Public Relations with the local community is very important and a very powerful method to increasing sales and profits. But certain types of companies are tough to develop public relations campaigns for. Lets take office supply companies, sure you can donate office supplies for needy children going back to school, but that will cost you money and real costs and the more you donate the more they will ask for next year too.

May I suggest joining a mobile neighborhood watch patrol with your office delivery vehicles, they can watch for crime as they are on their normal deliveries. Why would an office delivery and supply company join in a business crime watch group? Well lets us take look and consider the following.

OFFICE SUPPLY COMPANIES: All these companies park their trucks in shopping malls or Industrial areas and due to Internet sales and delivery they are buying more and more trucks to supplement their brick and mortar stores. These trucks do have two-way communication and are happy to participate in the program. After all, less vandalism is better for their business and their customers also will be happy to see that they are helping. Also do remember that many of these stores may put the flyers for your program in the bags of their customers during check out. And many of these stores have copying services and can even print the flyers for you.

If you run an office supply and delivery company perhaps you might consider this as a possible PR campaign, so think on this in 2006.
