So I have 2 people who will be signing up this month (or so they tell me -- I choose to believe them :)).
Here's my question. If they sign at this point (ie: mid-late Feb) I assume there will be F/W catalogs / supplies in their kits. Or will it be S/S??
I want to give the new recruits a good idea of what to expect re: changeover.
 
I just had someone sign late Friday night and she just got her kit....it had 2 packs of the new spring/summer catalogs -no f/w catalogs. Since she's trying to do some catalog shows this month, I just gave her a bunch of my f/w ones to get her going.

I'm not exactly sure of the cut-off because I also had someone sign about 4 days before her and she got one pack of each. Maybe if they're doing Feb shows, you can give them some catalogs if you have any.
 
I believe Feb 22 is the cut off. On or after that date they'll receive Spring paperwork. It was just in WEekly Bites.

Same thing happened with my most recent recruit. She just called HO and they overnighted a pack of F/W catalogs to her.

thanks ladies:) I knew you could give me the scoop!!
 
Becky, I would call HO on that. They are still supposed to be getting a mix of both seasons.
