Today’s market doesn’t allow office managers to afford the extravagant expense of leather wingback chairs, chestnut wood paneling and 50-inch plasma screen televisions that can display the company’s logo all day long. No, today’s market requires tight budget businesses in all areas and often the first budget to be cut is the office supplies budget. With discerning executives and high-profile clients visiting, it’s possible to provide great stationery on a budget. Here you can find out how…

office furniture

As one of the greater features of an office, it can be tempting to rent out Abraham Lincoln’s oval office desk for your chief accountant to lean on between meetings. However, to save money, you can use a few different options. Used desks are relatively easy to get hold of. Visiting office clearance companies is a start while looking around town for offices to rent to get cheap office furniture that was meant for the charity shop. When all else fails, online office supply companies always offer great value for money and Ikea is never too far away.

To press

Ink cartridges can be expensive when bought off the high street. So why not have a new cartridge refilled every time for a fraction of the price? If you have a larger office with larger printing needs, you can save yourself money and hassle in the long run by signing up with an office supply company that will service, refill and dispose of your ink cartridges and toner.

paper

Buying recycled paper, envelopes and Avery labels may not save you money in the short term, but the moral value you derive from this selfless act will be well worth it. But seriously, an online stationery supplier can direct you to what is now a massive selection of fully recycled stationery at the same prices as its less eco-friendly cousins.

efficiency

By keeping an eye on the way your employees use their office supplies, you can save a lot of money throughout the year. Keep a list of the reams of paper and who uses them. If you see that an area is being used particularly heavily, investigate it. Sometimes a faulty printer that hasn’t been reported can eat through a large amount of paper. A quick repair can save you money.
