Enoch Office Equipment is Proud to Welcome Mike Mims to the Enoch Family

February 8th, 2013

Enoch Office Equipment has evolved right alongside our industry, from the typewriter, to the calculator, to the fax, to the copier, right up to the fully connected digital systems of today. Over the years, despite all of these changes, we have remained committed to providing our customers with office solutions today and the assurance that we will be there to support them tomorrow. No matter what the product, Enoch will continue to offer the same high level of customer service, support and expertise that we have been providing Baltimore businesses since 1961.

 

Products change, but our commitment to our customers remains constant!

 

And while technology plays an important role is this pledge, at the end of the day, business is still done by people. That is why we at Enoch pride ourselves on hiring only the best employees around. So we are happy to welcome Mike Mims into the Enoch family.

 

Mike comes to Enoch after 23 years as both a furniture and fitness installer. He was born and raised right here in Baltimore, Maryland, and, as you can imagine, the 33-year old father of four (three girls and one boy) was more than a little excited about the Ravens recent victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.  But aside from watching the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens, Mike, who is engaged to his beautiful bride-to-be Erin, also enjoys martial arts, working out at LA Fitness, and kicking back to listen to a little country music.

 

Mike, Welcome to the Enoch Family!

 

At Enoch Office Equipment, we are very proud of our team and the tenure that our individuals have in their field. We understand that to consistently achieve the level of service our clients demand, we must employ the most qualified sales, service and administrative professionals in our industry.

 

If you have any questions or wish to enquire about future employment opportunities, contact Enoch by calling (410) 561-7600 or click here today! You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter as well!

 

Once you join Enoch Office Equipment, you will embark on a career path that will offer an extremely competitive compensation package that includes terrific company benefits, aggressive incentive programs and the opportunity for advancement and long-term growth.

With the Super Bowl just Days away, Baltimore is going Raven Wild!

February 1st, 2013

With the Super Bowl just days away, the people of Baltimore have been overcome with purple fever. Men, women, and children alike are showing their Ravens’ pride in unique ways. Some people religiously adhere to Purple Friday, wearing their Ravens’ gear to the office. And Enoch Office Equipment is no different.

 

 

Still it is business as usual around Enoch. Rick Donovan could still be seen networking all around Baltimore. After all, at Enoch, “it’s networking morning, noon, and night.” Only this week, there was a purple hue to his networking groups.

 

 

Even the youngsters are ready for Sunday’s Ravens vs. 49ers showdown. Below is a video from one of Enoch’s accounts, the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Students in Sally Bogucki’s class can be seen and definitely heard chanting the Ravens fight song, “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes.

 

 

 

Some people even decorated their homes with Ravens’ flags and spray painted their front lawns with the Ravens’ logo, like our own Joe Enoch.

 

 

Some businesses even illuminated their building, covering the exterior in Ravens’ purple. Oh yea, we did that too!

 

 

We guess all that is left to say is…Go Ravens!

In order for the MarketPlace to function on the MFP, installation of the bizhub MarketPlace application must be performed by an authorized service technician, like Enoch Office Equipment.

The Power of Networking: BNI Networking Group sees $1.5 Mil in Referrals

January 4th, 2013

If we have told you once, we have told you a thousand times: Joe Enoch, Rick Donovan, and the rest of the employees at Enoch Office Equipment believe in networking. As Rick once said, “at Enoch, it’s networking morning, noon, and night.” But what’s the big deal? What makes networking so great?

 

Networking, when done right, can be a powerful business tool. And if you don’t believe us, just take a look at the numbers reported by Rick’s Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group, which meets every Friday at the Springhouse in Pikesville from 7:30-9:00 am. In July, we reported that this networking group, of which Rick is the president, had already generated $1,001,393 in referrals. Well 2012 is over and the final figures are in.

 

In 2012, the Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group generated more than $1,500,000 in referrals between its 27 members.

 

“That’s a lot for just a little networking group,” said Rick. “We have an unwritten rule: referrals must be warm because just throwing out a name doesn’t help anybody.”

 

After all, that is what networking is all about, helping one another generate business. And no one benefits from a cold lead…NOBODY!

 

Interested in joining the Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group?


“We are always looking for members,” said Rick. “Commercial Realtor, Property Manager, Moving Company, Payroll Service, Electrical contractor and Commercial Janitorial Service are a few of the categories we are looking to fill.”

 

If you have any questions about Networking, please contact Enoch by calling (410) 561-7600 or click here today!

Enoch again partnered with WNST & Helping Up Mission this Holiday Season

December 21st, 2012

Enoch Office Equipment employee Rick Donovan once again partnered with WNST radio personalities Drew Forrester, Glenn Clark and WNST CEO Nestor Aparicio to collect and deliver coats and clothing to Baltimore’s Helping Up Mission, a faith based initiative dedicated to helping not only the homeless of Baltimore, but also those fighting addiction, or individuals struggling to get back on their feet after being released from prison.

 

Throughout this year Enoch Office was a designated ‘drop off” location for the coat and clothing drive.

 

This partnership began in 2010, when Forrester, the host of WNST’s “Morning Reaction,” asked his listeners to bring him coats, coats he planned to handout to the homeless men and women of Baltimore city.

 

“I hoped to get 25 coats,” said Forrester, not expecting to generate a lot of interest.

 

Forrester got more than he had expected – 232 coats to be exact! Forrester then took those coats downtown, in a van donated by Joe Enoch, to an amazing facility called Helping Up Mission and distributed those coats to the needy men and women of Baltimore City.

 

Three years later, Forrester and Enoch are still getting together each and every holiday season to collect and distribute coats to the less fortunate.

 

 

During a holiday season that is marred nowadays by greed and commercialism, it is nice to know that philanthropic events like this still take place. Everyone here at Enoch would like to thank you for your generous donations!

 

“Seeing the gratitude of those receiving these [clothing] items – Is just tremendous,” said Forrester.

 

To learn more about the Helping Up Mission and how your donations have helped them in their efforts, please visit their website at www.helpingupmission.org. And if you have any questions or want to know how to get involved with the Helping Up Mission, please contact Enoch by calling (410) 561-7600 or click here today!

Business Tips: How to Cut Business Postage Costs

December 14th, 2012

As a small business owner, the difference between success and failure can be as simple as eliminating wasteful spending. And the expense of postage is a great place to start, especially with the price of postage set to rise next month.

 

Postage Prices on the Rise


  1. First-Class Mail single-piece letters will increase by $0.01 to $0.46
  2. Postcards will increase by $0.01 to $0.33
  3. Prices for all products (Mailing and Shipping services) will increase by 4%
  4. Mailing Services, such as regular letters and advertising matter, will increase 2.6%.

 

These new prices become effective on Jan. 27, 2013. And while they may not seem like much, they can quickly add up, especially if your company sends a lot of mail. Luckily, FP Mailing Solutions can help!

 

FP Mailing Solutions eliminates the need for costly rate changes and maintenance plans with all inclusive programs from $14.95/month. To learn more, contact Enoch! As a Gold Dealer for FP Mailing Solutions, we are proud to be the fastest growing mail machine provider in Maryland!

 

If you have any questions about FP Mailing Solutions, please contact Enoch by calling (410) 561-7600 or click here today!

Section 179 Tax Deduction: There isn’t much Time left!

December 7th, 2012

As part of the IRS tax code, Section 179 gives small business owners a one-year tax break when they invest in and install office equipment or qualified business software. However, the Section 179 tax deduction only applies to equipment purchased before December 31, 2012. So time is running out!

 

Small businesses, like yours, can take advantage of Section 179 to write-off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment (new or used) and software for one year, instead of adhering to typical five- to seven- year depreciation schedules. Under Section 179, you can expense up to $139,000 as a deduction as long as total purchases do not exceed $560,000.

 

Section 179 deduction is expected to be reduced to just $25,000 in 2013.

 

Bonus Depreciation: This bonus deduction, which can be combined with the Section 179 deduction, allows for an additional write-off of 50% of the undepreciated balance for capital expenditures and depreciable property (i.e., manufacturing equipment, computers, software, etc.).  This bonus depreciation is scheduled to expire after December 31, 2012.

 

Act Now Before the Tax Deduction of Section 179 is Reduced!


If you have any questions about Section 179, please contact Enoch by calling (410) 561-7600 or click here today!

Rick Donovan’s Networking Tips: Networking Morning, Noon, and Night!

November 30th, 2012

As a third generation, locally owned family company, we at Enoch Office Equipment have learned a thing or two over the years. And as a family business, we pass this way of doing business down from generation to generation. And one of the most important things we have learned, as 2011 sales representative of the year Rick Donovan is about to explain, is that networking, when done right, can be a powerful business tool.

 

Enoch Office Equipment President Joe Enoch, Rick, and the entire Enoch team strongly believe in networking!

 

As Rick once said, at Enoch “it’s networking morning, noon, and night.”

 

Rick Donovan’s Networking Tips

 

  1. Build Trust: Be genuine and authentic, always building trust. Always ask how you can help your fellow networkers. After all, networking is about building relationships. You are there for them, not yourself…
  2. Be Prepared: Preparation is key. Think about the people you might be meeting and check Google and LinkedIn to gather additional background information. Also start thinking about some open ended questions you might use.
  3. Show you Care: Remember your fellow networkers’ names and what they do.
  4. Don’t be all Business: Start a conversation on a light note and try to find common ground. You want the conversation to feel relaxed and casual.
  5. Give Referrals to get Referrals: Be sure to give good referrals and if possible contact the referrals to inform them of person contacting them.
  6. Have a Clear Message: Have a clear message of what your company does and what differentiates you from everybody else.
  7. Your Actions have Consequences: When given referrals quickly follow through. Remember your actions reflect on the person who gave you the referral.

 

There are several reasons that have allowed Enoch able to evolve along with our industry, from the typewriter of the 1960′s and 70′s to the fax of the 1980′s to the digital color output devices and document management systems of today. And one of these reasons is networking!

 

If you have any questions about Networking, please contact Enoch by calling (410) 561-7600 or click here today!

Recapping MIAA Championship Weekend!

 

For the first time ever, in 2011, all three Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) conferences held title games and Enoch was there, sponsoring the event! In 2012, once again…The Title was Earned on the Field. And Enoch was there again, sponsoring the event.

 

MIAA C Conference Championship

 

No. 20 St. Frances Academy 30, Severn School 25

 

“Severn played a great game, it was a tremendous football game and all of my guys played extremely well, I couldn’t have asked for anything more,” said St. Frances coach Messay Hailemariam.

 

MIAA B Conference Championship

 


No. 9 St. Paul’s School 28, No. 16 John Carroll School 27 (OT)

 

“We were the better team today,” John Carroll coach Rich Stichel, Jr. “We just didn’t come out with the victory.”

 

MIAA A Conference Championship

 


No. 1 Gilman School 35, No. 2 Calvert Hall College 7

 

“It’s the most complete team, our defense is unbelievable and the offense is punishing, it’s my kind of team,” said Gilman coach Biff Poggi. “I’m really happy for the kids. This [championship] was probably the most special.” It was also Gilman’s 11th championship in the MIAA era.

 

 

Enoch printed out placards (pictured above) to help each team’s fans root for their team. And, at the end of the day, everyone had a great time!
