BuyOnlineNow.com is continuing their tradition of being one of America's top online office supply retailers. For the 4th year in a row, BuyOnlineNow has been recognized on Inc. Magazine's list of fastest growing companies in America.

Rochester, MN (PRWEB) August 26, 2008 -- BuyOnlineNow.com appears on Inc. Magazine's list of the fastest growing American companies for the fourth consecutive year.

While many businesses are resorting to desperate measures to stay afloat during our country's current period of economic instability, BuyOnlineNow has managed to continue their rapid growth in the office supplies and office furniture industry. Conducting business strictly online, and holding their reputation for excellent customer service in very high regard are some ways that BuyOnlineNow has been able to stand tall while so many of their contemporaries are falling. BuyOnlineNow carries a giant selection of products ranging from staplers and ball point pens to desks, office chairs and paper shredders.

BuyOnlineNow ranks at number 1,273 on the Inc. 5000, based on a year over year growth of 297.7% from 2004 through 2007. Revenue in 2004 was 4.8 million dollars and reached up to 19.2 million dollars in 2007.

Customer service has always been, and continues to be, the main focus of the company. Offering unequalled levels of customer service has really given BuyOnlineNow the opportunity to set itself apart from so many of their competitors. Having a proud and knowledgeable staff that genuinely enjoys helping people has not only generated sales, but has also helped to build a solid and loyal customer base.

Director of Sales, Mark Melius notes, "the goal of every single person at BuyOnlineNow.com is to do whatever it takes to provide our customers with the Ultimate Customer Service Experience. It starts with our marketing department getting the customer to our site, continues with our IT department making sure the order flows through our system properly and ultimately ends with our customer service team ensuring the customer's complete satisfaction".

Over the last couple of years, BuyOnlineNow has been forming strong relationships with many manufacturers, including 3M, Fellowes and Hon among others, which have allowed them to bring significant savings to thousands of in-demand items. Paired with this is their volume savings program which allows buyers to save on bulk orders, and a recent 10th anniversary sale, created to give something back to their loyal customers.

The design of BuyOnlineNow.com is based on a strong commitment to usability and a simple, straightforward look. Ideas on what the website should look like come from a thought process based on trying to step into the customer's shoes and providing everything they expect without cluttering up the page with unnecessary and annoying images. There is a very heavy focus on content and product information as well as a strong emphasis on maintaining detailed images for all the items.

BuyOnlineNow.com has also recently been included in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide of the largest online retail stores as well as in The Proficiency Post for topping the US office products industry in productivity with a remarkable $578,000 in sales per employee.

Melius adds: "we've built a team that's truly second to none in the industry, and trust me when I say that we've only just begun".

As the emphasis towards ergonomics in the workplace grows, many people are looking for new ways to attain comfort at their desk.  While using a nice ergonomic office chair is very important, it can also be a good idea to use a footrest.  Not only are many footrests available that adjust to match your body’s specific characteristics, but they also can be made from material designed to provide a high level of comfort to the soles of your feet.  This can mean a soft carpet material, or even therapeutic bumps which massage your feet as you work.

Most ergonomic footrests at the very least are tilt adjustable, while some even offer height adjustability and can be locked in at the perfect position.  There are even heated footrests available that keep your feet toasty warm even on the coldest winter days.

Footrests provide support for your legs and feet and also lend themselves to a new concept, active sitting.  Active sitting is the idea that you can get a lot more out of yourself while sitting at a desk.  By making small movements and repeating motions throughout the day, you can improve balance and posture, stay more alert and focused and possibly even burn calories and lose weight.  Some people also swear that by using inflatable exercise balls as alternatives to their office chairs, they have increased core strength and relieved some chronic back pains.

Footrests are available from many popular manufacturers including Rubbermaid, Safco, Fellowes, 3M and more.

3M has some secrets, and they’re ready to share them with you!  With a whole line of Post-it products that feature convenience along with originality, 3M can help you organize yourself while at work!

Each section features the Super Sticky Notes and multiple ways to use them for each situation’s advantage.  These notes are perfect for reminders to stick onto nearly any surface. 

When you are finished finding all of the secrets, you can sign up for their sweepstakes and download a 30-Day Free Trial of Post-it Digital Notes.  After using these for about a week I have been able to remember appointments that I have, projects that need to get done, and even needing to write this blog post!  If your desk is cluttered, these Digital Notes are a great way to keep reminders – and they even have an alarm on them! 

Using a custom binder for meetings, sales presentations or even personal use, adds a whole other layer of professionalism than when just using standard ring binders.  With Avery Signature Custom Binders you can quickly and easily design a custom binder with no minimum quantity requirements that will be ready to be shipped to you in 5 business days.

The design process is broken down to 5 easy steps.  First you choose a template, then you create the look of your binder using photos, clip art, logos and text.  All that’s left is previewing the binder and placing the order.

While seeing custom binders being used in businesses is very common, now you can make a binder specifically for yourself.  Whether you want to impress a certain client, or maybe create a special photo album for your wedding, Avery custom binders give you the options you need.

Ok, this isn't your average shredder, and our sites just focus on paper shredders.

We're also fans of cool things and humor. Watch it Shred's YouTube channel happens to provide both. Here's a recently added video of a lost opportunity and the demise the riding lawn mower ultimately faced by being put through an industrial shredder.

Although the above scenario is unlikely, you have to admit that it's clever.
