Frequently Asked Questions about our membership business discounts, promotional codes, and discount coupons
What is Allied Business Network?
Allied Business Network
(ABN) is a business-to-business buying group consisting of more
than 13,000 member businesses located throughout the
United States. ABN uses the combined purchasing power of our members
to negotiate prices with national suppliers to get our members
the best discounts available.
We are able to offer savings, discounts,
and coupon codes because collectively the ABN buying group purchases
large quantities from our suppliers (even though the group is
made up of mostly small businesses, entrepreneurs, and business
owners). So our members receive the same savings and discounts
- via promotional coupon, promo codes, discount codes, or business
accounts -- often awarded to larger-sized companies because of
their massive orders. These are companies that your business probably
already buys from: Office Depot, 4imprint, UPS, FedEx Kinko's,
etc.
ABN does not get involved in a
member's sales process. Our members deal directly with the supplier/vendor
they are purchasing from. Members need only use special
ABN discount codes and promotional codes and/or sign up with each
vendor/supplier through ABN to receive the discounts.
ABN provides discounts
on products and services businesses use daily: office
supplies, car rentals, promotional items, shipping, computers,
business forms, printing, travel, payroll, express delivery, and
other corporate services from national companies. ABN uses national
suppliers/vendors that are familiar to and trusted by our members.
There is no cost to be
an ABN Member, and no minimum purchase is required. Members
may receive a call, email, or letter from one of our vendors from
time to time. You can opt out of the buying group at anytime,
and you can opt to not receive any correspondence and still remain
a member.
How Does ABNSave Help My Company Save Money?
Any business,
entrepreneur, or employee can use the purchasing power of group
buying, including savings codes and promotional discount coupons
to help save their company money. Membership is completely free,
and there are no minimum purchases required to become a member.
When you purchase
from our national list of vendors by using an ABN account or ABN
discount code / coupon, you will receive discounts ranging between
5% and 85%. Some vendors, like Office Depot, have a core list
of items that are up to 85% off the list price. Other vendors,
like FedEx Kinko's have a set discount of 15% on printing & copying.
Every
vendor offers special discounts or promotional codes to ABN members
that you will not find elsewhere. In addition, ABN members
also receive promotions and special coupons from the roster of
national suppliers/vendors.
Each vendor
requires different methods of purchasing. Most vendors use a special
ABN discount code that you will find on each vendor's ABN webpage.
Go to www.abnsave.com
to access all vendors/suppliers and discount codes. Clicking on
each vendor/supplier logo will take you to the ABN page with ordering
information.
Employees of member companies are
encouraged to use ABN and are eligible to receive discounts for
personal use.
Is there a fee for membership?
No fees! Membership to ABN is FREE.
There are never any fees or minimum purchase requirements, only
savings. ABN is reimbursed directly from the suppliers/vendors
which never impacts your pricing or quality of products or services.
Sign up: it's
free.
Become
a member and start seeing the discounts today. Once you become
a member, you may receive a welcome call and a welcome packet
and email from ABN. As soon as you sign-up, you are able to use
promotional ABN discount and promo codes when purchasing through
our vendors.
You buy directly from the vendor,
not through ABN, but you must use the ABN
discount codes to get the discounts.
Why Does ABN
Need My Contact Information?
When you become a member, ABN requests
that you provide us with some basic information about your business
so you can receive special coupons, discounts and any additional
ABN benefits. After your company is registered with ABN, your
company is eligible to receive discounts from ABN's national roster
of suppliers/vendors.
Providing ABN with your email, address, phone #, or fax is required
in order for you to sign up for our program. We will never sell
this information, or give it to any company outside of the ABN
network and you can request removal at anytime, and still
be eligible for savings and discounts -- and remain an ABN member.
Please read our privacy
policy for more information.
