SMART BUY


Cost Savings Programs


BPAA members enjoy the same purchasing power normally reserved for Fortune 500 companies. By combining the strength and numbers of BPAA member centers, we are able to form solid Smart Buy partnerships that provide you with national account pricing and tremendous discounts. By participating in these group-purchasing opportunities, BPAA members will see how these savings can add up, proving that “It Pays to Belong.”


More usage means more discounts Participation is not only the key to savings, but it is also the key to discount growth. Typically suppliers will grant just about anyone an initial “perceived” discount to secure new business and then slowly increase pricing, but BPAA demands strong quantifiable discounts that form lasting partnerships. We are only able to demand these strong discounts based on your unified buying habits.


Good usage and total volume growth in a program arms BPAA with more negotiating power to secure bigger and better discounts within that program. Similarly, healthy programs allow us to secure new partnerships with suppliers because a history of unified buying habits demonstrates your worth as a true group- purchasing organization.
