What’s Hot & What’s Not?

This week we ask Carmen Pitarra, president of 4 the Office, formerly Northeast Print Supplies & Equipment, in Pittstown, PA, what products, solutions, and services are currently hot in his market and what’s not?

What’s hot?

Pitarra: Print management. It’s been great for us and has unbelievable potential in the future. Office supplies; because we are one of only two or three other independents in this region [selling supplies; and many customers generally are just ordering from Big Box Stores of which we can compete with and deliver a more personable experience.

What’s not?

Pitarra: Fax machines. I can’t even tell you the last time someone called in looking for one.
