Paying Too Much For Safety And Janitorial Supplies
I was shocked when I got the bill for the safety and janitorial supplies at my new store. I had just kept the same companies as the previous owners and never thought about how much it would cost. No wonder those people could not make this store work. They were paying way too much money for the janitorial and safety supplies for one thing.
I decided to pull out the vendor’s entire bill and start comparing them to other companies that sold the same thing. I could see one of the biggest problems, right off the bat. The old owners were using local mom and pop vendors that do not get the bulk prices to pass on to their customers. I know that most of the safety and janitorial supplies that are on the list can be bought even cheaper, at the local superstore.
If the local superstores can offer lower prices, then I knew that there would be a good warehouse company that delivers even better prices. I might have to use a different brand of safety or janitorial supplies, but that would not be an issue. I just really needed to get the prices down on all of my supplies, no matter where they were currently coming from.
