There are 3 more days until Christmas and I know you want nothing more than to read about office supplies right now.  But, you are going to have to be patient, for now, all of us at OfficeBundle.com would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.  Be safe, be happy, and be ready for what promises to be a crazy new year.  2009 may present all of us with unique challenges but let OfficeBundle.com offer your business an ounce of stability in what will be a volitile year.    Let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet.  Let’s enjoy the holiday and give thanks for what we have. 

It’s a sad sight to behold.  An employee of ”insert business name here” wrapped up in a blanket from home while sitting in their chair trying to work.  Sure some people are just more sensitive to the cold than others but to have to go to such extremes to stay warm is a real shame.  I’ve seen it many times and I don’t even in the “cold” part of the US.  But with snow in Las Vegas, perhaps the cold part will have to be redefined.  Anyway, small heaters placed under the desk is the sure fire way to keep that frozen co-worker comfortable without having to adjust the thermostat for the entire office… it’s the smart, inexpensive, and compastionate solution.  So rather than a box of short bread cookies, this Christmas demonstrate your concern, by getting your frost biiten employee or co-worker a heater.  Put an end to frozen toes.  Here’s a great example of the perfect heater.

2009 and byond your source for discount office supplies remains…OfficeBundle.com

It snowed this morning!  I mean it snowed.  we’re talking about 4 inches or so…huge for our part of the US.  In South Louisiana (Baton Rouge) it almost never snows let alone this early and in this amount.  So to us, it was fun.  yes, in an extremely rare occurrence we got the real white stuff deep enough to transform our neighborhoods and city into a New England township… if only for a few hours.  Unaccustomed to these conditions, school was canceled and businesses closed.  OfficeBundle.com was unfazed having passed its hurricane and now snow test.  We’re ready for it all.   Speaking of anything can happen, what was once an unbeatable retail giant in our industry continues to struggle.  What’s bad news for them is good news for you…provided you make the switch to OfficeBundle.com.

In other news, and perhaps no longer “breaking news” as the story is now on its second day, Office Depot announced that they will close at least 112 stores in early January 2009.  We hate to see anyone lose their job but the changes taking place with our large competitorswill assuredly impact you in some way in 2009.  For one, expect prices to go up  as they circle the wagons looking for greater profitability rather than constant expansion.  Expect service to suffer as they consolidate distribution centers and pull products from greater distances.  Expect delivery requirements to tighten as their delivery radius shrinks.  Expect savings at OfficeBundle.com, next day delivery, fantastic opportunities for rewards, and an ongoing commitment to offering you the best web tool for acquiring discount office supplies.

The holidays are here and with it comes frenzied shopping.   So often we find ourselves buying things that have a life span of 15 minutes.  So put down the faux crystal dolphin paper weights with a fiber optic light that shines through the bottom, don’t buy the heated foot massager that doesn’t work like it does on the box anyway.   Instead remember that as hard as it may be to accept, come December 26th and beyond, normal everyday life starts to emerge from out of the Christmas tree shadows.   As such, be practical yet thoughtful. 

The office supply world is full of great gift items for yourself and others.  Take for example the Fellowes shredder pictured below.  It’s ideal for what’s coming…the begining of a new year and our annula pledge to reorganize.  This is a great way to say ourt with the old and in with the new…by turning it into confetti!  Hey, throw your newly shredded old doucments into the air as part of your New Year’s Eve party for a cheap and liberating experience.

Surely, you know by now that OfficeBundle.com is your source for discount office supplies right?  If not, now you do.

It’s been a tough year for many of us and all signs point to tougher times.  The good news is that OfficeBundle.com is here to help control the damage. But, there still is so much to be thankful for.    We still live in the greatest country and we still have the freest society ever known to mankind.  Thanksgiving is yet another one of those all too few times a year that all us to gather with friends and family and just reflect on all that we have.  Forget about the things you don’t have.  There’s no sense in wasting your energy on the negative.  Take comfort in all the wonderful things and opportunities you have simply by virtue of being American.

I know, the Christmas rush is knocking or even banging on the door as it creeps into our lives earlier and earlier every year.  But take this moment to relax, give back, and yes, over eat.  Why not?  Eat, nap, eat, nap, we will be retuning to reality in just a few days anyway.  For me, it’s off to Tennessee to visit family.  A nice 8-9 hour drive with two young children…are you envious of that?

The only news to report on the ever volitile office suopply world, would be the struggles of Office Depot.  Their stock has been hammered, their CEO under fire, their pricing tactics to state governments questionable, and now, the word is that they are laying off between 20%-30% of thier outside sales team  The people who help generate the business are often the first ones cut in the crazy corporate world.  Forget the incompetence of the CEO, it’s the salespeople that must be punished.  Oh well, even from a competitor, I hate hearing about layoffs.  Didn’t want to end on a somber note, but the realities of business continue to dominate our my thoughts.

Getting back to point…Have  A Happy Thanksgiving!
