MJSA Press Room

PROVIDENCE, RI– Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) has rolled out two benefit programs geared toward helping members cut costs and improve profits. In partnership with Staples Office Supplies, MJSA members can now save on 34,000 office products and, in many cases, receive next-day delivery. In addition, through insurance broker Richard Zacharoff, MJSA can now offers businesses of all sizes access to affordable health care insurance.

Affordable Health Insurance
With health care insurance costs skyrocketing, MJSA is offering several affordable health and disability insurance plans to its membership. Partnering with health care insurance brokerage specialist Richard Zacharoff, MJSA now offers medical, dental, life, and long- and short-term disability insurance, as well as a drug card program.

Through the use of its collective purchasing power, MJSA now enables companies of all sizes to receive competitive rates on necessary health benefits. This includes businesses with a small number of employees, which frequently have difficultly finding health care coverage.

Staple Discount Program
Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America has also partnered with Staples Office Supplies, one of the nation’s premier office supply chains, to offer discounted office products, personalized service, overnight delivery, and convenient on-line ordering to MJSA members.

The program offers customized pricing programs that save businesses money on the items they frequently purchase. It also provides an inside account manager who would be responsible for the needs of participating companies.

In addition, the program includes next-day delivery for orders of $50 or more transmitted by 4:30 PM EST, as well as access to StaplesLink.com. This online program showcases 34,000 catalog products, offers the ability to create custom shopping lists, and provides order histories that are maintained for 90 days.

This program is offered by MJSA and Staples Business Advantage; its discounted pricing cannot be obtained by non-participating businesses at Staples retail stores, Staples Direct mail order catalogs, or Staples.com.
