WIND POWER IS HERE!!!!

Did you know that a majority of our # 9 and # 10 envelopes are manufactured using 100% wind power? You may already have some of these envelopes, but do your customers know that you are doing your part to be "Green"?

The "Wind Power " logo can be printed on the back of your envelopes for a small additional charge, what a great way to show the world you care! The logo is printed in the same ink color as the copy on the front of the envelope and can be positioned on the flap or at the bottom of the envelope. Other "Green" options are also available, such as having the window manufactured from a renewable corn source that is biodegradable.

Vendor Relations Attends the Largest ASI Show of the Summer

With 800 exhibitors on the floor, the idea of finding the perfect new item for our customers seemed a bit daunting, BUT, that's what OSP Vendor Relations team members, Sharon Kientz and Jane Queen, set out to accomplish back in July. The 2008 ASI Show Chicago was an exciting three day jam packed event! We walked through hundreds of the newest products, discovered money -saving, business growing ideas during our educational sessions, and made new friends at the various networking events each day. We started the two day show with an inspiring Keynote by ASI President and CEO Tim Andrews. Then onto the free educational workshops, where we learned exciting cutting-edge sales and marketing tools. One goal was to search out environmentally friendly products for our customers, that was a bit easier than planned with the Green Product Showcase located in the exhibit hall. Many suppliers showcased their ecofriendly items for us! All in one spot! (Our feet were so happy!) Take a look at the photos below and see if you can find us!

Green is good!

With spring showers fading & making way for blistering-hot summer days, I was thinking what a great time this is to take a deep breath, look around and enjoy all that nature as to offer. In between margaritas on Saturdays & lemonade on Sundays it does seem like the perfect opportunity to appreciate what surrounds me – while making sure I’m doing my part to protect i - And I know I’m not the only one to feel this way...

Optimum is no exception! I am proud to say that through our actions as individuals and as a company it is clear how much Optimum cares about the world around us. As a group we do strive to do our best to protect & preserve what’s around us for both present & future generations with our environmentally conscious actions. What’s even more exciting is that in recent months, as I’m sure is the case for many businesses around the country & the world, it seems we have found a renewed sense of urgency to do something now! We have really stepped up our efforts! From increasing the products we recycle internally (not just aluminum cans & paper anymore!) to touring plants that specialize in green products, it’s been refreshing to watch our group unite for this important cause.
