Ricoh Global Eco Action

As a part of energy saving activities participated in by all employees, the Ricoh group is setting June 5—World Environment Day—this year as Ricoh Global Eco Action Day when people should consider and take action for global energy saving. Ricoh group companies around the world will participate, turning off the lights at major facilities and on billboards. Individuals are also being called on to take actions such as turning off unneeded lights.If all employees and their families across the world work on this together, we can even expand the effect from energy saving to helping preserve the environment as a whole. On this day, we ask everyone to THINK about the environment and to begin to ACT where they can.

Think & Act:
For instance, conscious of the resulting energy savings, we can all take small actions to make things better: the person who commutes by car can try riding a train, bus, or bicycle instead, the person who automatically rides the office elevator can try taking the stairs sometimes, and the person who finds lights and OA equipment on but not in use can turn them off.

If everybody finishes their daily work on time and leaves the office, electricity for office lighting, OA equipment, and air conditioning is saved. But if even one person remains in the office, he uses electricity. He may say that he knows he should leave earlier but it is difficult. At least during the summer solstice period, when days are longest, why not leave the office on time and enjoy your after-work hours?

Does your child tell you: “Daddy, you are leaving the lights on!”? Why not have everybody in the family think about the environment on this day? For instance, participate in "Candle Night" by turning off electric lights, spending time by candle light, and looking up at the night sky. You may find an opportunity to discuss some things normally hard to talk about.

Just things to think about. This is our earth, so lets do our part.

We Won’t Lose to Competition! Know your printer / copier before you Buy!

We Won’t Lose to Competition!

The Copier Group LLC.
Story by, Ben A. Baker.
28, Feb 2008

SALT LAKE CITY (TCG) -- So many days go by and the current consumers of today believe that there is no rebuttal to pricing. When a customer gets a quote, they usually go out and get a few more. They then finalize their purchase on the lowest bidder, with out calling back the first couple bidders to find out if their lowest price could be beaten.

The Copier Group refuses to be the company that doesn’t get your business. With over 20 years of quality sales and service, do you think that we want to lose our future customers to the poor competition that’s out there today? Of course not. This is why we have placed our customers on a pedestal, letting them know that if you get a bid by another copier dealer; you should give us a call back.

There is a great chance that we could save you money on the deal and give you a higher quality product than anyone out there. We believe in our product so much that we know you’ll be back for more. Here is a little secret that most of the copier companies don’t want you to know about Ricoh.

Our systems are so advanced that the competition can’t keep up. We produce our engines for our multifunctional systems at a higher speed, then slow them down to meet our customers printing and copying needs; as well as market value.

Our competition takes their systems that are a lower, slower speed and then over clocks them to make them faster. The reason for this is product is produced at a lower cost and they make more money in the long run.

The sad reality is that you get stuck with a copier that breaks down more frequently and that hurts your productivity. So yes, we spend more money on our systems to keep them working and running more efficiently. Why? Because it makes us the best, yes, number 1 in the world, when brand-X is only number 4. But, number 4 is not bad for the competition, when selling garbage in a pretty case with lots of marketing material to back it up.
