New Chamber program saves you money!
Members, I am very excited to share with you that the Minneapolis Regional
Chamber is launching a new program that will help your bottom line. Some
of you may save thousands of dollars.
Everyone uses office supplies. Now, through the chamber, you could reduce these costs by
15, 20 even 30% thanks to a powerful program we have available through Office Depot.
We have joined Chambers all over the country to offer these savings to you. The combined
buying power of more than $200 million allows Office Depot to give our members amazing
discounts.
As a member, you are guaranteed a discount on every single product Office Depot sells; pa-
per, ink cartridges, toner etc. Had this program been available last year, this chamber would
have saved over $1,000 on our office supply purchases.
It is convenient because you save whether you buy on-line or at one of the stores. See all the
details on page14. Have your free purchasing analysis done and began enjoying the savings
immediately.
Our mission is to create powerful partnerships to unite and grow member businesses and the
region. Our new Office Depot savings program is designed to do just that. Put it to work for
you.

Yours Truly,
Todd Klingel
