48% of UK Office Workers are 'Geeks': Here are 4 Reasons why we Love Stationery
26 April 2018
Here at B&M HQ, we definitely make up the 48%! Here’s just a few reasons why we love stationery.
The Pretty Colours
The same research found that 58% of those polled admit to taking pride in having ‘nice’ stationery, with slightly less agreeing that owning pens, notepads and binders is therapeutic.
Better yet, stationery that suits your personal taste and reflects your unique personality is vital in a drab and clinical office environment.
It takes a simple splash of colour or a beautiful floral design to create your own piece of paradise at work. Just take a look at all our pretty stationery things! From our A4 Fashion Popper Wallets 4pk to 18pc Stationery Sets and A6 Notebooks.
The Variety
What’s more exciting than scribbling over fresh paper with your favourite pen? That’s right, shopping for your new favourite pen!
Which is why we’ve put all the stationery you can dream of in one place to give you the best shopping experience. Pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, sharpeners, pencil cases, notebooks, planners, A4 wallets, gift wrap, glue, tape, books, diaries and calendars. And that’s just off the top of our heads!
Browse our huge selection online or pop into your nearest B&M store to see the whole range. Our very own in-store geeks will be happy to help you find what you’re looking for.
The Great Value
With so much beautiful stationery in your life, you could easily spend a fortune let loose in your local high street stationery retailer. And because we know pretty pens and glossy journals make you so very happy, we don’t charge the earth for the same big brands.
Like Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner Pens 25pk for just £8.99 (you’ll have to fork out £17.99 for the same pack in Staples), and Sharpie Electro Pop Fine Point Permanent Markers 24pk, also just £8.99 (a trip to Argos will set you back £14.99!)*
B&M Top Tip: did you know our greetings cards start from just 29p! And we have a huge range of gift bags and wrapping paper from just £1!
The Quality
Just because you haven’t had to break the bank to afford you stationery, doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality.
Buying a pen that looks great and doesn’t cost the earth is important, but we also know it has to make you feel good when you use it. Lyreco’s study reveals that six in 10 office workers find highlighting things or using a pen that writes well actually improves their mood.
With brands like Staedtler, Zebra, Sharpie, Pilot and Bic filling our shelves, the finest quality stationery (and pleasant moods) is a given.
