Its true....there are people out there who loooooove stationery and office supplies so much that its their actual hobby. It might be a fascination with all things pens or the fact that they collect paperclips, or maybe that they simply adore the smell of C4 envelopes....well whatever your office products fetish might be then now you can share your new passion with other like minded enthusiasts who not only have an online twitter presence but also meet socially on a regular basis to talk about stationery, look at stationery and even swap stationery - in fact last weekend saw the summer 'stationery club' picnic in Kensington Gardens. The truth is we at Officeprofiles also love stationery (there it is we confessed!!!) and its great to see we are not alone. Stationery club twitter pageStationery club blog

And it’s not all about buying stationery supplies!
Sustainability, green footprints, Eco friendly energy and fair trade purchasing – it can all get a little confusing can’t it? We are all supposed to be making strides to improve our Companies carbine footprints but how can we make sure we are not taking our eyes off the ball in one area whilst we concentrate on another? – It’s not always easy.
The team here at Officeprofiles have put together a few ideas and tips to help businesses both large and small to ‘look in the right places’ to begin to lower those areas that impact our global impact. 1) Lead by Example Before you can ask others to change their behaviour it’s only fair to make sure the way you conduct your environmental initiatives are correct and best practice for your office; make the

The team here at Officeprofiles think this is a fantastic idea as well a being a very green idea. Staff at Cambridge borough Council have been given a stationery and office products amnesty as part of the organisations cost cutting and Eco drives aimed at cutting the stationery budget. The amnesty brought some interesting items back to the stationery stores including a £50 printing calculator and a book rack worth more than £20 as well as the usual office bits including, binders, envelopes, dividers and spare reams of A4 copier paper. In fact the total amount of A4 paper returned to the stationery stores weighed over 3 tonnes which (if piled on top of each other) would have reached over 117 feet tall!! The scheme has been seen as a great success both in products returned and also in raising awareness of how the hidden costs of running and office can sometimes lie idle for years in workers drawers and cupboards.

The 4-Colours Bic Grip Pro, and the Atlantis Easy Glide 1.6 continue the BIC tradition of delivering high end, quality and reliable office products, at a price that can be accommodated by even the smallest office budget. The new products are expected to continue to help the BIC Company retain its market leadership in the ball pens category. The new 4-Colours Grip Pro is the latest addition to the iconic 4-Colour family, which first came onto the market 40 years ago, and will no doubt have a place in the hearts of all adults who were lucky enough to own an original as a child. The Grip Pro has a premium black and silver barrel with cushioned grip, and a ring on the top of the barrel which can be attached to a lanyard for easy transporting. The options of four colours means that office workers will never need to carry more than this one pen around, and with over 1,500m of smooth quick drying writing, it is better for the environment and can be refilled over and over. The new Atlantis Easy Glide 1.6 is

We have heard it all economy this economy that. Jobs lost, investment curved, no business lending and let’s be honest most of us have seen it have an effect in some way shape or form on our businesses, whether that’s customers that couldn’t continue trading, suppliers raising prices, competition becoming more aggressive or payments taking longer to get to us – apparently the Royal Mail take longer to deliver cheques in poor economies!
Office supplies dealers have seen more than most how the downturn in the economy can mean customers spending less regardless of the industry they are in. There is an apparent relation between the amount of office staff that a company has and the amount that a company needs to spend on office supplies and stationery to run efficiently and if offices are not as busy then the offices either loose staff or simply don’t have as much to do – a quiet office means a less consuming office.
With this is mind office products resellers face limited options to improve the situation; they can either raise their price to compensate the fall in volume, however in a competitive market place

Even the greatest football club on the planet cannot avoid the subject of saving money on office supplies.. FC Barcelona are currently in the running to sign Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, but if they are to get their man then the money men at the top within the Barca boardroom are insistent on making even the most basic of business savings to help fund the £35 million asking price.
The club (who are already 400 million in the RED) have taken the extra ordinary measures of cutting back on body guards, outside catering spend and now even photocopier use; a club spokesperson said 'We have even stopped making photocopies in colour and now do everything in black and white so that we save on the toner costs'
