Top 5 Office Supplies Bought Online




By Doug Sandle

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few years, you're well aware of the online-shopping craze that's sweeping the country! From rare books and CDs, to cars and vacations, shopping for unusual items and oddities has been simplified with just a click of a mouse with the Internet's virtual shopping malls. But what about the latest trend- the one about shopping for your "not so atypical" office supplies online? What exactly are your peers and competitors shopping for online, saving both time and fuel in the process? To aid you in your quest, we've compiled a list of the "top 5 office supplies shopped for online".


1. Office Planners and Calendars- Organization is key to productivity. Having all of your employees on the same page is another factor of success.


2. Janitorial Supplies- From cleaning aids to paper supplies, no one wants the task of replenishing these items even though they are reimbursed for them. By adding a few items to your online office supply-shopping list each week, no one will ever have to be responsible for this dreaded task again.


3. Mailing Supplies- Postal supplies are critical to any company. The ability to purchase large, resealable envelopes for office to office usage, plus postal tubes and other specialty mailing supplies in one location without a catalog is priceless. Postal scales and labels are also important, as they can save money and time in the process.


4. Paper- Copy, inkjet, laser, business cards, personalized stationary – you name it. It always seems as though your local shop is out of the one you're in need of, doesn't it? Online shopping for such items alleviates this unfortunate possibility, as you will be completely aware of what's out of stock before you make your final purchase.


5. Filing and Archive Supplies- Filing and keeping everything in an organized manner can mean the difference between a positive and negative outcome. In other words, you may lose business if you are unable to locate something in a hurry. Other related items may include display books for potential customers and clients to look through at their leisure, document wallets to make you look as organized and prepared as you are, and conference folders to get everyone up to speed.


On a final note, be sure to be aware of shipping/delivery charges, as this can increase the cost of your supplies to an unreasonable level. Free shipping/delivery for spending more than a certain amount is a feature you shouldn't compromise on.
