Office Supply Line, Inc.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Office Supply Line, Inc. is an integrated marketer and distributor of “Products for the Office.” OSL differentiates itself from its competition by leveraging innovative marketing programs and technology. It operates in the competitive office supply market as a virtual distributor, leveraging the existing logistical capabilities of its suppliers who provide for inventory logistics, distribution and delivery. OSL focuses on the development and or acquisition of cutting edge technology, sales, marketing and customer service.
Corporate Diversity Solutions:
In December, OSL Holdings announced it had completed the acquisition of 48% of the equity interests in Corporate Diversity Solutions.
This business is a perfect complement to Office Supply Line.
Corporate Diversity Solutions (“CDS”) is a Tier One Diversity Business. Founded by four women who spent the majority of their careers in the Office Products Industry. They took a combined forty years of experience in the industry, formed a partnership and went into business. With the contribution of other family members, that forty years became over one hundred years of combined experience in the Office Products Industry. This has led to their success. As a Diversity Business, CDS enjoys special advantages that allow the Company to prosper and set a real world example for diversity in American business. As a subsidiary of OSL Holdings, CDS will continue as a Diversity Business as the management and majority ownership of CDS continues to qualify as such.
OSL Rewards:
We’ve all seen the success of Groupon. We’ve see the success of merchants using social media platforms like Facebook and now even Twitter. OSLH has a great product underway that will bring a Reward Currency to the marketplace that allows business and customers to use a virtual currency that shoppers early when shopping in retail stores, online, on their mobile devices and through other means.
Planned for a launch early this year, the intent of the reward offering is to design, develop and operate a loyalty program that is based on this virtual “reward currency”. As a member, anyone can earn and redeem this currency at online ecommerce sites, brick and mortar retail stores, through mobile devices and through other service providers. This is the offering of a combination loyalty program and the technology to make those loyalty rewards pay where the consumer chooses.
Obviously the Company sees the potential for OSL Rewards to “go viral” in the minds of consumers, and become very large.
