Every small business owner knows that office supplies are a necessary expense, but many don't realize just how much money they're leaving on the table with inefficient purchasing strategies. At Mighty, we've partnered with Quill to help businesses like yours unlock significant savings on everything from pens and paper to technology and furniture.

The Real Cost of Office Supply Inefficiency

Most small businesses approach office supply purchasing reactively - buying what they need when they run out, often at retail prices. This approach can cost companies 20-30% more than strategic purchasing methods. Here's where those hidden costs accumulate:

• Emergency purchases at premium prices - When you're out of printer toner on deadline day, you'll pay whatever it costs
• Missed volume discounts - Small individual orders don't qualify for bulk pricing
• Time waste on price comparison - Staff spending hours researching the best deals
• Inconsistent vendor relationships - No leverage for negotiations or special pricing

How Mighty's Quill Partnership Changes the Game

Through our partnership with Quill, Mighty members gain access to:

• Pre-negotiated volume pricing on over 100,000 products
• Free next-day delivery on orders over $45
• Dedicated account management for personalized service
• Automated reordering systems to prevent supply shortages
• Detailed spending analytics to optimize your purchasing patterns

Real-World Savings in Action

One of our member companies, a 25-person marketing agency, reduced their office supply costs by 35% in their first year using Mighty's Quill partnership. They saved over $3,200 annually while improving their ordering efficiency and never running out of essential supplies again.

The key was moving from reactive purchasing to strategic planning. By analyzing their historical usage patterns and setting up automated reordering, they eliminated emergency purchases and maximized volume discounts.
