The Girl Scout, whose virtual cookie sales speech went viral earlier this year, sold thousands of boxes of cookies. Now, she is focused on giving back to the community.
Allie Shroyer, a first-year student from Scottsdale, Arizona, was starting to sell Girl Scout cookies in January of this year, when she gave a lovely sales pitch to a doorbell security camera.
Her mother, Kristen Shroyer, posted the suggestion on Facebook and the video quickly went viral. In 24 hours, Allie sold more than 200 boxes of cookies. Within a week, its sales rose to 600 boxes, which was more than its original sales target, Fox News previously reported.

According to ABC15, Allie ended up selling 3,750 boxes of cookies to people in the United States.
Allie also reportedly donated more than 1,000 boxes of cookies to nursing homes, hospitals and health professionals, the local station reported.

“She wanted to reach the goal of having more than 1,000 boxes donated to nursing homes, to bring a little joy to the older isolated,” Kristen told ABC15.
According to the season, Allie’s troops also donated $ 1,000 for pediatric cancer research using part of the proceeds from their cookie sales.

The reason Allie delivered a virtual sales pitch in the first place was because of the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News previously reported.
In normal times, she probably would have sold cookies to her neighbors face to face, but the pandemic forced her to rethink her strategy.

In January, Kristen told People that the doorbell security camera sales pitch was the “second best thing” for personal sales.

“I knew she couldn’t go door to door, so we thought the next best thing would be to record a sales pitch at the door,” Kristen told the magazine at the time.
“It is important for us that she still learns the skills she acquired by going door to door versus her mother just by sending a link,” she added. “She was unprepared. We just reminded her of the price of the boxes and told her to give us her best selling point.”
