1. What is Allied Business Network?

Allied Business Network (ABN) is a business-to-business buying group consisting of more than 20,000 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 business service and supply 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 coupons, 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, and more.

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.

2. How does ABN 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, ABN discount code, or 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 4imprint, have a set discount - 10% on promotional products.

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 ABN's Discount Directory 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.

3. Is there a fee to be a member or a minimum purchase amount?

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.

4. How do I sign-up for a free membership?

Become a member online or call (866) ABN-Save 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.

As a member, you buy directly from the vendor, not through ABN, but you must use the ABN discount codes to get the discounts.

5. 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.

6. What are the benefits of joining ABN?

1. SAVE MONEY
   Through business accounts, coupons, and discount codes, ABN members save an average of 10-20% on products and services every business utilizes daily. What would that amount save your company yearly in office supplies at Office Depot, UPS or CDW?

2. SAVE TIME
   You no longer have to waste time trying to get the best price. Your discounts have all been negotiated & we get the best deal for you.

3. DEAL DIRECT
   Order directly from the company you are purchasing from. There is no middleperson and you can still receive all the benefits of a national or corporate account.

4. EXCLUSIVE SPECIALS
   ABN members also receive special discounts, codes, coupons, and super buys from ABN suppliers.
