ConsensusDocs Promotions the NASBP Membership Won't Want to Miss

The ConsensusDocs has announced two promotions that the NASB membership won't want to miss out on. First, ConsensusDocs is offering a 30% discount off ConsensusDocs document packages until May 15, 2016. Most NASBP Members, Affiliates and Associates know they are eligible to receive a generous 20 percent discount off ConsensusDocs contract document packages, using the promo code NASBP400 during checkout at www.ConsensusDocs.org, because NASBP is an endorsing member of the ConsensusDocs coalition.

However, ConsensusDocs is now offering a special 30 percent “Spring Discount” off its contract document packages. This discount is valid off retail pricing and is not to be used for current accounts or combined with other discounts. For NASBP members, affiliates, or associates that have not yet established a ConsensusDocs account, this may be a good opportunity to get started using ConsensusDocs! So save 30% on ConsensusDocs documents by using this promotional code:SPRING30 on ConsensusDocs purchases made by May 15, 2016. 

Secondly, Office Depot, a ConsensusDocs affiliate, is offering ConsensusDocs endorsing members--that's the NASBP membershp--a discount on purchases. To obtain your ConsensusDocs discount, shop online or print off a free Store Purchasing Card at this special ConsensusDocs member Office Depot page. This means that the NASBP mebership, can save up to 80% on over 93,000 office supplies. Shop online or in any Office Depot or OfficeMax store and enjoy free next-day delivery on online orders over $50! Remember that Office Depot and OfficeMax are now one company.

These promotions are just two of the many benefits NASBP is able to offer its membership because of NASBP's participation as an endorsing member of the ConsensusDocs Coaltion.
