Sam & Fred’s Printer Predicament–Part I

“The next item is: buy a new printer,” Schoolboard Chairman Delmar announced.

Before Sam could speak, Fred piped up. “I’ll swing by Staples® and pick one up on my way home.”

Sam sighed to himself. He appreciated Fred’s helpfulness. It’s just that he was always chomping at the bit, while Sam liked to think things through.

“Thanks, Fred. I’m sure Sam won’t mind if you take that off his plate,” Delmar said.

Three months later, Sam was recording school expenses when something stopped him in his tracks. “Oh no,” he cried. “How can this be? What will the board say? In just 3 months, the school has spent $1,200 on ink.”

The next day as Sam drove to work, his mind was spinning. Suddenly, he spotted a bright red billboard that read “Think Ink.” Why, that’s just what I was thinking about–ink!

He quickly dialed the number.

“Happens all the time,” Jesse from Think Ink explained. “Folks don’t realize the hidden costs behind that juicy price tag. It’s a great deal until you start printing. Then you’re paying out the ears for ink. Contrast that with the Epson Workforce C579R. It’s super fast, worry-free, and lasts for years. Teachers love it! Plus, you’ll be able to slash that ink bill by 50%. Just swing by after work, and I’ll show you around.”

That night at the board meeting, Sam told the board all about the ink fiasco, his trip to Think Ink, and the significant savings they could make on ink. “They’ll even give us a $100 discount since it’s for school, plus great deals on ink!” Sam finished.

“Let’s go for it!” Chairman Delmar said. Everyone agreed enthusiastically except Fred, who looked a little miffed. But Sam didn’t notice. He could have leaped for joy!
