but I cant find it. When as consultants can we get the new products ?? do we have to wait until sept 1st too?
 
You will be able to order them as samples. When your change over kit arrives the order form will be in it. They will also be on CC at some point in the near future. We get to order them before Sept 1st, so, we will have them at our shows.

a small supply/sample of all the new paperwork

There will be 25 cattys, some write in order forms, and usually one of each of the new forms and such so you can see what they are like. They charge us only $6 to cover the shipping, which comes right out of our next commission check.
 
New catalogs, CD updates, seasonal DVD and other samples of the new paperwork. Should be shipped soon after NC ends. There is no charge for the kit, but you will be charged about $6 for the shipping.

Consultants should have it before the end of the month. I think 26th/29th somthing like that, I forget the exact date.

Whether or not u need more catalogs depends on how many you use, u will get a packet of 25 with the kit. And there is always a code for where you can get one free package of receipts.

Most of us put in a larger supply order for the new season. I know I always order the big 100 pack (almost like buying 3 packs of 25 and getting one free) to start off with. MAKE SURE you order the right season...if you order s/s and wanted f/w you are out of luck...no returns on supply orders!

Plus, I get a bunch of the colored "host benefits" flyers since I use them in my lapboards and give one to every host...

You should also be able to order a FREE trivet for the new season, as well....that's what they have given to us each year but I don't know what their plans are on that for the f/s season. Anyone know?
