Life Strategies' Office Matters

When Life Strategies, LLC starting looking for office products, they wanted to find a company with similar values: commitment to the community, sound corporate ethics, and a belief in a strong relationship.

Patricia Hoogestraat, LMFT, RBC, Executive Director of Life Strategies commented, "We wanted to find an office products company that can help us lower costs, but more importantly we wanted to find a company that will help us deliver best-in-class service to our clients."

A growing company, Life Strategies needed furniture, office products, and copiers/printers -- without straining their cash flow. Kramer & Leonard worked on their furniture needs first. As a HON Showcase and Herman Miller Healthcare dealer, Kramer & Leonard was able to find furniture that fit the need at an affordable price.

As Life Strategies' history of office supply purchases evolved, Kramer & Leonard used the history to develop new office supply purchase behavior - resulting in significant cost savings. As an added benefit, Life Strategies is able to help the Lake Area United Way through Kramer & Leonard's copy paper co-branding campaign. The campaign donates to the local United Way for each carton of paper purchased, all at no additional cost to Life Strategies.

Due the strong growth, Life Strategies needed two new copiers and several printers. Before making the purchases, they communicated their objectives with Kramer & Leonard. Kramer & Leonard used their Managed Print Services analytics to help Life Strategies reduce network printing and copying costs by 60% without sacrificing quality or functionality.

Hoogestraat added, "We are very happy with our relationship. There are several office supply stores we can shop, but very few that would have aligned themselves with our mission."
