“We make changes to our product line-up to give our customers exactly what they want,” says John Carrier, President of Reid Supply Company. “By utilizing the power and organic nature of the internet, we can make additions to ReidSupply.com when we find a product line that we are sure our customers will appreciate. This is the true advantage of having a web site that can grow and change with our customer needs.”

Investing in more robust data management processes helped the company’s Product Management Team to bring new products to ReidSupply.com, according to Director of Product Management, Steve Bliss.

“Reid Supply is very careful with the products we offer to our customers. We always want to be sure that our products are relevant and competitively priced, and we believe the Packaging and Shipping Supplies will be a hit with our customers.” says Bliss.

The company has had a thoughtful growth plan for the last three years and, even throughout the United States’ economic downturn, Reid Supply Company has carefully been adding products to their web site, ReidSupply.com. Palmer says they have more changes in store for the company’s web site as they continue to grow.

“In the last year, we’ve added workwear, boots, safety gear and we’ve improved our product category structure to help our customers find the exact product that they need faster,” says Palmer . “Adding the Packaging and Shipping Supplies will only help us to serve our customers even better than before.”
