Coming Soon!

As I previously mentioned, we're absolutely thrilled when a container of new products arrives at our door. On Monday we received a container of porcelain which included our new Polar White Line. We've take a good look at all the pieces in the line and we have to say that we're absolutely thrilled with the quality of porcelain that the factory has provided us. Our new Polar White Line is sure to be a big hit. If you're curious about it, please let us know and we'll see if we can get you a sample.

NES Reliable Folding Pedestal Table

We didn't just receive our new Polar White line of dinnerware on our most recent container. We also received a large order of our larger rectangular platters. We're happy to say that we've got all of our rectangular serving platters back in stock prior to the busy season. These porcelain platters come in numerous sizes and are perfect for everything from serving a turkey to individual use as a plate.

Coming Soon


We just received word that a couple of containers that we've been waiting for are finally on their way. In the first container which is expected by the end of January, we have our new NES Reliable Folding Pedestal Table. They are just as strong as our regular NES Reliable High Plastic Folding Cocktail Tables, but instead of a scissor type leg, they have a pedestal design. This innovative design allows for the use of standard spandex cruiser tablecloths and allows for some incredibly innovative designs. With the NES Reliable Folding Pedestal Table, you can install a led light (not included) in the centre column area and wow your customers. And unlike traditional pedestal table, the NES Reliable Folding Pedestal Tables are one piece. You will no longer need to worry about missing bases, poles, or table tops! NES Reliable Folding Pedestal Tables will be available at the end of January 2013 and will have an introductory price of $89.95/ea.

 

Royal Blue on Grey Plastic Folding Chairs

Another product which we will be stocking in Q1 of 2013 is the Royal Blue on Grey NES Reliable Plastic Folding Chairs. This particular colour combination has been a special order item for the past few years, but will be a stocking colour near the end of February. With the addition of Royal Blue on Grey, we will be stocking 8 different colour combinations: white on white, black on black, grey on grey, tan on tan, brown on tan, burgundy on grey, and slate blue on grey. Looking forward to Q2 of 2013, we hope to add Black on Grey plastic folding chairs to our stocking line-up.

 

2013 is going to be a great year for New Products from National Event Supply. We hope you'll follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with all of the additions. If you have any suggestions for products you think we should add or if you have any questions about any new products we've announced, I hope you'll drop us a line!

National Event Supply Introduces Polar White!

2013 has just started and already we've received our first container. This container was packed to the rooftop and took the better part of the day to unload. Inside was more than 50,000 pounds of porcelain that we'd ordered about three and a half months ago. With this container of porcelain we were able to replenish our stock of rectangular platters, our Quadrato Dinnerware, and our Hotelier Dinnerware before the busy spring buying season.

The container also had a whole new line of dinnerware that we're excited to introduce to the market. It is with great pleasure that we introduce our new line "Polar White". This 7 piece set currently consists of a dinner plate, a dessert plate, a side plate, a soup plate, a cereal bowl, and a stacking cup. Polar White is contemporary in design, with subtle circular embossing on the rim. It's perfect for casual events and can be dressed up for a more formal look.

This porcelain is a purer white, when compared to our other dinnerware lines, and represents good value for the price. We currently have Polar White available in larger quantities, and it is available for immediate shipment. If you would like to take a look at our Polar White line, you can stop by our showroom in Mississauga, or visit our booth at any of the upcoming trade shows that we'll be attending. The first trade show where we'll be showcasing our Polar White line will be at the BC CRA Regional Trade Show in Surrey, BC just outside of Vancouver.

If you can't make it to our showroom, and don't want to wait until we're at a trade show in your neighbourhood, feel free to take a look at some of the pictures that will be in our new tabletop catalogue which will be out later this spring.

We hope to ship the back orders of porcelain later this week. If you have any questions about our Polar White Line, or any of our other products, please don't hesitate to contact one of our helpful sales staff!

Ringing in the New Year!

2013 CalendarWell, we're back. The staff of National Event Supply are back from their Christmas Vacations and are feeling recharged and ready to start the New Year off with a bang. Projects that have been months in the making are quickly coming to an end. We have a new catalogue with all of our new products in the final phases and (almost) ready to print. The website is being dramatically revamped (again) with an eye towards the mobile web, and improved useability. New business cards have arrived and our new calendars are up and keeping the big dates in our minds.

Spring Buying

Winter has just begun, but it's time to start planning for Spring Purchases. At National Event Supply, we pride ourselves on being a stocking warehouse. We always try to keep things in stock so that if you need 50 folding tables shipped to you immediately, we can ship you 50 tables. We want you to be able to call us up and order a dozen plates (or 100 dozen plates) secure in the knowledge that we'll have them. Of course, sometimes we misjudge our stock levels, and run out of things like folding cocktail tables and white resin folding chairs. That's why we encourage people to let us know what they are interested in fairly early so we can order items accordingly. If you're interested in plastic folding tables for April, let us know now and we can put together a quote for you. Even if you don't want/need the folding tables until later in the spring, we'd like to know about it early enough so we can work to make sure we don't run out of the tables before you purchase yours.

Custom Orders

Now is also the time to inquire about custom orders. Custom orders typically take 90-120 days for manufacturing and shipping to our warehouse. If you're looking for a piece of custom dinnerware, or a particular colour of Chiavari Chair Cushion, now is the time to contact one of our sales reps and let them know what you're interested in.

Trade Shows

January, February, and March are also filled with trade shows. The National Event Supply trade show team will be doing a trade show on each of the last three weekends of January. On January 11 and 12, the trade show team will be in Surrey, BC for the BC CRA Regional Trade Show. On January 19, Dennis and the trade show team will be in Alliston for the CRA Ontario Tabletop Show. The trade show team ends the month back in BC at the BC Foodservice Expo on January 27 and 28. Dennis and the trade show team then get a couple of weeks to catch their breath before they head on down to Las Vegas for The Rental Show. You can get more information about each of the trade shows were exhibiting at here.

2013 has just started and already it's shaping up to be a big year. If you have any questions about our products, about custom orders, or about our trade show schedule, please don't hesitate to drop one of our sales reps a line!
