Default Sam's

I'm already a Sam's Club business member because of the savings I get there. It's a bit of a drive for me to get there, but since office supplies never go bad, I can stock up when I go. The gift card would be great! I'm always looking for bargains, so a big discount on something I already use is a bonus, particularly since they always have something I'd like to get that isn't on my list. It's nice to splurge every now and then.

It would be very helpful. Recently I've had to accept disability and funds are short.

I own an in-home elder care business and most of my supplies are office materials. I used my current Sam's Business Membership often and $100 would certainly help with things such a printer ink, paper and the like.

My husband and I have a small tech business and we'd love that gift certificate and membership to help us buy materials for our home office as well as stuff around the house.

Default Sam's Club Is THE Club

How could a Sam's Club Business Membership assist you in meeting your small-business goals? What would you hope to see from a cost-comparison? What areas would you like to see savings in your small business?

As a small business owner I know that Sam's Club has always been there for me whether it's office supplies, items that I can use for promotions, and more. I can always count on getting quality products for low prices. In my business we use a lot of ink for the printer as well as basic office supplies. I trust Sam's Club to be the Small Business Owner's Best Friend.

Default How a Sams Club Business Membership can help me

I run a small design agency and run into sams whenever i can. Usually late at night right before they close since i get stuck in late meetings. I get jealous when i walk in the door and see the special business members hours start at 7am.

That would be such a big help for me! To be able to get into sams before i have to get into the office would take a tremendous amount of pressure on me.

Plus i would make the sams club employees happy since i wont be holding them up after 8:30 when they wanna close up.

The $100 gift card is an awesome perk but getting earlier even better!

My husband & I have a personal account at Sams, but end up using it for our small business, also. It would be nice to have the convenience of shopping the business members hours! Office supplies disappear quickly around our home office, and Sams has the best quality stuff for the best price. Because of Sams, we are also able to hand out "freebies" along with our clients orders which keeps 'em comin back for more!

Post Sam's Club - An Invaluable Business Tool!!

I am a small business owner starting a woman owned quaint 4 bedroom Bed & Breakfast in the heart of an historic Civil War Battlefield in Virginia. Literally the house in on the battlegrounds!
Sam's Club would be an utmost invaluable resource to my business. As it would provide my establishment with all of it's everyday needs! I would be able to purchase everything from the highest quality beds & bedding for my weary travelers to rest up on to the freshest of groceries & produce that would ensure a delightful breakfast that would keep them coming back for more! Not to mention all of my cleaning supplies to keep my gem sparkling clean & all of course we must not forget the office supplies! Everything from the computer, software, everyday office supplies & all of my professional printing needs to keep the nuts & bolts side of my business together! Really there is nothing that I can think of that I would not be able to purchase for my business from Sam's Club! It would be my one stop shopping trip! Time is something I don't have much of these days & cutting my shopping down would not only save me time but money as well! It really sounds too good to be true- but could it be??

A Sam's Club Membership would be great for my small business because I use a lot of shipping supplies and also regular office supplies, office equipment, etc. I had a personal membership to Sams Years ago, but would love to see what Business Membership could do for me!

Membership would be GREATLY appreciated right now! I work from home, and my husband is out of work, so we're snacking more. This means that being able to buy in bulk can be crucial. My Kashi cereal is much better priced at Sam's Club than at normal stores. It's my breakfast every morning!

Also, because we're home more, we're using more paper products. Especially, ahem, toilet paper.

My husband is still getting unemployment, and I am on disability plus some small contract work. But that means we're living on/paying down our debt with just over $3,000 combined income. It's tight, to say the least. And this year, I have to pay $408/quarter in SE taxes now that I'm a small business. These things add up. So the bulk savings on food, paper products and regular business supplies (paper, ink, pens, etc) would really help stretch our budget.

Thanks for holding this competition!
