labeling and storing supplies and products efficiently

Few things waste more time and money than

not having a good control over your

inventory.

If you do not know what supplies

and products you possess,

you squander time

looking for items;

and you throw away

money by buying things

you already own.

Take the time to streamline your business by

labeling your inventory properly, so that you can

make the best use of your supplies.

The immediate benefit of getting organized is

that it gives you an advantage over your

competitors.

If you reduce how much it costs you to use a

product, you will realize a greater profit.

Conduct a thorough review of all of your

materials.

This may seem like a tedious task, but it is an

invaluable way of learning what you have,

assessing the general condition of the items,

and figuring out what you need.

Every type of business can get something out

of this activity.

Any type of supply that you use to conduct

business is worth categorizing.

You may need to store office supplies, such

as, paper products, printer ink, pens, tape and

digital media.

Additionally, you may need to store items that

you distribute to customers, such as brochures

or samples.

The goal of an efficient storage system is to be

able to put your hand on any paper, product

or supply that you need to complete a sale

with ease.

Obviously, it is important to use the right form,

product or supply for every task.

If one of your customer service representatives

fills out the wrong form to document a

customer complaint -

- the information may be lost which prevents

you from following up on the incident.

In turn, you risk losing the customer along with

your company's credibility.

These kinds of missteps are more likely to

happen if you do not label your supplies

clearly.

By using magnetic label holders on metal

shelves, you can lay out the forms your staff

needs where they can grab them quickly.

You will make fewer mistakes while getting

more work done faster.

One of the key ways to become more

competitive is to be able to adapt quickly to

changing conditions.

If you have a seasonal business, it makes

sense to keep the items for the current season

where they are easy to access.

Whether you are using different forms to

interact with different contractors or if you

have a separate line of products that you

keep in storage lockers -

- moving magnetic label holders to a different

location is a simple process.

Going beyond performing business tasks,

good organization can help you maintain a

smooth running office.

While satisfying your daily coffee fix may not

make the difference between winning or

losing a sale -

- placing your coffee supplies in canisters with

magnetic label holders, keeps the items fresh,

clean and convenient to use.

If you don't keep stirrers, sugar, creamers and

coffee grounds where you need it and in a

condition that you will want to use it -

- you will probably just end up buying

expensive coffee from a local shop and lose

any cost-saving by having an in-house supply.

Use every opportunity to label items and store

them efficiently to create a productive and

profitable environment.

Utilizing magnetic label holders can make

your inventory chores easier.

Easily clinging to any metal surface, they can

be easily moved and contents changed out

in seconds.

Be sure the magnetic label holders you buy

are strong vinyl with a full magnetic backing.
