| Dear Hayley,
Welcome back! Can you believe it is August? Time flies, as they say. With this busy time of year--the last of the vacations, afternoons at the pool, school shopping--keep in mind that Smart Business Products is your single-source supplier for all your office's needs. From paper to toner to T.P. and bottled water, we can help you make quick and affordable purchases for every area in the office so you are free to enjoy the end of summer. With next-day delivery at no charge for orders over $25, we will keep you in the AC where it is cool. We look forward to making the most out of your August! |
| More to Price than Meets the Eye... |
There's a lot that goes into factoring the true cost of the products you buy for your business. A carton of paper may show a purchase price of $25 but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Studies show that every time your organization makes a purchase, it costs between $50-$150 or even more depending on the complexity of your purchasing process.
Where do these costs come from? There's the process of identifying the right product, selecting a supplier, ordering the product, receiving it, distributing it to the proper person, processing the invoice and generating payment. A number of people may be involved on multiple levels and there's plenty of opportunity for efficiency gaps.
One way to enjoy dramatic savings is to consolidate your company's purchases to fewer suppliers and ensure your purchasing procedures are as efficient as possible. That's where Smart Business Products can help.
We've helped many companies streamline the purchasing cycle, reducing the time and headaches associated with buying the products that keep their office running.
We can be the Single Source Solution for all of your business products needs. Furniture, printers, printer supplies, paper, filing supplies, cleaning and breakroom supplies; we have it all and we deliver to you--saving even more time and money.
One Call - One Delivery - One Invoice
One Heck of a Great Deal!

At Smart Business Products, we work extremely hard to provide our customers the absolute best combination of personalized service and excellent pricing. We know that one of the value-added services extremely important to our customers is our free next-day delivery. Our commitment is to deliver your orders placed as late as 4:30 pm - next day. In addition, we strive to fill your orders 100% complete.
Over the past year we have seen significant increases in the cost of fuel. We have done our best to absorb these costs, but as you can imagine, operating a fleet of deliver vehicles today can be an expensive proposition. We know how important free delivery is to you and want to let you know that we have no plans to discontinue this valuable benefit. However, due to these substantially higher costs associated with transportation, we are establishing a minimum order size requirement for free delivery.
Effective August 4th, orders less than $25 will still be delivered next day, but will incur a modest handling charge of $3. Orders $25 and higher will continue to be delivered free of charge next day. We regret the need to implement this change, but hope that you understand our goal is to continue providing a premier level of service supported by competitive pricing to all of our valued customers.
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for being a valued customer. |
