Anyone who knows me know that when I go for something, I go all out. This can be the bane of my existence sometimes, but today.... TODAY.... it has paid off.

A lot of vendors make a big to-do about OCS. When I was researching getting into OCS, I thought back to my corporate days and how many different places we had to order from to get office supplies, coffee supplies, cleaning supplies, etc.

So I thought why stop at office coffee?

Now we have a full color catalog with almost 250 items to choose from. These will be provided to all of our current customers as a bonus for using Reed Co Vending.

While I have been slaving away for the last month on this catalog, making sure everything is perfect, my husband has been out getting interest building with our customers. Several of our accounts have expressed an interest in the catalog, and I can see it as a marketing tool for when we approach new locations.

It struck me about half way through creating this catalog, when I was out scouting for new locations. Most of the decision makers I spoke with didn't even know the name of their vending company. This is another way for our name to get out in our community and for us to diversify our income stream.

We just got the catalog back from the printers, and it is beautiful (if I do say so myself).

We've also updated our website to reflect the option for catalog ordering. While we are still small, we do not have online ordering, but we do have the form available to fill out and email to us. Eventually we will get to the place that online ordering will available. Baby steps.
