Staples Provides Organization Tips and Staples Brand Product Suggestions to Help Small Businesses Declutter and Destress
Tuesday 26. October 2010 - Company Teams Up With the Clutter Diet(R) In Time for "National Organize Your Files Month"
Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLS), the world’s largest office products company, is teaming up with Lorie Marrero, certified professional organizer and founder of the Clutter Diet(R), to provide organization tips and Staples Brand product suggestions to help small businesses declutter and destress before the New Year. Marrero first tackles ‘office clutter’ for “National Organize Your Files Month.” Marrero will continue to offer new weekly tips and product suggestions, as well as additional resources and information, at www.staples.com/clutterdiet.
“Our goal is to make it easy for small businesses to have success in the workplace by providing them with top-knotch tools and products,” said Dave D’Angelo, senior vice president of Staples Brand Group. “By combining Lorie’s advice and organizational expertise with the quality of Staples Brand products, Staples customers will be able to cut their ‘clutter calories’ in no time.”
Staples and Lorie make it easy to get organized at home or in the office, and suggest the following advice to get started:
Get a head start on clearing out 2010 clutter while ensuring that confidential information stays private. Shred junk mail, unwanted documents and old CDs and DVDs with the Staples(R) MailMate M5(TM) shredder.
Organize documents in both files and binders. The Staples(R) BETTER(TM) binder features an easy to insert spine label and D-rings that hold up to 25 percent more paper than standard round-ring binders. And the non-stick, archival safe material won’t lift ink or toner off printed pages. Line binders up on shelves for an organized, polished look.
If you find papers attached with paper clips in your files, remove the paper clips and staple the stacks instead. Paper clips tend to grab onto other unintended papers when stored in a file folder. Use the super powerful Staples(R) One-Touch(TM) staplerto make it easy.
One of the best kept secrets in office supplies are box-bottom hanging folders. They expand to hold a larger capacity of paper if you have jumbo files. I recommend stocking the Staples 2″ letter size box bottom folders for the most typical use.
After organizing files and clutter, give the office a clean look. Many people do not realize that their desktops are one of the germiest places they will encounter all day. Sustainable Earth by Staples(TM) Multi-Purpose Cleaner delivers powerful cleaning that is safer for the environment and even meets the Green Seal(TM) environmental standard for household cleaners and is Green Seal(TM) certified.
“I am excited to work with Staples to offer some of my Clutter Diet tips and Staples Brand product picks,” said Lorie Marrero, founder and creator of the Clutter Diet. “Our two brands share a common goal of providing easy ways to get organized on any budget.”
