The Fish and Chips Principle
If you’ve ever wandered around one of the many excellent seaside resorts in the UK, you’ve likely noticed the abundance of Fish & Chips shops on every street corner. They all have one thing in common: most advertise their business as Award-Winning.
Similarly, in the Business Supplies Industry, everyone claims to be the biggest, the best and the most competitive. But how do you truly decide where to get the best possible deal for your company?
Business Supplies might not be your company's biggest expenditure, but when you consider the range of products you purchase—from IT consumables, furniture, and paper, to machines, cleaning products, workwear, and even tea and coffee—it could be more significant than you realize.
We can’t guarantee you the best deal on Fish and Chips but, with over 100 years’ of collective experience working for the main suppliers, our team would look to create savings of 20-30% against your current supply arrangements.
With a free membership, you benefit from our group’s collective purchasing power, potentially saving between 20% to 30%. You'll also enjoy enhanced customer service, including a dedicated help desk with named contacts, and full access to a more extensive range of business supplies.
Our Suppliers win because they receive a steady flow of new business without the costs associated with outsourced lead generation activities, expensive marketing costs and external sales team costs as our sales team are all self employed although contracted to the business.
Switch Direct wins because we receive a contribution from the supplier to support our self-employed consultants and the work we do within the community. Our efforts work towards helping individuals return to the work or achieve a better work-life balance.
