Office moving made easy. Here's how!

ATLANTA-You have the customers. You have the trucks. You need a higher profit margin. How does office moving sound? According to Ed Katz, head of the newly-formed International Office Moving Institute, a division of Office Moving Systems, Inc. located here, office moving is an area where furniture dealers could make as much as 35% more profit.

Office Moving Systems, Inc. markets and distributes commercial moving equipment and specialized products for the commercial moving industry including products patented by Katz like the spider crane and space gobblers which form the basis of the "boxless" move where desks and lateral file are moved fully loaded without damage to the furniture or contents.

Also, Office Moving Systems, Inc. offers training seminars on office moving. Katz' university of office moving teaches marketing and sales, move and reconfiguration estimating, and operations.

A number of unrelated factors have fallen into place over the past few years to produce a favorable climate for contract furniture dealers to diversify into office moving. Customer expectations, new methods, tools, training and changes in the law that deregulated the moving business combined with profit potential have made office moving an attractive option.

According to Katz, furniture dealers and companies offering related products and services can realize profits by cultivating business with existing customers using equipment they already have. "Faced with sagging sales and eroding margins, furniture dealers can generate more profitable business by adding office moving to their list of services," said Katz. "Considering existing customer relationships, offering one-stop shopping is a natural."
