STAPLES® Business Advantage


Recognizing that office supplies are a necessary and often large expense item in all business budgets, we are pleased to offer members an opportunity for incredible discounts through Staples® Business Advantage...

PMCI’s program is available to members through PMAA and Staples office supply company. STAPLES® BUSINESS ADVANTAGE offers members an opportunity for:

INCREDIBLE DISCOUNTS on a variety of products that have been negotiated based on the collective bargaining of our members;

THREE FAST and EASY ways to order internet, phone and fax;

REDUCED COSTS and OVERALL SAVINGS on specialty items including:

PRINTING customized items like letterhead, business cards, notepads, stationary etc.

PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS that communicate your logo or message.

STAPLES “Family of Catalogs” include office supplies, furniture, advertising specialty, printing, business machines etc.

NEXT DAY DELIVERY for most locations on in-stock orders placed by 3:00 pm;

DEDICATED ACCOUNT MANAGER responsible for the needs of each PMCI/PMAA member; and

REDUCED PRICING on products used by those participating in the program.

If one PMCI member uses an enormous amount of toner, for example, and qualifies for incredible discounts, then ALL PMCI members in Iowa will qualify for the same discounts.

This program truly is a benefit of membership… our buying power as a group benefits all who participate. The more we buy together, the more we save.

PMCI not only endorses Staples Business Advantage... WE USE IT! PMCI has enjoyed phenomenal cost savings!  Staples has a quick and easy one-time set-up for web and account access. We have a dedicated representative who is just an e-mail or phone call away. It’s nice to know we don’t have to go through an unending voice-mail system trying to find help from a live person. Items are easily found on the website using keywords, categories or brand names. Using their online shopping lists feature we can quickly reorder frequently used items. It’s very rare if an item purchased doesn’t arrive to our office the next day!
