to see you-all this afternoon.  Because we wanted to enjoy Mr. 
> Michael McCary's useful show and tell knowledge base presentation as soon 
> as possible something rather important completely slipped from my mind to 
> mention during our chapter meeting; my apology.  Regarding the Worlds 
> Finest Chocolate bars, as we decided we purchased eight boxes of chocolate 
> bars.  This is the minimum purchase the company requires for a purchase 
> with fund raising purpose.  As I was told by a company representative it 
> was possible to purchase boxes of a specified chocolate bars of our 
> preference instead of assorted bars; however, as I made the purchase it 
> became apparent that was not the case.  Therefore, our purchase ended with 
> eight aboxes of assorted chocolate bars just as the same as last year. 
> Each box contains 50 chocolate bars.  Last year the cost of one bar was 50 
> cents.  This year it is 60 cents.  Last year we got 50 percent profit by 
> selling those chocolates for $1.00 per bar.  This year we are getting 
> 40percent profit because of 10-cent-raise.  The amount of sale price per 
> bar the company requires is still$1.00 per bar this year and it is printed 
> on outside of each box.  Should we sell for a dollar per chocolate bar? 
> Or should we raise the cost as (for instance) to $1.20 per bar for 50 
> percent profit?  Please let us know of your thoughts on this.  I 
> personally think it is agreeable for us to raise the price as a seller, 
> but as a buyer I like the price of a dollar even for per chocolate bar. 
> What are your thoughts?
> Sincerely,
