Better Than Coupons: Discount Office Supplies, Products & Furniture
Friday, February 3rd, 2012If you can’t get it for free, our motto is to help our members pay less through our pre-negotiated discounts. Sometimes, our partners want to offer us even DEEPER discounts through COUPONS! It’s like when we were younger. Our grandmother used to stuff a couple of dollars in our hand when we left her house. Then, when we got home, we found out that there was another dollar in our back pocket, which dear grandma put in there after she washed our clothes.
That was years ago, but today’s double discounts from our retailers and partners are just as real!
Save Today With Power Purchasing
Many online discount office supply and furniture sites offer codes that can be used online to trigger an additional discount during check out. What makes PowerPurchasingnow.com different? We don’t offer our codes to everyone, and therefore, can offer our members discounts on products that aren’t available to any web surfer.
Large coupon companies offer discounts on products such as office supplies. These large coupon code suppliers rank their coupons by their rate of success. Some of their coupons don’t work for some people. Some coupons have expired or are available to certain customers. The difference with PowerPurchasingnow.com coupons is that they are hand selected and monitored for effective use by our staff and offered ONLY to our over 70,000 members (and growing!).
We at PowerPurchasingnow.com DO NOT SELL YOUR INFORMATION! And we certainly do not download spam, spyware, or malware to your computer. The discounts that we offer and the coupons that compound our deeply discounted rates with our retailers are all that you’re ever going to receive from us (other than positivity and great customer service!). We offer discounts and promo codes that are available at stores such as Office Depot® online and at their brick and mortar store. So, why take risks with other online coupons which may offer you unreliable and inconsistent deals, when you can have consistently lower prices on products you need and the compounding benefits of coupons to boot.
The choice is clear: join our membership today and keep more of your money where it belongs – in your wallet!

Pay Less: Discount Office Furniture
Thursday, December 22nd, 2011Every business owner knows that you have to have office furniture. What they may not know is that you don’t have to break the bank to purchase it.
There’s a DISCOUNT for that.
PowerPurchasingNOW.com offers premium executive office furniture at very low prices by pre-negotiating deep discounts with national retailers, such as Office Depot. As a member of our Group Buying Cooperative, you will have access to all the same quality, variety, and styles of furniture that you want for your business – the only difference is that it will cost you less!
For those of us who have gone through starting a business, purchasing office furniture can be one of the most widely overlooked – though crucial – responsibilities. Discount Desks, Chairs, Workstations, Lighting, Filing Cabinets, Bookcases, Chair and Floor Mats, Décor and Wall Accessories, and even Carts and Stands need to be carefully evaluated for purpose and good fit. You have to purchase furniture that fits into your predetermined office workflow, fitting systemically, but without clashing. And, just because this discount office furniture is less expensive, don’t be fooled – you will not be settling on less quality and attractiveness – just less money out of your wallet!
Office furniture becomes an extension of you – of your services, product, and brand. Office furniture must be something you’re proud to show your customers and clients. The best part of being a member of PowerPurchasingNow.com is that you can focus on these important decisions, knowing that the discounts on the office furniture you need have already been strongly negotiated to your advantage.

Small Business Deals – Think Like the BIG GUYS!
Monday, December 19th, 2011One of the challenges unique to today’s small business owners is stagnation in what we might refer to as “small mindedness”. Now, this is different than “narrow-mindedness” and is not meant to be offensive. What “small mindedness” means is that you continue to think like a very small business even after there are ways and ideas presented to you in which your business can reap benefits and grow. By continuing to think of your small business in terms of size, you may be psychologically, and unwittingly, perpetuating the concept even after you’ve gained market share and are growing. Whatever the size of your business, PowerPurchasingNow.com will serve as a critical key to unlocking your business potential that saves you money on a BIG scale.
Conglomerate purchasing is not something new. There have been cooperatives in existence since the foundation of this country. While there are laws that protect consumers from monopolies, there are no laws (at least that we are aware of) that protect businesses from the power of joining together to barter for lower prices. The reality of the business world is that businesses will charge whatever the customer is willing to pay. Unfortunately consumers follow the mainstream pressures of advertisers to pay much more than a product or service is worth. This gives giant retailers the ability to keep their rates artificially high.
Power Purchasing Can Help You Save
What PowerPurchasingNow.com does is upend that concept by providing a counterpoint to those consumers who CONTINUE to spend more. Our members join us to level the playing field for small business owners. The result is that we are able to continue to provide spectacular deals for savvy small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Anita Campbell of Small Business Trends wrote an exceptional article about ways a small business owner can search for and obtain special deals and discounts on purchases you make for your business. This was written with the individual small business doing the footwork to find savings, discounts, and small business deals.
What PowerPurchasingNow.com does is that it takes the leg work out of searching for elusive discounts that may or may not be available. You save time and money (time that you spend driving around or searching online is still time you could have spent doing other things that grow your business). You could spend time researching and searching for small business deals, or you could join free and let PowerPurchasingNow.com work for you!
So, put the purchasing weight of PowerPurchasingNow.com, the trusted name in Small Business Procurement Advocacy, to work for you and contact us today. There is no obligation and we are certain that our pre-negotiated terms will be less than you would pay if you were to purchase them from the BIG GUYS without us. There is strength in numbers.

Discount Office Supply Items – A Drink Best Served Low-Priced!
Friday, December 16th, 2011Staples. Tape. Post-it® Notes. Thumb Tacks.
Question: What do these things have in common? Answer: nothing, really, except that you use them in your business and you’re probably paying too much for them. These office items aren’t something that you write home about either. You have to buy them – you don’t want to buy them.
Group Buying SAVES
PowerPurchasingNow.com, the online leader in leveraged group discounts for office items, brings economy and affordability to your fingertips. It’s like having a cadre of well-dressed lawyers who have already settled the case out of court for an undisclosed sum pre-negotiate savings for you on discount office items. You’re the client – you win the savings and receive the discounts as your settlement.
The dedicated, customer-centric Team at PowerPurchasingNow.com lives and breathes to save their members money: they get all worked up about lowering prices for floor cleaner and mops. They are a group of people that can’t stand paying more. Their members agreed with them. The rest is history.
Another item you could be saving on: coffee!
Discount office items are typically things you can’t plan on buying. Can you plan for how many rolls of Charmin® you’ll go through? Maybe you can. But you’ll probably run out of the other little known, less glamorous items at different rates. So, business owners are hard pressed to buy in bulk and save on these items. Many small businesses don’t have the space to dedicate to masses of office items. And, the problem is compounded because each discount office item serves a unique purpose.
You can’t substitute Post-it® notes for staples, and you definitely don’t want to use thumb tacks instead of soft Cottonelle® or plush Kleenex®!
Yikes! Okay, let’s go back above the belt and below the nose and focus on the heart of the matter:
Discounts. Discounts. And, yes, MORE DISCOUNTS! That’s what makes PowerPurchasingNow.com the leader in the savings game.

How To Go Green Tip #7: Use Energy Star Products
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011
Energy Star© will help you more easily navigate your path to “green-dom”! It will help you distinguish products that are truly energy efficient, thus conserving valuable resources and saving you money.
Energy Star© is an international standard for energy efficient consumer products originated in the United States of America. The Energy Star© program was created in the early 1990s. It is a joint program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Energy that helps us reduce energy consumption, protect the environment, and save money through energy efficient products and practices. There are many devices which carry the Energy Star logo, such as:
- Computer products and peripherals
- Kitchen appliances
- Buildings
- Other products
These products generally use 20-30% LESS energy than is required by federal standards. Energy efficient choices can save you about a third on your energy bill, and can also reduce about this much on greenhouse gas emissions. These products do not sacrifice features, style or comfort.
Here are some ways you can use Energy Star to help with your Green initiative for your home:
- If you are looking for new household products, look for ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR©. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.
- If looking for a new home, look for one that has earned the ENERGY STAR©.
- If you’re looking to make larger improvements to your home, EPA offers tools and resources to help you plan and undertake projects to reduce your energy bills and improve home comfort.
For your business:
EPA provides an innovative energy performance rating system which businesses have already used for more than 130,000 buildings across the country. EPA also recognizes top performing buildings with the ENERGY STAR©.
It’s important to shop for Energy Star© certified products, and you can SAVE on these items with Power Purchasing! With your free, customized savings program, you can take advantage of great deals and discounts from top retailers. We’ve negotiated permanent deals with Office Depot©, ADP©, FirstData©, and more!

How To Go Green Tip #6: Use Smart Power Strips
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011
The US Department of Energy states that 75% of electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products were turned off. You can save energy and money by unplugging the electronics completely when they’re not in use. Or, consider purchasing smart power strips to turn off electronics, which can also help you be green and save green!
Did you know that computer peripherals, like printers and scanners, continue to use energy, even after you turn them off? It’s called idle current, and whether or not you’re using your peripherals, you’re still paying money and using energy to power them.
Ideally, you should unplug these when they’re not in use. However, anyone who has used a power strip for a cubicle or home office is aware of the tangle of wires it can create. Sometimes, it is not so easy to just unplug some of these computer accessories, (i.e. printers and scanners) but leave others, such as a router, plugged in. Smart power strips can help stop the idle current drawn from your outlets when electronics aren’t in use. So, how does it do this?
Basically, with certain marked outlets, it monitors power consumption and can sense the difference between when computers and other devices are on or off. Upon figuring this out, it shuts off the power, eliminating the idle current drawn from them.
If you leave everything on:
By using a simple computer script combined with the Smart Strip Power Strip in an office environment where the computers are left on 24/7, the computer would shut off at the end of the day or if it is not used for 1 hour (user/administer programmable). Then, the computer and its peripherals would be on only 9 hours, 5 days a week. This results in a 73% power savings on the power used by the office computer system.
If you leave just your peripherals on:
Most computer systems now have at least a monitor, scanner, printer, DSL/Cable modem and a USB hub. While the computer is turned off, each peripheral still draws an idle current of 50 mA to 400 mA per hour. Multiply that by the number of peripherals you have, and the number of hours you leave them plugged in (usually 24/7), and you can see how that ‘idle current’ can really add up on your bill! Smart power strips can eliminate this. Even if you shut everything off each day, you may still appreciate the benefits from using a smart power strip, such as:
- No need to wait for the computer to turn off.
- No need to turn off your power strip.
- All peripherals that do not have a power switch can be easily, automatically turned off.
- No leakage current. Even if the device that they are attached to is turned off, a transformer has a leakage current of more than 4 watts, while a smart power strip prevents any leakage.10 Ways to Go Green While Saving Green 231×300 #6 Use Smart Power Strips to Prevent Idle Current
In addition to using smart power strips to save you money on your electrical bill, we will teach you ways in which you can purchase energy efficient technology products that have earned the Energy Star Certification in our next blog post.

How To Go Green Tip #5: Switch to Fluorescent Lights
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011
The best way to save energy and money is to turn off the lights! However, if you’re not a fan of working in the dark, here’s a way to reduce your use of energy and save money at the same time.
Switch to compact fluorescent lights. They use two-thirds the amount of energy as regular bulbs and they last up to 10 times longer. It’s recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency!
How Does a Fluorescent Light Save Money?
A “normal light bulb”, also known as an incandescent light bulb, has a very thin tungsten filament inside a glass sphere. It comes in sizes like “60 watt,” “75 watt,” “100 watt”, etc.
Basically, electricity runs through the filament of the bulb. Because the filament is so thin, it offers resistance to the electricity, and this resistance turns electrical energy into heat. The heat is enough to make the filament white hot, and the “white” part is light. The filament glows because of the heat — in other words, it “incandesces”.
With incandescent light bulbs, the heat wastes a lot of electricity. Heat is not light, and the purpose of the light bulb is light, so all of the energy spent creating heat is a waste. Incandescent bulbs are therefore very inefficient. They produce perhaps 15 “lumens” (a measurement of light) per watt of input.
Fluorescent lights use a completely different method to produce light. There are electrodes at both ends of a fluorescent tube and a gas containing argon and mercury vapor within the tube. The electrons interact with mercury vapor atoms floating inside the bulb.The mercury atoms become excited, and when they return to an unexcited state they release photons of light in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
These ultraviolet photons collide with the phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb, and the phosphor creates visible light.
The phosphor fluoresces to produce light.
Because a fluorescent bulb produces less heat, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt! This makes fluorescent lights four to six times more efficient than incandescent lights. Therefore, less energy is used, so you conserve environmental resources and you save money on your electric bill!

How To Go Green Tip #4: Recycle Toner Cartridges
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011Approximately 97% of the combined components in toners (plastic, metal, rubber, paper, foam, and toner) can be recycled. Now, here’s the scary part…
If toners are NOT recycled, the plastic, made of engineering- grade polymers, takes at least 1,000 years to decompose!
Currently, as many as 60 million “all-in-one” toner cartridges are bought annually in the U.S. Worldwide, 150 million per year. Combine that with 400 million inkjet cartridges and you can begin to imagine the amount of waste generated from cartridges that don’t get recycled.
Start a Going Green Trend!
Unfortunately, only 25% of toner cartridges purchased are getting recycled and remanufactured. So, it’s time to start a trend and lead by example!
When you recycle toner cartridges, you are helping to keep non-biodegradable material, such as plastic, steel, aluminum, and rubber out of landfills. You are also conserving the equivalent of three quarts of oil per cartridge!
Plastic is an environmental hazard and its use should be minimized. It takes many years to decompose and is already an environmental concern in many countries. The recycling of toner cartridges will save thousands of tons of metal and plastic from getting into landfills.
Here is the best part: Office Depot provides FREE return boxes for your empty cartridges and picks them up from your office. Furthermore, for every empty toner/ink cartridge returned to an Office Depot store, you receive a $2 credit to your Rewards Card which can be used like cash when you shop at the store or online. How simple is that to do the right thing?
Should you decide to return your toner cartridges to an Office Depot Store, don’t forget to bring your Power Purchasing Card. This card will enable you to get unbeatable savings when shopping in-store! Want to start saving today? Sign up with Power Purchasing today and receive FREE discounts all year long!
