Office supplies are something that we may not think of when planning a business. However, they’re almost as important as anything else to the success of your business. You need paper, printers, ink, copiers, fax machines, telephones, and even comfortable chairs and spacious desks. Staplers, pens, rubber stamps and envelopes are also necessary office supplies for any business.

Take Google for example: Their “think outside the box” approach to the way they do business is reflected in their choice of office chairs. Instead of regular chairs, at the Google headquarters, employees sit on big exercise balls. How creative! This makes employees move around a little while they work, keeping them from getting stiff and losing energy. Do you remember being at an office where they had exceptional office supplies, desks, chairs, or office machines? What did they have, and how can you incorporate it into your office?
