Office Supplies: Focus your pricing efforts where your customers compare prices

Office supplies lost 4.8% of their value in France in 2024, and the B2B sector—comprising office supply retailers and mail-order sales—declined by 8.6% over the 12 months ending in September 2025. Fewer units sold at lower prices: every discount directly impacts the margin. Yet customers check only a handful of prices—always the same ones—and discounts rarely apply to those.

This white paper shows where pricing efforts pay off and where they merely generate profit margins: catalog categorization based on what customers compare and repurchase, tracking profit margins on contract prices and government procurement, preparation for the back-to-school season, and pricing rules by product category. Audited figures from 2024 to 2026 (Ufipa, GfK-NielsenIQ, INSEE, DEPP, OECP, Familles de France, Simon-Kucher).
