Staples Makes it Easy with Every Product Businesses Need to Succeed

New Staples Ad Campaign Showcases More Products and More Ways to Shop

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Staples Inc. (NAS: SPLS) , the world's largest office supply company and second largest internet retailer, is rapidly expanding its product assortment and making it easier than ever for businesses to get every product they need to succeed. The company's new television advertising campaign, which launches on Feb. 11, highlights how Staples offers more products than ever with more ways to shop.


Small businesses prefer this approach. In fact, a recent survey showed that two-thirds of small business owners prefer to shop where they can find everything they need for their business in one place, instead of having to go to multiple stores.

"Staples ad campaign brings our new strategy to life in a memorable way," said Steve Fund, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing, Staples. "The campaign highlights our vision of providing every product customers need as well as our unique omnichannel capabilities, which allow customers to shop in store, online, via mobile or a combination."

New Campaign Detail

The campaign includes one 30-second and three 15-second broadcast spots that highlight the breadth of products and services available through Staples. The campaign supports the company's strategic plan and vision that were announced late last year. To view the 30-second spot titled Magic click here: http://youtu.be/joVX5kiXk0k
