DALLAS, May 22, 2012—Small businesses have long relied on the expertise and resources of Kinko’s, now FedEx Office®, for providing convenient print and shipping solutions to meet their business needs. FedEx Office recognizes its customers during National Small Business Week with the launch of the FedEx Office Business Edge online portal and discount program to help entrepreneurs be productive anywhere, anytime.


The new Business Edge portal will feature content from industry leaders, small business success stories and enrollment information for the new FedEx Office Business Edge program. With this program, small business customers can save anywhere from five percent to 30 percent on qualifying FedEx Office purchases such as signs, banners, printed marketing material and more to enable business success.


“Small businesses are a driving force in the U.S. economy. We are proud to support Small Business Week and are committed to providing customers viable and cost effective solutions with access to our nationwide network of local stores, on-demand printing technology and unrivaled expertise,” said Randy Scarborough, vice president of Marketing of FedEx Office.

Customers can take advantage of the 29-cent color copy in-store promotion on May 23, 2012 at self-serve printing at any of the U.S. FedEx Office Copy & Ship Centers.
