Those of you who work in an office environment are sure to be at least vaguely acquainted with the regularity with which stocks of office supplies and stationery need to be replenished. In the course of performing daily tasks and duties, consumables such as copier paper, printer ink cartridges and notepads are quickly used up and failure to have the necessary reserves ready can severely impact upon productivity.

Although far from the most exciting of tasks; ordering office supplies is an essential component of maintaining an efficient and functional office environment. Often the responsibility of the Office Manager (alongside a world of other pressing duties) the key to successful and cost-effective office supplies maintenance and replenishment is a thorough understanding of the rate at which different items are depleted alongside a quick and easy means of re-stocking.

Whilst the understanding of an organisation’s office supplies usage is something which can only really be acquired over time - streamlining and getting maximum value during the course of the re-ordering process is an incredible simple activity. In terms of both speeding up ordering and getting the best value on your purchases, setting up a business account or credit account with a specialist office supplies retailer can have an incredible impact.

By setting up an office supplies business account you essentially bypass the general issues encountered when ordering online or by mail order. You have your own dedicated account manager who is well acquainted with your requirements and also able to provide accurate delivery timescales. In addition to a high level of customer service, as an account holding customer your company benefit financially on two fronts – payment by invoice to aid cash flow and even more competitive pricing than is available to non-account holders.

In addition to making long-term financial sense, there are also often immediate cash benefits to setting up a credit or business account for office equipment purchases. Money off incentives, cash-back schemes and general offers can be found which reduce the overall cost of your first order (or on occasion first few orders). Seeing as you will ultimately be paying less than most for office supplies for the life of your business account – this front-end saving is simply an extra bonus as opposed to a means of snaring new customers.

As well as sourcing your stationery and office equipment at the lowest available price it is also vitally important to ensure that your consumables are being economically and sensibly used. The environmental impact of your office supplies usage is a vitally important factor to consider – ensure that only documents which need to be printed are printed and also that general resource wastage is minimalised. Cutting out waste not only benefits the earth but also reduces the quantity of paper, ink cartridges and general supplies which need to be purchased.

 

We’d like to wish all of our customers and website visitors a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the entire team here at DG Office Supplies

It’s been a great year for us, with new faces joining our ranks and plenty of new business coming on board. We hope that you too have fond recollections of 2010 and go on to have a healthy, safe and prosperous 2011.

Although we’re very much looking forward to a few days with the family and stockings full of festive cheer; it’s  the New Year that we’re really excited about, with new services and opportunities due to be unveiled in the coming months.

Merry Christmas and we hope to hear from you in the New Year!

It may seem a little early to be considering these things...but preparation is key and Christmas decorations are rapidly springing up left, right and centre. Christmas gifts for friends and family aren’t generally too hard to source, provided you’ve paid attention to their subtle hints during the course of the year and have a vague understanding of their hobbies and interests. The Christmas Gift for the Boss Dilemma however is somewhat less ‘cut and dry’. If your company have a well documented ‘no gifts policy’ then you can stop reading- abiding by company policy is bound to be a sure-fire hit with the boss. Similarly, a ‘Secret Santa’ system which is inclusive of all levels of staff will get you off the hook...unless of course you end up with the boss as your gift recipient – in which case skip a paragraph.

Those of you who are still unsure as to whether you should buy a gift for your superior- it’s time to consider a few factors. Firstly, do you think they’ll expect one? This question is simple enough, and the resolution is equally straight-forward: if the answer is yes then you should most certainly get them something, if the answer is no then you should probably get them something...particularly if there is a potential pay rise or promotion on the horizon. In short, unless your boss or activity within the company has explicitly suggested that you don’t need to furnish them with a festive treat- then you’d best crack on with the shopping!

So, having established that it would probably be beneficial to get your boss a gift, it’s time to actually do the deed. With little or nothing to go on in terms of what they actually like ‘in real life’ this can be a testing challenge (think psychometric test combined with performing a cartwheel). This obstacle is however incredibly easy to overcome by simply ignoring their social life altogether and focussing on something they can use in their office. Whether that is an elegant pen- which makes them fondly recall your taste and generosity every time they sign a cheque, a digital photo frame – which allows them to cast the occasional loving gaze over snaps of the family whilst ‘pulling an all-nighter’ or simply a decent bottle of scotch- with which to celebrate your promotion with you.

If any of these suggestions fall terribly flat (or fail to live up to the idealised imagery) then please don’t hold me accountable...you just need a more appreciative boss!

With digital communication quickly usurping conventional postal mail and faxing it is more often than not the case that any written communication we receive is more binary than it is tangible. Although this turn to the electronic may prevent future generations from finding caches of historical manuscripts in the centuries to come and similarly, the heart-strings are less likely to plucked by reading texts from a sweetheart than scented, hand-written notes: there is good to come out of this.

Email, text messaging, VOIP calling, social networking and instant messaging are increasingly sculpting the way in which we communicate with others. They are cheaper, faster and for the most part more convenient than conventional letter writing and posting or indeed faxing. More importantly in the grand scheme of things: they also minimise our reliance upon paper as a medium of communication; which can only be a good thing. Timber is not a limitless resource; the rapid decline in the presence of rainforest pays painful and poignant testament to this- as such it makes sense that a text message is considerably more ecology sound than a letter or indeed a hand delivered note.

Even books and newspapers are beginning to feel the pangs of competition from intangible alternatives. The E Book is gaining popularity, not least as a consequence of developments in e-reader technology and the considerable price cuts for these units which have accompanied the progression in innovation. In the modern day, it is even possible to read a book on your mobile phone. It is worth considering the environmental implications of this for a moment:

A book is written by an author and following negotiations, meetings and edits is finally sent to be printed. The printing of the book uses electricity to run the presses which in turn consume ink and paper at a rapid rate. The finished book goes on a journey from press to warehouse- by motor vehicle; from the publisher’s warehouse to the distributors warehouse= by motor vehicle, cargo ship or air freight; from the publisher’s warehouse to the stockist...I’m sure you can see the point here. Essentially a printed book has not only required the consumption of the materials that you hold in your hand but also travelled a great number of miles in reaching you. By comparison, an e book has travelled down a cable in electronic form in a matter of seconds- or in the case of an e book downloaded direct to a mobile phone- the intangible book has literally materialised on the screen from the sky.

In the light of all these considerations about just how much benefit digital communication and publishing has on the environment: I urge you to think twice before needlessly printing that email that you’ve already read on the screen.

If you do need to print then do so in an environmentally conscious manner, use recycled paper.
