It is the universal decider of disputes. A game passed down through generations to help solve the simple but most contentious everyday issues: Who gets the last piece of pizza? Whose unstacks the dishwasher? Who does the coffee run?
To celebrate the expansion of Staples.com.au into Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, and its new online Paper, Scissors, Ink game, Staples brought the World Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) Champion Down Under.
As part of his Australian tour lucky Melbournians had a chance to pit their skills against World RPS Champion Tim Conrad at the Staples’ Victorian launch on Friday, May 20, 2011. From noon, the 23-year-old – who is being flown to Oz from small town Taylor, Michigan in the USA – showed off his skills to the Australian public at Federation Square, Melbourne.
For those who could'nt make it to Federation Square, the arrival of the World RPS Champion coincides with the launch of Staples’ free online Paper, Scissors, Ink game. Allowing Aussies to share in some simple fun by playing live against friends or stranger, the game is hosted exclusively at www.staples.com.au/game. Players will go into the draw to win a trip to Los Angeles, $1000 spending money and tickets to the Staples Center (a world-class arena for sports and entertainment).
Staples is dedicated to making life easy for Australian small businesses and excited to expand its no-fuss values into Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
Richard Haigh, head of Staples.com.au, says: “Staples is well known in many countries but being new to Australia we wanted to do something fun and unique that illustrates our different approach to office product supply. Buying office products may not be the highlight of your week but who says it can’t be a bit of fun?”
Offering a wide range of office products (of course including ink, paper and scissors!), Staples is dedicated to making it easy for small businesses to buy office products online.
