A new concept in the Business-to-Business marketplace has the potential to make a significant impact on the way people buy supplies and equipment for their businesses. But before the idea goes “viral”, many skeptical business owners will ask the same two questions: “What am I buying exactly, and how does this work?”
Named B2B Pax, and operating from a virtual online warehouse location, the venture resembles a three-way cross between big-box membership outlets such as Costco or Sam’s Club, Groupon coupons and the Gold-C books sold to raise money for little league football. But rather than selling the actual “big box” the way Costco does (whose membership pays annual dues for the privilege of getting discount prices), or one item at a discount like Groupon does, B2B Pax sells just the discounts, similar to the coupon book, but in smaller packages that contain a maximum of six discount offers, targeted toward businesses rather than consumers.
“We believe it’s a win-win-win for everyone,” says B2B Pax founder Mike Wieber.
“Manufacturers and distributors win because there’s no upfront cost or risk for them to participate in the program. Businesses win because they are able to purchase supplies they actually use all the time at incredible discounts. B2B Pax wins by selling the Pax.”
Wieber points to an example of a Pax priced at $29 that contains discounts totaling more than $1,000. “And that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he says.
