Office Depot, Inc. Launches Combined Weekly Ad for Office Depot, OfficeMax Stores

Office Depot and OfficeMax retail customers saw something new in their newspapers Sunday: a single, combined insert representing great savings on products and services being offered at both brands’ retail stores. The move marks the first advertisement where Office Depot and OfficeMax customers will see the two national brands together as one. It’s also one of the most visible milestones undertaken by Office Depot, Inc. (NYSE: ODP), a leading global provider of office products, services, and solutions, to integrate its two legacy Office Depot and OfficeMax brands to provide greater value, product selection and service to customers.

“Bringing together the latest products and services available at Office Depot and OfficeMax into one combined insert will help to position us as a strong, singular company with our customers,” said Tim Rea, executive vice president, marketing for Office Depot, Inc. “The move also reflects our approach in looking at each market holistically for both brands to better understand, engage and service our customers.”

Now One Company. Now Great Savings.

The combined insert offers an easy shopping experience for customers, including common products and offers available at both Office Depot and OfficeMax stores. The insert also features tips on additional ways customers can shop - via website, mobile app or via phone - to further enhance the shopping experience.
