NAPERVILLE, Ill., July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With prices rising
for necessities from gas to groceries, OfficeMax(R) Incorporated (NYSE:
OMX), a leader in office products and services, today announced the rollout
of a special price promotion campaign designed to make back-to-school
shopping more affordable and show that the penny still has power at
OfficeMax. Throughout the back-to-school season, OfficeMax will offer
special single-cent products and special penny bundle offers on key school
supplies at all retail locations nationwide.
In addition, OfficeMax is lowering the price on more than 100 popular
back-to-school supplies on items such as 3-5 subject notebooks, pencils and
pocket portfolios for the back-to-school season.
"With the school year approaching, we understand the difficulty parents
and teachers face in just providing basic supplies for each child," said
Ryan Vero, Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer at
OfficeMax. "Our 'Power to the Penny' promotion and aggressive pricing
allows us to give parents a break from rising prices, while ensuring that
their children are well stocked with essential supplies as they get ready
for a new school year."
Americans for Common Cents, a Washington DC-based organization focused
on currency education, supports OfficeMax's endorsement of the penny. "We
are encouraged to see a national retailer promoting the penny and
publicizing its worth to consumers," said Mark Weller, Director. "Pennies
are an important form of currency and we appreciate that OfficeMax values
their worth in today's economy."
Each week, OfficeMax will feature a special "penny offer" that varies
from a single-priced item for one cent to bundle offers that include a
special one cent item with the purchase of one or more regularly priced
products. Customers can see the weekly specials in OfficeMax's weekly
circular advertisements or online at http://www.officemax.com/penny.
