Historically
 Mountain Empire Promotions was founded in 1996 by Jim Pollock in Johnson City, TN. After successfully representing Cherrydale Farms for eleven years, Pollock decided that the timing was right to develop a locally-owned independent company to specifically service the elementary and middle school market in the Mountain Empire Region.
Schools across the Southeast can now benefit by having direct contact with ownership, more input on product lines, incentives, same-day service and less red tape or corporate delays. In other words: If you need something, just ask the boss!
Statistically...
These school samplings are from hundreds of sales conducted in Fall 2010, but reflect the averages that we are currently seeing on brochure sales vs. cookie dough sales. The good news is that all lines are producing outstanding numbers, but our cookie dough alone is generating upwards $80-100/student in most schools!

About Mountain Empire Promotions
As a 'fundraising' company, we are primarily focused on creating new ways to increase your sales volume so that you ultimately earn more profit. And, the only way to increase the revenue is to provide new & better incentives for the students and parents to participate in our program! In fact, it is our responsibility to help your school earn more profit than you have before. Otherwise, there
would be no point in talking with us! Furthermore, we firmly believe that we have the absolute strongest and most
effective fundraising program in the entire industry.
