National contest showcases how small businesses
Make More Happen across the U.S.
Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLS) is celebrating National Small
Business Week with the launch of unbeatable ink and toner prices on
a broad selection of ink and toner cartridges, effective May 1, and
a new in-stock guarantee. To help small businesses make more happen
every day, these unbeatable prices on ink and toner are here to
stay. In addition to the widespread price reduction, Staples has
also unveiled the Make More Happen Contest that will showcase the
work of the small business contest winners across the U.S.
National Small Business Week, which takes place from May 1–7,
annually recognizes the impact of countless small businesses and
entrepreneurs. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration,
more than half of Americans either own or work for a small
business. As part of its commitment to helping small businesses get
more for less, Staples has cut prices on thousands of ink and toner
cartridges.
“National Small Business Week provides an opportunity to
appreciate the substantial contributions of entrepreneurs and small
business owners,” said Peter Scala, executive vice president,
merchandising, Staples. “Staples has spent the past 30 years
helping small businesses on the path to success, and we are
committed to that legacy by continuing to deliver quality products
and services at low prices. These unbeatable ink and toner prices
are here to stay and help our customers make more happen with their
small businesses every day.”
The Make More Happen Contest – which is currently accepting
submissions through May 21 – showcases the winning small
businesses. To enter, small businesses simply visit
staples.com/MakeMoreHappenContest and describe in 200 words or less
how their business is “making more happen.” Five lucky winners will
be selected, with each receiving on-location production of a
30-second spotlight video of their business to be featured
nationally on Staples’ social media channels. Additionally, all
five winners will be awarded a $1,000 Staples Print & Marketing
Services package to help market their business.
“At Staples, we want to recognize and share the great work small
businesses are doing every day across the country,” said Alison
Corcoran, senior vice president North American stores and online
marketing, Staples. “The Make More Happen Contest will help us
acknowledge small businesses and share their success stories.”
Staples is committed to unbeatable ink and toner prices,
offering the best prices both in stores and online. Those
purchasing ink and toner at their local Staples retail location are
covered by Staples’ in-stock guarantee – if a particular cartridge
is out of stock, a Staples associate will order that item at an
onsite kiosk and provide a $10 discount and free shipping. Shoppers
who buy ink and toner online can also elect to pick up their
cartridges in-store within one hour of purchase.
Staples will price match cartridges sold and shipped by
Amazon.com, or any retailer that sells cartridges in retail stores
and online under the same brand. To receive the Staples 110% Price
Match Guarantee, customers who find a lower price on a new,
identical cartridge can show it to the Staples Customer Service
Desk associate at the time of purchase in a Staples store. For a
price match on Staples.com, customers can call 800-333-3330.
