While it is generally an accepted fact that buying in bulk can save your company money, many businesses don’t consider the other benefits that come with large purchasing.
It stops impulse buying
When you purchase in bulk, you are less likely to run out of supplies. Since you aren’t running out to the store, you are less likely to impulse buy. It’s the age old saying: Out of sight, out of mind.
It’s good for the environment
When you make a large order, that order can usually be fulfilled in one delivery trip. This creates less pollution to the environment. The more items you buy, the less filler (think packing peanuts, stretch film or bubble wrap) you will find in your packages. A good example of this is a jumbo roll of towels. Instead of 12 products being individually-wrapped, you have one large one.
It helps you plan
When you pay for everything up front, you have more control over your budget. Your Garvey’s representative can also adjust quantities based on what you overuse or underuse. This helps you plan for years to come!
