What makes online stationery an obvious choice!

When it comes to office stationery, there are just so many suppliers to choose from that it becomes really difficult to determine the best.





So, our guess is you'd have probably checked a few websites and might have decided the products that you really think are good and have decided the look and feel of it. However, you might have noticed that essentially all the products are same except the look and feel. It is highly unlikely that a product can be completely distinguished on its features.

There is no denying that office Stationery is necessary and that too on a daily basis!  Pens, pencils, foot rulers, notepads, sticky notes, diaries, markers, paper weights, cutters, glue, paper folders, paper clips, pins and many others are office equipment that facilitates in a better working environment. Our world that is engaging way much faster on the online space has also emerged as a new market for business and shoppers to interact and grow exponentially. The ecommerce landscape which is a booming industry in India supports office stationery manufacturers and retailers to reach consumers directly. The office stationery online business is huge and recently has gained a lot of acceptance due to a number of offices, corporates, institutes, organizations etc. finding no time to go for traditional bulk buying. They rather find online bulk buying to be more cost & time effective.

Major of the office stationery manufacturers in India have set up their online stores in order to ease buying activities for businesses. But, how are they able to save costs on particulars? The fundamental theory in ecommerce is to save expenses on logistics and private retailers' cut and give the same advantage to online buyers. For e.g., a branded pencil box that has 10 pencils (let's take Apsara) is sold for 44 rupees, the same can be bought for 40 rupees online. So, you see! The savings are directly enjoyed by the consumers and hence they are encouraged to buy more.

Regardless to the size of your office, being in charge of identifying, evaluating and purchasing office stationery requires a lot of analysis and management. Usually, businesses prefer to buy in bulk after calculating their average use for the last few months and it is really a good idea to do so, as it ensures that you have sufficient materials avoiding last minute hassles. Further, when it comes to identifying essential stationery, you should take few elements into consideration such as the kind of businesses you're in; you may not require beautiful looking office diaries, paint brushes, fancy looking items such as flex-pencils, erasers, stamps, color pencils, craft items etc. Also, you should take care that you are not buying into cheap & ineffective items that will run up costs in the long time. Focus on quality rather than the quantity as you're already enjoying the benefits of shopping online.


Finally, businesses should cautiously use their resources whether they are office stationery or use of water & electricity. When a business encourages its employees to save on materials, it is ultimately moving measures to curb expenditure.
