Like many business owners, you're
probably looking to cut operations costs whenever possible. Don't
fret! You can save big on your business with a few simple discount
tips and tricks:
1. Use discount coupons
and promotional codes whenever possible. No matter
what you're buying – international shipping, office supplies,
flowers, promotional novelty items, or copying services –
joining Allied Business Network's discount program ensures that
you will be able to save.
Some of our participants in
the business discounts program offer promotional codes in combination
or separately from discount coupons that afford great savings.
Depending upon the business, you can redeem coupons, combine
promotional codes with in-store discount coupons, or simply
mention our name as though it were a promotional code to see
the savings.
2. Buy in bulk.
No matter what you need for your business, you are sure to save
more money by buying in larger amounts. In fact, many items
are discounted in bulk simply because it costs the manufacturer
less to sell you a bunch than to sell you just one item.
Promotional products, especially,
are cheaper when purchased in bulk. So if you're constantly
in need of office gifts for your staff, or branded items to
take to meetings, you might want to save money – and time
– and buy a bunch.
3. Use discounted technology equipment and outsourced
IT services for bigger savings. ABN Save, by virtue
of our partnership with CDW,
makes these kinds of savings easy and fun. You can use discount
coupon -like promotional codes to buy monitors, printers, network
cards, cables, and more, all at prices that have been slashed.
Outsourced IT services are a
great way to save big. You won't spend money paying for staff
benefits, overtime, or vacation because one call to CDW
provides solutions for all of your IT needs. Take advantage
of great savings and discounts!
4. Set up a barter system with your professionals.
You can shave big money off of legal fees, tax preparation services,
food vendors, or even custodial staff by trading your services
or goods for some of theirs. Bonus: You're giving your business
free word-of-mouth advertising!
5. Get dirt-cheap
business paper products. Using discount coupons and
promo codes at a retailer like FedEx-Kinko's
or VistaPrint
enables you to save big bucks on business cards, customized
shipping labels, self-inking stamps, stickers, and other items
that promote your business. Hot tip: put your URL on all your
promo items to easily up your Web site traffic.
