Can someone explain this to me? I think I read somewhere on here where you can do a kit enhancement during your third starter month or something like that and then in April...is that right? And what exactly can I order during this time to get a discount? I didn't know if it is just products or if it's supplies too. My 3rd starter month is February so I'm just checking before I miss out on anything.
 
Kit Enhancement answerOkay, so here's how it works:

In your FOURTH month (after your first 3 SS months), you can purchase any product (1 of each), up to a $500 retail value, for 40% off. If Feb. is SS 3 for you, then that would mean March is your new consultant Kit Enhancement month. The only restriction is that you cannot purchase anything that you got in your kit or that you earned in your SS months.

Then, in April, every active consultant has a Kit Enhancement month. Same principle as above, but no restrictions on which items you can buy...just still only 1 of each item, and up to $500 retail. The concept being to enhance our kits, not to buy stuff to resell.

Hope this helps! Happy Selling!
 
...I feel dumb to ask but...is that different from the "sample" orders available right now?
 
Oh, don't feel dumb.....

yes it is completly different. Sample products are available to consultants every changeover for the new products only.

Kit enhancement, like everyone else has been saying, is 40% off anything in the catalog up to $500 during your 4th month and every April.
 
Wow! Thanks for putting it in simple terms...I am sometimes quite the "rock"!
 
Okay..so December was my SS 3 month and now its January so I can purchase items at 40% off? How do I go about getting it and having them know about my 40% off?

Do a non-commissionable order and drop down to find "kit enhancement". Then just show. It automatically enters the discount for you.

The other thing that you should be aware of is the current new season is not included in the enhancement list of products - that's because we are able to order those at 50% off as sample products.
 
Thank you! I know I'm going to order the new sample pack but I thought I would get some of the items that won't be available anymore too.

Supply & Sample S&H QuestionAs I understand it you can only place 1 supply order for $3.50 in a single month additional supply orders incur higher S&H if placed in the same month.

My question then is if I place a supply order and then a sample order are they each at the $3.50 S&H or is one higher or should I place them together or is that even possible?

Thanks,
LindaK

You do have to pay both shipping fees, can't put them together - sorry. But the good news is that you don't pay extra. They are two different type of orders.
 
OK, great. Thanks!
