This without reservation is the most frequently asked question. I like to turn it around and ask. How hard are you going to work? How many hours are you committing to your store? How many friends and new prospects do you contact on a regular basis? These are the questions that will give you the answer to the first question.

Currently, there are approximately 2550* products available through the online supplies catalog. On Staff are full time "Catalog Site Technicians", who constantly monitor comparison pricing and update products. Hard to believe but this information changes on a daily basis and in order to be competitive and accurate with inventory and pricing this job is never ending. The product catalog on every CSS will maintain 99% of the imaging products consumers are looking for. There may always be an exception because older copiers and printers sometimes are no longer supported by the manufacturer.
*The exact number of products included within the catalog is always changing according to manufacturer availability.

Pricing is only one of the key elements when selling products online. We do monitor prices from the major online competitors and make every effort to stay below their price point. However, at times you will see a site offering (advertising) unbelievable prices on specific products. Beware!

There are a few reasons for this.

• The products may be out dated (expired quality dates).
• The products may be "counterfeit" imported from the Far East, South America or other region of the world that has lax export policies.
• The products may be misrepresented or mislabeled. Consumers are confused when they see terms such as... Includes OEM drum unit or... Recharged cartridge. There is a huge difference how products are remanufactured and tested for quality and print performance.
• The web store advertising these bargain prices could only be phishing for credit card and identity information. People love cheap prices so much that they lose their common sense. You don't get Prime Rib for the price of Hamburger no matter how much you believe it. There is a price to pay for the free lunch. Cartridge Superstore makes this promise. We will always strive to offer the best quality products and professional customer service at competitive market prices. (Price + Customer Service + Product Quality = Value at CSS)

New licensed IMA’s always ask if there is a magical secret to selling printer supplies online. The truth is no. Those that use ink or toner to print or create images are familiar with these products and know that their devices will not work without them. It’s a product you need to buy. The real question is “where do I purchase my supplies”? Do I go to Staples, do I order from some website that I’m not sure, who is handling my personal and financial data? Remember, you offer the same products as the major retailers and most likely at better prices. You also offer more selection with premium alternative products that are earth friendly. You need to get this information out to your friends, relatives, business associates and those that you do business with. Why would they not support you in your business if you support them? Use the social networking sites such as Facebook, My Space, Linked In, Twitter and various blogs to meet new friends with common interest. You know one thing, “anyone with a computer probably has a printer” and therefore buy these products. Get your business cards and have everyone in the family start passing them out. You will quick start your business and save your customers some money.

Yes, there is no doubt that a store operator to be effective in promoting a printer/copier supply website should know what they are talking about. Basic product training sessions will be available online (through Webinars) once a week and the support material archived and assessable to our store owners only. You will know the different types of products and categories. How they differ and the range of pricing? You don't have to memorize product codes or SKU numbers. This information is easily searchable through our catalog and always available to you.

Product knowledge and marketing ideas are key to greater success.
