Last week the South Carolina Small Business Chamber ramped up its efforts to save small businesses on office supplies and printing purchases.  Eighty-seven more small businesses received our Office Depot Discount Card and immediately started saving money on their first purchase.  And because with every purchase the Small Business Chamber receives a small revenue stream they are also supporting our advocacy efforts.
