Admittedly I’ve been a negligent blogger.   But in 2010 I’m determined to blog with a vengeance.   So bear with me until this resolution kicks in.  I will reiterate what was written months ago…that we are, as I type this, constructing the new version of OfficeBundle.com that will offer you, the office supply purchaser, a unique yet powerful way to order your much needed supplies.  The new version is going to be cleaner, void of needless clutter, and will give you great control over your account and reward points.  Aw yes, the reward points…that cool little feature that allows our customers to earn something of actual value.  Sure we could send you another dozen pen free when you buy 10 dozen or we could send you a gift card to Target and allow you to buy what you want.  Which do you prefer?

Yes, we’ve been working on this site for a  while but and the launch has been pushed back a few times, but the end product will be worth it.   We are convinced that our clients are among the savviest in our industry.  Why do we say that?  Because they know what they need, they know what they want, they want to order and go without the need of slide show highlighting a paper special.    Our buyers want simplicity, and relief from this ordering responsibility so they can concentrate on more crucial matters in the office.  That’s our audience.  That’s our client.  Are you like this?  If so, come on in.  If not, don’t knock us to you try us to quote some unnamed elementary school teacher in some unknown part of the world.

Read all about us, hang with us, and soon the site will evolve and continue to  evolve into a wonderful tool created to enhance your efficiency.    Is that a played piece of corporate jargon?  Perhaps, but eventually someone has to mean it.

Whenever I find a gift card give away from a top manufacturer, I share it with you.  For the life of me, I don’t understand why anyone would fail to take advantage  of these offers.  Cardinal offers you a variety of binders beyond the generic that is perfect for materials going out to clients or used in training situations.  Save the day to day Often times it involves a simple purchase of an item(s) that you would use anyway.  So here we go again…let’s see just how many savvy buyers we really have.   With the holidays nipping at our heals, any chance to get a little something extra surely is welcomed.  Use the card, give it as a gift, or use it around the office.  Did you really need me to tell you that?   Most of use remain concerned about the state of our economy.   All we can do is continue to work hard and do the right thing until this thing eventually turns around for the better.  That said, control those things you can.   This applies to office supplies as well.  Don’t spend a nickel more than you need to,  as I’ve preached for years now, don’t assume that an Office Depot or a Staples is offering you the best prices.  Here at OfficeBundle.com, you’ll get the lowest price every time…and as the new version of our site moves into its final stages, the control you’ll enjoy is unmatched.  Discount office supplies are just the beginning.

It’s that time again when the office supply industry puts its considerable weight behind the noteworthy cause of Breast Cancer Awareness.  I know there are ribbons for everything these days but the pink ribbon is perhaps the most recognizable.  This is because this insidious form of cancer not only impacts most severely those closest to us, but it also represents true optimism.  This cancer can be contained.  Recovery is possible.  A cure is within reach.  As such, continuous focus on this is a priority.

As a measurable means of contribution, some of the top manufacturers in our industry have created special pink products that not only demonstrate your support but directly contributes to the cause.    Be it a pink pad, pink sticky notes, a pink computer mouse, pink pens, etc.,  real dollars go directly to ongoing research.    These fantastic manufacturers have made donating to the cause possible for everyone….one nickle at a time.

From someone who has been directly impacted by the destructive nature this awful disease., your help even in the most simplistic manner really does help.  Keep it up, as you help to make a  real difference.

There’s only one way to have the coolest cubicle on the floor.  It’s not by having an almost but not quite witty poster.  It’s not even by having a secret stash of junk food that you occasionally share in a veiled  attempt to wing office friends.  No, having the coolest cubicle, the kind that people lean on when they talk about how hot and/ or cold it is outside can only come by having the right supplies.  How did I get to be so cool you may be wondering.  He’s one of my previously best held secrets…I had an awesome selection of clips.  everyone needs them and you can be the go to cubicle.   Then, if you had a door, it would be wide open  for forced awkward conversation with a person you would never associate with but not for a paycheck.  So you’re thinking, how do I get these aforementioned clips.  With this…..

SKU: ACC76233

Gaze with envy upon this massive barely legal collection of all the best clips.  what does this office tackle box include?  An huge assortment that would make anyone blush.  You can thank me later when what’s her name comes to borrow an blue binder clip.

Club Clip Pack, 80 Ideal, 45 Binder, 350 Jumbo Paper Clips, 150 Push Pins

We of course hope you would never need to use such a device as this but should you find yourself in such a precarious position where you are the last life line, how much better would it be to have this somewhere in the office?   Defibrillators are becoming more and more commonplace not only in office and restaurants but schools and retail stores as well.  I’m putting it here to 1) demonstrate that this life saving item represents the huge varitey and selection that you’lll find at OfficeBundle.com (not just pens, files, presentation binders and envelopes) and 2) to remind you that this item really should be an essential part of the workplace.  If you ever need it you’ll be incredibly thankful that you hadd the foresight to purchase this.

In our haste we forgot to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day.  Somehow I think your day was far from ruined without receiving  our well wishing and a standard American flag graphic.  Anyway, let us not forget what the 4th is all about.    The radical thinkers of 1776 penned their names and sacrificed their fame and fortune on an ideal that has so far withstood against all odds.   Here’s to another great 233 years and beyond.   Yes, times are tough.  And who is truly immune from the constant economic pressure let alone the threats from abroad?  The fact is we’re all affected.  The difference is we are not sitting on our hands.  We’re going to attack this recession rather than allow ourselves to become victims.  How?  We’re investing in an entirely new site.  OfficeBundle.com 2.0 (that won’t be the real name by the way) is quietly under construction during the quite of the night.  It promises to enhance your buying experience while maintaining the instant price comparison you have come to appreciate…especially during these trying times.   Our expected launch remains sometime in July.  But as the calendar refuses to stop for us, the big reveal may be pushed into August.    Even with this new version our plan is to continue to tweak the site until we create the most unique yet effective office supply platform around.  Despite all the competition, we know there is still room for considerable improvement.  There is still room for a company such as us to become distinctive in an otherwise crowded field.  What our customers want is a clean efficient manner in which to buy the supplies they need.  We know this because we asked.    We have no intention of being all things to all people.  Instead we’re perfectly content to have cornered the market on the most intelligent buyers out there.  How do we know?  One way…our return rate is exceptionally low.   Yes, some of us are humans but for our customers to time and again order their office supplies with 0 incident is just one way to gauge  their intelligence given the high of transactions and the breadth of products.   our site is a bit “different” but in our case different is good.  Our customers know what to do.  Surprisingly enough, most Internet shoppers spend about 2-3 seconds on a page.  Too much text and they’re gone.  Well, we’re happy to report that our customers have a high literacy rate.   They get it.

So why am I bragging about our customers?  The honest answer is that we are able to feed our children from the income they help us to produce and for that we are grateful…truly.   Come on over to OfficeBundle.com and leave those giant impersonal office supply companies behind.  Yes, we’re on the Internet but I can promise you that real experienced people are behind our company…we’re much more than a simple web address.   Try out OfficeBundle.com today and come back again for the big reveal of the new OfficeBundle.com coming soon to a computer near you.
