NICHE MARKET

Sometime ago in the 1990s, which now sounds so ancient and retrospect, a quirky little phrase spread throughout the business world-a phrase that brought with it a bit of apprehension for paper distributors, mills, manufacturers, and resellers. The concept of the "paperless olfice" has proven to be just that-a concept. And, despite changes in the use and types of paper products, the market for paper can be a viable option for dealers looking for new ways to increase business and profits.

Current paper industry projections have remained stable if not enthusiastic, but lean toward the positive. According to paper industry analysts and chief economists, the paper industry's weak 2003 start can be attributed to world issues including the war with Iraq, the recent recession and its resulting apprehension, the competitive imports' strong dollar, and changing technological habits. For resellers who want to compete and profit within this massive industry, there's better news on the horizon, be it for olHce product dealers, stationery merchants, or quick printers.

For the reseller who wants to move paper products, a bounty of products and opportunities await the dealer who wants to specialise in one type of paper product, or all paper products. From shelved copy paper and stationery to business forms, folders, labels, envelopes, specialty papers, office product dealers, stationery stores, and quick printers dealer oriented companies are seeking your business and offer costs that can bring you consistent profits with little work needed on your end of the commitment.
