Spring continues to roll on here at National Event Supply. We received containers at both our Vancouver and Toronto warehouses and in each case they brought us products that we didn't have in stock. At our Toronto Warehouse, we received a shipment of wood cruiser tables, and at our Vancouver location we received three new wood tables: NES Wood Serpentine Folding Tables, 5-ft NES Wood Half-Moon Folding Tables, and 8-ft NES Wood Folding Harvest Tables.

We've had NES Wood Cruiser Tables in our Toronto for almost two years now. Available in three sizes (24 inch, 30 inch, and 36 inch), two shapes (square and round), and two heights (29 inch and 42.5 inch), you can mix and match the qualities you want to get the tables that you need. Each table set comes with the desired table top size and shape, the pole that you need for the table height you want, a steel connector which gets screwed to the underside of the table top and a base with adjustable feet and a polished top. All of the piece can be bought seperately, and if you want both tall poles and short poles, we can do that to. We'll be filling backorders as the week goes on, so if you interested in getting some of these tables for your summer weddings, you should act now.

In Vancouver, we will be receiving three new wood tables which we have never stocked in any of our warehouses. The first of these is a 60 inch half-moon table. This is basically a 60 inch diameter table that is cut in half. These are commercial quality tables, that feature super-strong steel legs, and Canadian plywood tops. The legs on the table are narrower than on a standard 60 inch diameter and are located along the straight edge of the half-circle. Like our other wood tables, the NES 60 Inch Wood Half-Moon Folding Tables feature legs and support beams that are bolted through the table top. We'll be getting some of these tables in our Toronto warehouse in the next couple of weeks, and as soon as I have some pictures I'll be posting them to Twitter and Facebook!

The second table we'll be receiving in Vancouver is our new NES Wood Serpentine Folding Tables. These tables have an out diameter of 10 feet and an inner diameter of five feet. Again, these tables are commercial grade with grey steel legs and Canadian plywood tops. The legs and support beams are bolted through the top for extra strength and the table top is clear-coated to keep it looking great. We'll also be getting some NES Wood Serpentine Tables in our Toronto Warehouse in the next couple of weeks and I'll be posting pictures of this fantastic table as soon as I have them.

The final table is going to be a Vancouver exclusive for the next month or two. We've been asked by customers for a wider "harvest" table, and we've managed to get our factory to produce one that we're happy with. With a wider table, you need to make sure that the supports and legs can handle the extra weight. The NES Wood Harvest Folding Table can handle the extra weight with no problems. It features enhanced supports to keep the table stable even under the heaviest loads. The table itself is 96 inches long and 42 inches wide, allowing for additional table room during family-style meals.

Late February, right after The Rental Show is when things start hopping here at National Event Supply. We've been so busy that even with the Family Day long weekend, we haven't done a write-up about our time at the show. We had a great time meeting new people from all over the United States and Canada. From Alaska to Texas and from California to New Brunswick, we talked to a lot of great folks who were interested in our fantastic products. But I'll let Dennis tell you all about it later this week or early next.

It's that time of year again. That's right, it's time for The Rental Show in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada. The National Event Supply Trade Show Team managed to fly out of snow-bound Toronto on Saturday, only 5 and half hours later than they'd planned and got to The Sands Expo and Convention Centre to set up our booth. This year, we have the biggest booth we've ever had and it's filled with our fantastic NES Reliable Plastic Folding Chairs, our durable NES Wood Tables, and several new product lines like our Eclisse and Copa Glassware and our Polar White dinnerware. Our NES Trade Show Team will be on hand to help answer any questions that you may have and to show you all the great features of our many products. So, if you're in Las Vegas for the show, head on down to booth 4072 and talk to Dennis, Diana, Bill, or Jonathan and find out why you always win with National Event Supply!

We've been working on our website revamp for the past 3 months, and have finally managed to get things tested and up on our live site. We've gotten rid of the bright green sidebars from the previous version, and have updated the base to make the website more friendly for touchscreen based devices like the Apple iPhone and iPad, the Blackberry Playbook, the Microsoft Surface, and Android based phones and tables. With the new website framework, you'll be able to see larger pictures of our products by clicking on links or the picture itself. We think we've gotten most of the bugs out, but if you do run into any, please do let us know!

While we achieved our goal of making the website for touchscreen/mobile device, we're still in the process of making our website bilingual. We're currently working on putting together a French version of our website, complete with all the bells and whistles. Stephanie has put together translations of all of our website pages, and we hope to be able to launch the French version of the website by the end of February. We'll be updating our blog, our twitter feed, and our facebook friends when the French version of the site goes live.

As always if you're interested in a quote for any of our products, or you simply have a question, please feel free to drop us a line. Just as a reminder, February 18th is Family Day in Ontario, and as such we will be closed that day. Our Ontario-based shipping partners will also be closed that day, so if you are looking for products that week you may want to get your order in early.

Every month, National Event Supply stumbles across articles and blog posts that we think are fabulous and could add additional value to your business so we thought we'd share them with you on a regular basis!

With only a week and a half to go until the Rental Show, you don't want to miss out on what is sure to be one of the most valuable shows of the season.

For our Golf Course customers out there, just because it’s the off season, doesn't mean you can't be doing the tradeshow circuit generating business for the upcoming year. The NGCOA's Winter Magazine Golf Business Canada had a great article to remind us all of the key tactics to ensure a successful trade show. This article "How to Successfully Exhibit at Consumer Golf Shows" has tips that transcend all industries in how to ensure you’re best utilizing your show time, and generating a return on investment.

To end this months round up I thought an apropos article about a meal's best and final course—dessert! Restaurant Central talked with some of Canada’s finest pastry and dessert chefs on the evolution of the dessert and what's in store for this year. Check out the article "Deconstructing the Biggest Dessert Trends" to learn more about some of the finest desserts to wow the crowd.

Check back in a month for the next favourite finds! Until then, have a great weekend!

When we put together our Table and Chair Catalogue it was a huge undertaking. We spent the better part of 2011 taking pictures of all of our products and cleaning up the pictures for publication. We wrote copy for the catalogue, describing our outstanding products, and providing reasons for you, the customer, to purchase our fine wares. We learned a lot of software, and spent time looking for companies to print our first stab at a catalogue. When the catalogue came out we were thrilled. We finally had something we could put into the hands of customers and potential customers.

And then, shortly after we received the catalogues, they started going out of date. We started adding to our product lines, expanding our offerings. There were new folding chairs, new folding tables, new chair carts, and new dollies. We had expanded our product lines, offering chairs in new colours. There were new cushions for our resin chiavari chairs, and a blow-mold stacking chair too.

Luckily, in mid 2012, Stephanie joined our team and we put her to work revising our table and chair catalogue. She added the new products we already had in our warehouse and included products that we were expecting for spring 2013. Stephanie worked hard on the 2013 Table and Chair catalogue, and now I'm pleased to announce that the 2013 Table and Chair Catalogue is available!

This 28 page catalogue contains all the products that we are offering in our Toronto, Vancouver, and Indianapolis Warehouses. It includes all of our plastic folding tables, our wood folding tables, our plastic folding cocktail tables, and our wood cruiser tables. You'll find information about our Plastic Folding Chairs, learn about our resin chiavari chairs, and be the first to see our NEW Folding Pedestal Tables.

Now that the 2013 Table and Chair Catalogue is complete, Stephanie has begun working on putting together our 2013 Tabletop Catalogue and hopes to have it finished shortly. She is also putting together a 2013 French Catalogue which we hope will be later this spring. If you interested in receiving one of our new 2013 Table and Chair Catalogues, please fill out this form and we'll have one sent out to you as quickly as possible. If you have any questions about any of our products, or would like to talk to one of our sales reps, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help with all of your needs!
