The New Year is a great time for businesses to look at last year's expenses to see where they can save money on office supplies. Cartridge World, a large printer cartridge retailer, is offering office managers a few tips that can save hundreds of dollars.
Says Frank Case, president of Cartridge World, We know how difficult it is for businesses to prosper in tough economic times, because we're business owners, too.
- When printing internal office documents, use a less-expensive recycled paper stock. Save the higher-quality paper for the important client documents, and encourage your staff to use the backside of pre-printed documents for working drafts.
- Keep a tab on the total cost of office supplies ordered each month. Make sure orders meet the minimum order amount required to receive free or discounted shipping. Stock up and order every-day-use office supplies when they are on sale.
- Use online postage to save the time and expense of going to and standing in line at the post office. The fee for service is often less costly than the mileage and time to drive there. Unlike postage meters, there is no extra equipment to purchase or rent. If you have a computer, a printer, and a scale with ounces, you've got all the equipment you need.
Cartridge World has more than 1,700 franchised retail locations in 50 countries. For more information, call (888) 99-REFILL or visit www.CartridgeWorld.com.
