I'm pretty sure I saw this in an email from HO, but now can't find it.

When will the kit start shipping with the new fall catalogs?

Also, if someone signs this week (and receives the current catalogs), can I assume that when they submit their supply booster in August it will come with fall catalogs and paperwork?

Thanks
leggy :)
 
There was information in the last Weekly Bites from May. Here's from the May 29 WB:It's not too early to begin thinking about the new fall selling season! To help you plan, here are delivery dates for fall paperwork and samples: * Fall paperwork packages and sample products will ship to arrive to National Executive Directors, Senior Executive Directors and Executive Directors by July 19 and to all other Directors by July 28. Paperwork packages will ship to arrive to Consultants by August 1. * You can begin ordering fall paperwork on July 24. * Spring/summer paperwork will be available to order until August 14. Remember to order just enough to last through August. * Paperwork/supply orders filled on or after August 15 will contain new fall paperwork, which you can begin using Sept. 1. The following paperwork pieces will be updated for the fall season. Keep this in mind when placing your final spring supply orders:
-Catalog
-Cooking Show Planning Guide
-Fundraiser Flyer
-Gift Certificate order forms
-Itemized Sales Receipt
-Mini Catalog
-Opportunity Brochure
-PamperedPartner® Sales Receipt
-Rewards Booklet
-Show Benefits Flyer
-Show Order Form
- New Consultant Rewards Brochure
-Theme Show Materials: * Postcard Invitations
* Appetizers Theme Show Recipe Card
* Desserts Theme Show Recipe Card
* Main Dishes Theme Show Recipe Card
* Display Folder
* Training Materials-Write-in Sales Receipt
-Wedding Shower Planners
 
And to answer your question about submitting the booster order in Aug.- if they submit it after Aug 15, it should come with Fall paperwork, as that's the cutoff date for spring orders.

thanks ann....I could have sworn I saw something that specifically addressed when the kits would switch to the new catalogs. Does that ring a bell with you?
 
Kinda-- was it in the July newsletter? I didn't see anything in the more recent Weekly Bytes.
