Want to make a great first impression when prospective clients come to visit your offices? Pay attention to the lobby or greeting area. Wood and furniture repair or restoration services for commercial properties can save your company money over replacing furniture, and represent an important aspect of marketing your business. A beautifully furnished lobby which is well maintained is important to create an aura of professionalism.
Consider the money you spend on marketing your business to bring in new clients. If the lobby or greeting area looks tired, and the conference table is marred with water rings, it can affect your prospects impression of your business. Why spend money on advertising when the stage hasn't been set for impressing the visitors.
Areas that can make or break your prospect's first impression include:
- Lobbies or greeting areas
- Conference rooms
- Executive suites
- Elevator Cabs
- Company dining areas
- Restrooms
- Hallway areas
- Company auditoriums
- Entry vestibule
The list could go on and on.
Creating a professional area may include leather repair, reupholstering office seating, refinishing the conference room table, repairing cabinets. A color pallete should be selected and the furniture can be refinished to coordinate mismatched furniture into looking unified.
Have you ever walked into an office and were surprised how the furniture appeared? What was your impression of the company and their stability? Did the condition of an office and the office furnishings ever influence your decision whether to work with a company or not?
