Why Do You Buy Janitorial Supplies at Retail?

When you buy janitorial supplies at retail prices, you're taking money out of your own pocket. It may be easier for small companies to buy a bottle of bleach here or a jug of dish washing soap there, but is that an efficient way to run a business?

Don't Just Buy When Needed

There aren't many businesses out there that wait until they are out of paper before buying a few more reams. Without that paper, it means decreased efficiency, sales, and money. Businesses would never think of waiting until they were out of printer ink before buying a new one. Why do that with cleaning supplies?

When businesses purchase janitorial supplies in bulk or at wholesale prices, they're getting a month worth or more at a time. When one bottle of soap runs out, you don't have to run to the store to pick up another.

Cost Savings

Sure, there may be more of an upfront cost for buying in bulk, but you'll be saving money in the long run. The business isn't only paying wholesale prices, but it's buying less frequently. That translates to more time to grow and expand the business.

You can't just figure in the amount of money saved, but time as well. Time is as precious a commodity as money these days and the less time you spend searching for the best price for soap, the more time you have to work on your business.

It Just Makes Sense

Don't let those fancy bottles fool you in retail stores. Wholesale products work just as well if not better than retail brands, but lack the showy and flashy bottles.
