Waldeck's Lands Mayor's Office Contract

Waldeck's is excited and honored to be awarded a three year office supply contract with the San Francisco Mayor's Office. We are grateful to Mayor Gavin Newsom, who walked the "support your local small business" talk and asked that his office by serviced by a micro-LBE (a local business entity that does less than three million dollars in sales). We're a month into the contract and all is going well. We look forward to keeping the Mayor's Office, as well as all our other great customers, happy and feeling wonderful for a long time to come.

Waldeck's Excitement Creators

Friends often inquire, "how do you compete against the big guys?" I reply "you mean SODOM?" "What's that?" I'm asked. "SODOM...Staples, Office Depot and Office Max."

So much for my attempt at acronymic humor, we are all in this office supplier boat together and collectively we strive to get the customer/consumer excited about the products and services we offer.

Fortunately for Waldeck's. we have a whole cadre of "excitement creators" called manufacturer's reps. They're awesome! They provide demonstrations of products, free samples and, keep us in the loop of what is the latest and greatest.

Hat's off to Josie, Tim, Chip, Steve, Mary, Nick, David, George, Clarke, Reed and Debra...hearfelt thanks for all you do for Waldeck's and our wonderful customers.
