"Need ideas = what very common things do small biz owners need?"


          

I am forming a non-profit corporation which will help small business owners in my state.

Membership will be free. I want to get special discounts for members. I am looking for ideas for vendors to target for giving discounts to our members. Items/services discounted need to appeal to all small biz owners - from auto repair shops to day care centers to lawyers.

Some of the items offered for discount include the below. I need more ideas.
Office Max + Office Depot
High Speed Internet providers: Comcast cable + Quest DHL
Seller of cell phones. Not used phones. Plan not required.
Cell phone companies
UPS FedEx if franchise only.
Bank
Seller of toner and refurbished laser printer cartridges - discount
Coffee - Discount on online purchases of beans or cards.
Oil change
Chocolates
Wireless credit card transaction machine seller with no plan required.
Wireless internet connection
Voip service provider.
Vendor who sells flash drives online at special price for members:
AAA - free upgrade to 50-mile towing membership for one year.

More ideas welcome and appreciated!!!

THANKS!

Promotional advertising to help them get their message out to prospective clients. Promotional products include everything from ink pens and T-shirts to magnets, stress balls, mouse pads, yardsticks and tape measures, jackets, caps, sport shirts, golf balls and accessories, and much more.

Every product in the Kaeser & Blair 228-page "Best Buys" catalog is discounted everyday. It's available in both hard copy and digital versions. You can see the digital version online at www.kbBestBuys.com

Every business can benefit from the use of promotional items to target niches markets, reward top customers and employees, trade show handouts, Casual Friday attire for employees, new product launch, grand opening commemorative gifts, and more.
