Do you get new catalogs automatically? Or do you have to remember to order them each season? If you do get them automatically how many to they send you? TIA
 
Each season you will get a "change over" kit that contains 25 catalogs for the upcoming season (spring coming up), 1 season's Best Cookbook, recipes for the new season, and many other things to help you with your business. I usually buy 100 catalogs to start with when they say we can start buying paperwork for the new season. Some consultants, who don't do as many shows, will go in together on 100 catalogs to share. You will see how many catalogs you go through as your business progresses.

Is this change over kit something that is "provided" to us by the HO, or is it something that we need to purchase?

It will come automatically at the end of January. Shipping is deducted from your commissions check - I think it's $6.00.
 
Its the one HO sends us and they take out $6.00 from our pay check to cover the shipping.
