August 29, 2005—Sams Club, the nation’s largest warehouse store, has deployed a new retail strategy for streamlining small business purchases by launching a new office products catalog to members—both online and in hardcopy.
Available in-club or online, the new office products catalog offers access to thousands of items—rom paper clips to power supplies, glue sticks to stack chairs, and credenzas to corkboards—at the fingertips of small business owners and managers looking to cut operating costs and improve the ordering process of office supplies, the company says.
This new retail strategy, says the company, not only boosts service to small business owners/managers but challenges and streamlines the more traditional offerings of competitors in the office products marketplace.
Instead of struggling with multiple suppliers, members can easily take care of their office products ordering needs at one online location. The new expanded online assortment can be ordered by 3:00 p.m. and delivered to most business locations the following day, sayst he company. Members can also order online and pick up at their local Sams Club. Orders placed by 5 p.m. will be available for pick up beginning at 7 the next morning.
