The Future
2012 & Beyond

T
he future is the indefinite time period which will occur after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due
to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the nature of this reality, Premier Alliance is constantly
evolving and changing to adjust to the future. In the philosophy of time, presentism is the belief that only the
present exists. While this is the time we currently live and work at having the flexibility to react and make the
necessary changes to our business model is what the future beholds. Future studies, or futurology, is the
science, art and practice of postulating possible futures. At Premier we pride ourselves on using this model
to become the future practitioner of tomorrow’s office solutions.

A MESSAGE FROM MITCH & SHELDON
PRESIDENTS OF PREMIER SUPPLIES

In the summer of 1990, Mitch Wergiles was working at a messenger company and Sheldon Lehman was working in the garment
center. Together, they decided to start a company selling copy paper and rolls of fax paper. Who would have guessed that twenty-
two years later, Premier Supplies would have grown to a state-of-art supplier of office products! Today, Premier Supplies is an
office solutions provider to many organizations, including Fortune 500 companies and smaller, well-established firms.

From our humble beginnings, 20+ years ago, to present time, we have introduced new products and services which our loyal cus-
tomers have embraced and purchased through our organization. We continue to expand our offerings to supplement our existing
services and products. In addition to the standard office supplies, vending machines, beverages, and furniture, we now offer print
services, technology, and essential messenger services to our office and facilities professionals.

We extend our heart-felt thanks to our employees, families, friends, and to our vendors and customers for the support and loyalties
each and every one has provided to us over the years. We look forward to our continuous and growing relationship with you in the
decades to come.

We wish you and your families continued health, happiness and prosperity in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Mitch and Sheldon

“Break Room”
Whether your office has a traditional break room or just a small galley, this can be
one of the most desired areas of the office. It is a place where the employees can
have informal meetings or just grab a minute alone. Your break room is an oasis
where your employees can get re-energized. Our product lines include bottled
or filtered water service, full-service beverage and snack vending machines, and
all types of coffee and espresso brewing equipment, featuring the Bodecker and
Keurig one-cup machines. We have all the food service supplies, including pa-
per and plastic products and cleaning supplies needed for your break room.

From our warehouse in Carlstadt, NJ, we service the entire tri-state area, ranging
from Princeton, NJ to Fairfield County, CT, Manhattan and Long Island, NY each
business day.

When you are in need for a morning pick me up, look no further than us. We have
your morning, afternoons, and evenings well covered.

22

Coffee
Coffee is one of the world’s most popular beverages. Some claim it is the most widely con-
sumed liquid in the world aside from water.

Coffee is more than a beverage due to the caffeine it harbors and to its sensory pleasure.
Coffee lovers come to associate the energizing lift of the caffeine with the richness and
aroma of the beverage that delivers it.

Coffee is produced from the seeds of a small red (sometimes yellow) fruit that grows on plants
halfway in size between shrub and tree. It is a very labor intensive process involving an ex-
tensive collaboration that starts with the coffee grower, is picked by hand, sent to the mill
for workers to meticulously remove the fruit and dry the beans. After the beans are cleaned
and graded, they are sent to the roaster, usually by ship, and finally to those consumers and
baristas who grind the beans and prepare the beverage. It is the cumulative quality of all of
these creative contributions that together make the difference between a lackluster cup and
a fine and distinctive one.

At Premier Supplies we pride ourselves on having the right solution to facilitate your cof-
fee requirements, keeping your employees energized. To learn more please speak with our
break time connoisseur Larry Frolow at 973.271.9159 or lfrolow@premiersupplies.com

Delivery

React Courier & Messenger Services began with a simple concept:
listen to our customer; find out what they need, fill that need. Over the
years we have applied this concept and built a business one load at a
time, earning the trust and respect of our customers.

Whether you have a warehouse with loading docks or are located on
the top floor of an office building, we have the correct solution for your
business needs. React also prides itself on the hands-on role of its
executive management team who will work alongside staff to ensure
each client gets the best and most effective service possible.

24

Janitorial
Janitorial Supplies by Premier was formed to satisfy many requests from our clients for a one stop shopping
experience. We are a Green Certified firm with a strong focus on safety, sanitation, and pride for the products
we facilitate. We service all federal and private sector firms nationwide. We are headquartered in New York
City with our warehouse and distribution center in New Jersey.

• We utilize green products whenever possible that are healthy for the
environment and include no toxins. We recycle to help save landfills
and do everything possible to reduce the impact on our earth. By liv-
ing green and going green we reduce the impact on the planet in all
possible ways.

• Many green products are packaged in recycled packaging, biode-
gradable, and contain no phosphates, chlorine, artificial fragrances, or
artificial colors. The main goal of green cleaning is to use eco-friendly
cleaning solutions, recycle, use organic products whenever possible,
and promote methods that keep our environment healthy. Green certi-
fied companies go beyond products; they use green and eco-friendly
cleaning processes and programs.

• Many businesses are now going green to help reduce the impact on
our earth. That is why we made going green one of our top priorities.
25

Jump Cart

Stop the old way of ordering your supplies. Having someone walk around with a clip-
board or order sheet, making notes of which supplies are running low, then manually
entering the order into an ecommerce system is no way to run a tight ship. The risks
are expensive: transposing ﬁgures from paper to keyboard can cause costly errors
and buyers who ignore carefully negotiated supply agreements in favor of vendor
“specials of the week‟ may save money on an item or two, but ultimately results in
higher costs.

JumpCart automates your supply ordering process, leading to greater efficiency, low-
er costs and increased order accuracy. Simply scan a barcode for the supplies you
wish to order using our compact keyfob scanner, then plug the scanner into your PC
and upload the order. No more pen and paper, and no manually keying in orders.

The JumpCart System helps decrease costs associated with inventory and supply
management. Reduce requisition-to-order cycles. Minimize inventory carrying costs.

26

Light Bulbs

The incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light
globe produces light by heating a filament wire to a high temperature
until it glows. The hot filament is protected from oxidation in the air with
a glass enclosure that is filled with inert gas or evacuated. In a halogen
lamp, filament evaporation is prevented by a chemical process that re-
deposits metal vapor onto the filament, extending its life. The light bulb
is supplied with electrical current by feed-through terminals or wires em-
bedded in the glass. Most bulbs are used in a socket which provides
mechanical support and electrical connections.

Incandescent bulbs are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, light out-
put, and voltage ratings, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require
no external regulating equipment, have low manufacturing costs. As we
evolve and take responsibility for the energy and lighting we use, Premier
Supplies features the correct lighting solutions for your needs today and
tomorrow with the newest LED lighting solutions.

Computer / Data Center Storage
Magnetic & Optical Media
Magnetic storage and Optical Media are terms from engineering referring to the
storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns
of magnetization in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non-vol-
atile memory. The information is accessed using one or more read/write heads.

As of 2011, magnetic storage media, primarily hard disks, are widely used
to store computer data as well as audio and video signals. In the field of
computing, the term magnetic storage is preferred and in the field of audio
and video production, the term magnetic recording is more commonly used.
Magnetic storage in the form of audio recording on a wire was pub-
licized by Oberlin Smith in 1888. He filed a patent in September,
1878 but did not pursue the idea as his business was machine tools.

The first publicly demonstrated (Paris Exposition of 1900) magnetic recorder
was invented by Valdemar Poulsen in 1898. At Premier Supplies we feature
the latest in technologies ranging from DLT’s, LTO’s, Optical, and Hard Disk
Storage from all major manufacturers.

pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.

format and specialty for Ink Jet Printers, Continuous Forms, and various grades of
10%, 30% and 100% recycled products. We deliver all of our commodities nation-

Toner Supplies

Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers to form
the printed text and images on the paper. In its early form it was
simply carbon powder. Then, to improve the quality of the printout,
the carbon was melt-mixed with a polymer in 7-10 microns in size.

Today’s state of the art printers utilize a particle from 3-5 mi-
crons in size for the sharpest of sharp images. Toner parti-
cles are melted by the heat of the fuser, and bind to the paper.
Modern laser toner cartridges intended for use in color copiers and
printers come in cyan, magenta, and yellow and black (CMYK). At
Premier Supplies we have the right solution of OEM, generic and ev-
ery major manufacture to service your business requirements.

Sustainable
How “green” is your organization? More and more, that question is being asked by customers, donors, business partners and
policymakers. From the largest company to the smallest, environmental responsibility is a key business concern affecting your
reputation, your daily operations, and your bottom line.
Being responsible starts by consulting with our clients to make strategic production decisions that minimize ink and paper
waste, while on press and during trimming and binding processes. For example, paper sheets and web rolls typically avail-
able in several standard sizes. We consult with our customers so they can size their projects to make more efficient use of
standard sizes. We have created an innovative environmental action program which provides a monthly carbon neutrality
statement based on paper, process, and inking, called our PBP Environmental Calculator or “PBPEC.”

Case Study:

THE CHALLENGE:

To engage people in a meaningful atmosphere while making it fun and informative. It was January 10th of 2012 and our executive
team was meeting to discuss new and innovative ideas to grow business. We have all been to shows before when you take far too
many vendors and products and just bombard your clients with information and hope some sticks. Through our discussion the
idea was presented about having a show aboard the USS Intrepid which is a living museum here on the Westside of Manhattan.
After all the ship has a 17,000 square foot room, a flight deck and the newest attraction being the USS Enterprise Space Shuttle
would make for quite the setting. However we still needed to make it fun, exciting, informative about what today’s professionals are
faced with. We also required a transportation system to get people back to main hubs after the event for the commute home.We
had to attract Marketing Professionals, Facility Managers, Procurement Purchasing Coordinators and show them value as to why
they should interrupt their day look at our video, then attend our event, not an easy task!

FUN:

We decided to make this a Mission Possible theme where our participants could be part of a game and actually use spy glasses
to decode their mission cards which were personalized for them to visit key manufactures, drop their card into a bin and be reg-
istered to win prizes that evening.

THE INVITATION:

Print by Premier + More were challenged with this task, develop a concept which is unique, informative and would generate curios-

ity. We had a think tank session using our core philosophy “Creative Free Thinking” with some exceptional minds and this is what
we came up with. We developed an amazing, and the results “ROMI” return on marketing investment was exceptional, above all
of our expectations..

THE CROSS MEDIA ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN:

We
started with a unique design using the latest in stamping, papers from Neenah, Offset Lithography and personalization via digi-
tal along with mounting and fulfillment, direct mail, email, video, personalized URL’s. We welcomed our guests with a very unique
package for the front end and provided management with a easy to use real time backend reporting module, which is all part of
our on-line technology. We then added another dimension utilizing red lenses within glasses which optically allow for hidden mes-
sages to be part of the custom mission cards, also part of the invitation package and digitally printed.

PROGRAMMING:

Using our own in house technology we had our professional team design the solution. We started with great data, a solid easy
to use platform we call our Basic’s Corporate Store. The solution allows for variable data print, email, Personal URL’s, video all to
be developed and launched within 2 weeks of designing the program. The beauty of our solution is you do not need to have a
programming degree, be a designer or be a creative genius. The technology does it for you with some very easy to use industry
leading steps.

STATISTICS ENGINE:

The backend of the solution is every bit as easy to use as the front end. All statistics: views of pages, soft and hard bounces, IP
addresses, time spent, questions answered, RSVP’s are all available to be viewed and exported in real time with some very simple
clicks of a mouse.

The Print and Email Campaign:

• The cross media campaign was looked at by over 60% of the people who received the first email and the mailed invitation

• Personal URL’s sent via email were looked at by 50% of the people who received them
• The RSVP’s in the first 3 days totaled over 15.3% of the 1300 people who received the email.

keeps you
on your game.

You can’t afford a paper that goes into a slump, hits an off
note or gives anything less than 110 percent. You need a winner.

everything you want on press. So when your reputation and
your business are on the line, you’d better bring your A game.
Bring it with Accent Opaque.

Accent delivers a prime-time performance every time.
N
o matter how you use it, Accent responds.

Text or cover? Covered. Offset or digital? Let it roll. Smooth or
vellum? Strong to the finish. Bright white or warm? Color me
impressed. Front or back? Yes.

Every option, every choice, every sheet answers the call
every time with Grade A precision. That’s what you should
expect when you bring your A game. And that’s what you’ll
get with Accent Opaque.
