Reduce Your Office Supplies Expenses

Tighten Your Belt

Especially with the current state of the U.S. economy, now is the time to tighten your belt. Without writing a novel, here are a few things a small business can consider in this expense category.

• When was the last time you looked at the details in this account? It might shock you. You’ll certainly learn some things about how your organization runs.
• Have your staff look into less expensive vendors or buying in bulk.
• Reality is, when you focus on an area, everyone becomes more aware of their direct impact. For instance, you might begin to see more reuse and recycling of paper which reduces this expense. It also has an added benefit of helping to save the environment.
