Office Supply
Fortunately, office
supplies are not a major expense in our offices. Despite this, when you
follow the rule of saving a dollar at a time you can save in this area; even
though the amount may seem small, it will add up when
combined with other savings.
Shopping around for
office products can be extremely time-consuming. You can use the same
methods I showed you for saving on
Dental Supplies.
Use a catalog that you
make most of your purchases from as your base; then find a staff member who
understands money and offer them half of the savings they find as a bonus.
You will save some
money, and they will have some extra money (without an increase in their
salary), which means they are getting a raise without any increase in your
overhead! In actuality, they are getting a raise by saving for you on
overhead!
The average cost of
office supplies for an office is around $2,000 to $3,000 a month. A 10%
saving means an extra one to two thousand dollars for you a year, and the same
amount for your staff. If nothing else, they will love the extra money.
