Company Store Augmentation Programs Some organizations have a company store program developed by strategic sourcing and purchasing departments
that provide product options with a limited variety. While these programs effectively address core commodities,
they seldom provide a total solution for the niche market needs, or the specific targeted needs for all the various
personalities and application of the total business. The fact is, these selections have a limited general application, an
exposure sensitive shelf life, and limited timeline of excitement value. Resulting in the creation and need of "maverick spend"
and the challenges associated with it. As an approved and preferred resource, the Artistic business model and our in-house
