It has been five years since Justin Miller, Todd Miller, Ben Miller, and Mark Light started a quest to serve clients, whom they look at as business partners, by providing fast, efficient, and cost-saving operational commodities. The Millers left Yuletide Office Solutions in 2017 to make that dream a reality.\u00a0Recently,\u00a0Yuletide has sold<\/a> to a firm based in Nashville.\u00a0Highbar Trading Co. is one of a few suppliers left that is based in Memphis, TN. The company has grown exponentially due to its market differentiation strategy, promoting single-sourcing, and civic economics.<\/p>\n The Highbar team practices and preaches civic economics. Since their inception, they have partnered with local car dealerships, banking institutions, insurance companies, financial institutions, and many other entities.\u00a0\"Creating a reciprocal partnership always gives the business on both sides longevity,\" said Todd Miller, co-founder of Highbar Trading Co.\u00a0Studies show that for every $100 spent locally, $68 stays in the community.\u00a0While $100 spent with non-local businesses, only $43 stays in the community.\u00a0This can have a tremendous impact on a macro level.<\/p>\n Local companies can compete with larger competitors.\u00a0\"There is a misconception in many communities that local companies cannot compete with larger conglomerates.\u00a0The truth is, we have much lower overhead than these organizations, which makes our cost to serve less than our competition,\" said Justin Miller, co-founder of Highbar Trading Co.\u00a0A recent study shows that 70% of Americans prefer to\u00a0shop local<\/a>.\u00a0\"This is encouraging for Memphians considering starting their own businesses.\u00a0Since the pandemic, we are seeing many new restaurants and retailers opening around the city of Memphis,\" said Justin Miller.<\/p>\n Purchasing direct from manufacturers, Highbar Trading Co. capitalizes on the aggressive pricing and the variety of over 100,000 items they offer.\u00a0Highbar Trading Co. offers many product categories, including: office supplies, ink\/toner, break room supplies, bottled water, disposable gloves, coffee, packaging supplies, safety supplies, lab supplies, transactional office furniture, contractual office furniture, medical supplies, covid tests, printing, and PPE.\u00a0Essentially, they run the gamut for operational supply needs for any organization.\u00a0More information can be found at\u00a0www.highbartrading.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n About Highbar Trading Co.: \u00a0<\/strong>Highbar Trading Co. is an organization which distributes operational commodities at a low cost to serve using a technology-driven approach to the marketplace.
