ADA Member Advantage endorses Office Depot as office supply provider

ADA Member Advantage announced Jan. 21 that it has selected Office Depot as its exclusively endorsed office supply provider for Association members.

The endorsement allows ADA members to save up to 75% on a range of products from the Office Depot Best Value list, which includes items such as coffee, paper, cleaning supplies, office chairs, ink, batteries and trash liners. Members will also receive free next business-day delivery, according to ADA Member Advantage.

“Dental offices often don’t order the kind of supplies carried by Office Depot in great enough quantities to take advantage of bulk discounts,” said Deborah Doherty, chief executive officer of ADA Member Advantage. “Through this program, our members, as well as their staff and family, have access to preferred pricing and can realize real cost savings.”

In addition, Ms. Doherty said, Office Depot will be offering members dedicated customer service representatives who can work with them to provide guidance and help uncover additional cost savings for their practices.

Through its banner brands Office Depot and OfficeMax, as well as others, the company offers its customers the tools and resources to help run their businesses through approximately 1,200 retail stores, an online presence and thousands of dedicated sales professionals.

“We believe that dental offices will find us easy to work with and benefit from the peace of mind our program flexibility offers,” said Sarah Glazier, Healthcare Buying Groups program manager of Office Depot.

ADA members, Ms. Glazier said, have the option of shopping online with various delivery options or shopping in any Office Depot or OfficeMax store with their store purchasing card to receive negotiated contract pricing on a range of supplies.

“We really believe that we can help ADA dentists save time and money while offering access to a wide variety of quality products,” Ms. Glazier said.

According to ADA Member Advantage, Association members can also take advantage of Office Depot’s convenient payment options, including single account billing or consolidated billing for practices with multiple locations.
