FLOMO Helps Local Bergen County Girl Scout Troop Sell Cookies with Donation of Reusable Lunch Bags

Teterboro, NJ May 16, 2012 - During the heavy Girl Scout cookie selling season, one clever troop in Bergen County, NJ boosted their cookie booth sales by offering their customers an incentive. For every three boxes bought, each customer received a FLOMO® reusable lunch bag with Girls Scouts 100^th Anniversary sticker attached. The free bag incentives helped the girls exceed their sales goal by selling more than 1,430 boxes. All thirteen girls from Ventures Troop 2000 were honored with a special troop award.

Their sales technique is just one example how Girl Scout troops find creative ways to sell their cookies. Working with companies and seeking donations, girls can pair up their sales with free gift incentives or services from outside the Girl Scouts organization – making unlimited opportunities.

Girl Scouts get various instrumental learning experiences through selling cookies. They learn to work as a team with the other members of their troop to figure out where and how they will sell the cookies – searching for highly populated areas that get a lot of traffic. Troops get experience setting up table displays of cookie boxes using their creativity to find ways to decorate the table, attract eyes, and gain more customers. Girls also learn communication skills in selling and talking to potential customers while explaining price, flavors, and the humanitarian benefits of buying cookies from their organization. FLOMO® recognizes the Girl Scouts’ hard effort and likes to support them.

FLOMO®/Nygala Corp. headquarters are located in Teterboro, NJ and is always looking for ways to give back to the community in any way possible. FLOMO®/Nygala Corp. is currently a proud Leadership Sponsor of the Girl Scout Councils of New Jersey’s 100^th Anniversary.

FLOMO Announces their Connect Sponsorship for the GSNNJ’s Women of Achievement 2011

On May 12, 2011, FLOMO was a proud Connect Sponsor for the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey’s annual Women of Achievement fundraiser. Five honorees were celebrated for their outstanding accomplishments in their careers and in our communities.

FLOMO is a continued supporter of the GSNNJ. In 2010, FLOMO sponsored their annual Eco Trek event that promotes living healthy and being green.

FLOMO will host this program again for free in March 2012.

FLOMO Holds 2-Day “Future CEO” Program for Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey

March 9, 2011 was the first day of FLOMO/Nygala Corp.’s 2-Day Girl Scout program, “Future CEO”, which teaches the fundamentals of the roles of a CEO, departments in business, and also includes a teambuilding and hands-on craft project. FLOMO/Nygala Corp. is a global manufacturing, import, and wholesale distribution company specializing in value price gift bags, stationery, party supplies, photo frames, mugs, decorations, and much more.

Led by an introduction of FLOMO/Nygala Corp.’s CEO, Wendy Shen, the girls were given a brief history of the company, CEO role functions, advice to building a successful business, and proper handshake instruction. Wendy Shen explains she is a, “Lifetime Girl Scout,” who is currently on the Board of the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey and was honored in GSNNJ Women of Achievement 2010.

After Shen’s interactive speech, the 30 or so teenage girl scouts and their troop leaders were given a tour of FLOMO/Nygala Corp.’s 200,000 sq. ft. warehouse and 20,000 sq. ft. showroom. 

Not only did the program focus on showing the girls what it takes to be a CEO and running a business, the company also utilized some of their thousands of products for a segment of the program called, Young Entrepreneurs Project. The project gathered the girls into their troops and gave them gift bags, art supplies, tissue paper, bows, ribbons, craft sticks, and so much more they could use to re-create or newly design a set of their own gift bags.

Day 2 of the program, March 16, 2011, will continue with an introduction of the company’s various departments and their roles, CEO commentary, and final presentation of the girls’ projects. Each team of girls will have about 5 minutes to present their designs, and the best judged team will all receive grand prizes. However, every attendee is a winner at FLOMO/Nygala Corp.’s “Future CEO” program. Attendees brought home notebooks, pens, recyclable bags, a premium gift bag, yellow notepad, and yellow FLOMO hat from Day 1. On Day 2, all attendees can expect a special bag full of FLOMO brand goodies.

FLOMO is a proud sponsor of the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey and is giving the Future CEO program to the girls at no charge. Recently, the CEO at FLOMO/Nygala Corp. sponsored 100 girls’ dues for one year in targeted low-income areas in NJ so they have the opportunity to be a Girl Scout and experience all of the great things that being a member ensues.
