Small business expert to help Office Depot customers

BOCA RATON, Fla. Office Depot is partnering with small business expert and USA Today Small Business Columnist, Steve Strauss, to provide small business owners with advice on how organization can save time and increase revenue.

“Office Depot understands that small businesses are not only the backbone of our economy, they will be the ones who will help lead the nation through its economic recovery,” said Chuck Rubin, president of North American retail for Office Depot. “Office Depot is committed to helping small businesses by providing the organizational tools they need to save money, maintain customer loyalty, stretch budgets further and navigate their business through these unprecedented times.”

Strauss will provide advice on return on organization, or making the most of time and money.

“While small business owners know that time is money, and many might understand organization is important, they may not have a full understanding of how much organization can truly affect their bottom line,” said Strauss, author of The Small Business Bible, second edition. “Increased ROO can augment a small business’s revenue freeing up as much as 20 minutes per day, or two hours per week, which can equate to an additional 6% or more of a small business’s yearly revenue.”
