I don’t know about you, but I have a thing for office supplies – I love them, especially pens! But a person needs more than just pens to keep their office and business running smoothly and productive. If you are just starting out or you have been in this for a while, but are trying to get organized, here are some basics you will need for your office.
Holders – I have one for all those pretty pens. I also keep my box cutter in it with the blade covered. If you don’t have pens floating around your house, you may need to purchase some.
Paperclips – These are great for temporarily keeping things together. You can buy something nice to put them in, but if you are trying to save money, re-use something you already have. I use a pill bottle.
Stapler and staples – Great for keeping things together once they are ready to be filed. I also take mine to my parties and staple my business cards onto the receipt.
Folders/Envelopes – Use for storing various papers from bookkeeping or other paper you need to keep organized. These also work great for creating hostess and recruit packages.
Organizers – I mentioned last week that I have a three tier sorter that I use for my paperwork before I have dealt with it. This is not something you need but something that may come in handy. I believe I paid 3 bucks a tier at the dollar store.
Other items you may want – Binders, A marker, Rubber bands.
Some of these items are great to buy at your dollar store, but sometimes, you can actually get a better deal elsewhere. For instance, I got my envelopes at Costco for about $10 which makes them 5 cents each. At the dollar store, you get 10 for $1, which makes them 10 cents each.
