You may already know that we often talk about the benefits of using a local hire company to you, for a multitude of reasons, some of which are financial, and others of which relate to service. Suffice to say that if you do need to rent glassware for events, then a Google search along the lines of ‘glassware hire company near me’ is as good a place to start as anywhere!
Today’s blog article from our team looks at the best reasons to choose a glassware hire company near me which will hopefully save you time, money and effort when the time comes.
Whether you need to hire wine glasses for a society ball, hire Champagne flutes for an awards ceremony, or hire wine and Champagne glasses for a wedding, you can count on the team at Event Hire UK to provide you with the winning formula.
As a national glassware hire company operating from regional hubs, of course we’re always going to say that choosing a glassware hire company near me is always going to be beneficial, but here are the reasons why, so you can make up your own mind.
A local company, whatever you are looking to buy or hire, is always going to be a better option in terms of the quality of service you receive. The locality of the business to you 99 times out of 100 is going to mean that you’ll receive a better service, especially in the events world where things often change at the last minute. We all like to feel as though we’re getting a proactive service, rather than a reactive service.
At the same time, we all know that things definitely don’t always go according to plan! If you choose a ‘glassware hire company near me’, then if your numbers change – up or down – or you have sudden venue access or timing restrictions imposed onto you at the last minute, then a local glassware rental company is probably going to be able to accommodate these changes much more easily than a glassware rentals company that is miles away.
Put simply, dealing locally is easier. You’ve always got that option of picking up extra glassware, other tableware or furniture requirements yourself in person at the last minute. Especially during the summer months, you’ll find that there are 2 key areas that will determine whether you’ll be able to source the event equipment you need. Firstly, it’s the availability of the stock you want, and secondly, it’s the availability of transport and resource to get the event equipment to your venue. By self-collecting and returning, you knock out 50% of these problems in one fell swoop! It has to be easier by searching for a ‘glassware hire company near me’, rather than leaving it to chance!
Another good reason to deal with a local event glass hire company is that you can visit them. Some hire companies have a showroom, or at least will be able to take you on a ‘guided tour’ of their facility so that you can view the wine and Champagne glasses in person. It’s all well and good viewing a picture online, but can you really beat seeing it up close and personal? Their showroom might have table set-ups already in place, or perhaps you could contact your glassware rental company in advance and ask them to set it up for you so you can see it in real life.
Either way, a visit will enable you to see the event equipment you are hiring, as well as give you confidence in the quality of the service you are likely to receive. For instance, when you walk around their facility, does it seem organised, or chaotic? When you are viewing the glassware and other event tableware hire items, is it in good condition – ie clean, not scratched or chipped? These are all vital clues for when you are choosing your ‘glassware hire company near me’.
In a similar vein, when you visit your event glassware rentals local company, you’ll be able to build a business relationship with their sales team, which can be worth its weight in gold, especially when you’ve moved from plan A to plan Z at the last minute.
Pick their brains – what are other clients of theirs using? What is on-trend this year? What are their most popular glassware hire products? After all, so far in this article, we’ve only mentioned wine glasses and Champagne flutes, but glassware hire is much more than this – it also includes water glasses, tumblers, Martini glasses, shot glasses and even water jugs and glass charger plates, to name just a few!
And last, but by no means least, when you choose to Google ‘glassware hire company near me’, you’ll be choosing an option that is likely going to be more financially viable for you. What do we mean by this? Well, most event equipment hire companies will charge you for delivery and collection to and from your event venue.
This transport fee is usually based on distance between their depot and your event venue and, therefore, the cost of fuel, resource, time, vehicle depreciation and so on. OK, so it might not be as in-depth as that all the time, but it’s fair to assume that the further you are away from the hire company, the more chance there is that your transport charges will be higher, and vice versa of course.
By choosing a local, rental glassware company, therefore, you’ll minimise your transport charges, which always helps you with your event budget. Let’s face it, we all have budgets to work to, and every little helps!
So, if those aren’t enough reasons for you to choose a ‘glassware hire company near me’, then we’re not sure what is! In summary, it will save you time, effort, hassle and money!
