Cheap Office Supplies and More: 5 Places to Source Things You Need for Business


Is your office looking pretty bare these days?

Most companies are still battling with the typical image of what an office should be versus what young companies are doing to fight that stereotype in 2019.

Do you need desks, tables, and chairs? Or should you get bean bags, exercise balls, and ping pong tables? It’s tough to toe the line between “boring office” and “party office”.

It’s important for your company’s workspace to convey the image you want customers to have of you and to provide a comfortable location for a wide demographic of employees to work efficiently in.

It’s also important to have a resource for cheap office supplies so you aren’t spending more than you need to on things like paper, staplers, and printers. Keeping the budget small for the little things can keep you afloat during the tough times.

Here are 5 resources to help you choose your office supplies.

1. Quill.com

Quill.com is a one-stop-shop for discounted office supplies. Here, you can find pretty much any solution to your needs, and they do it all online so you don’t have to rent a truck to pick everything up.
