The Rental Show, Website Re-Design, et une autre langue

The Rental ShowIt'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.

Spring is in the Air!
Stormy Weather

In Toronto, January 30 is typically the coldest day of the year. Not this year. This year, it was a spring-like 14C outside, and aside from the rain, beautiful. And while the rest of the country may not be enjoying our spring-like weather (it was -29C with a feels like of -44C in Saskatchewan where my mom lives), Spring is just around the corner.

This beautiful weather got me thinking about outdoor weddings and outdoor events. If you have been putting together outdoor weddings for a while, you know all about Wedding-Style Event Chairs. And if your new in the business, you've probably seen them in weddings and events that they show on TV. It's a very beautiful, very simple chair that brides and wedding planners love. This bright, white, chair is easy to set-up and take down and stacks well making storage a breeze.

 

NES Reliable Resin Folding Chairs

Here at National Event Supply, we sell our NES Reliable White Resin Folding Chair. As the name states, it's made out of resin, or plastic. It's white all the way through, so that scratches aren't visible. With the resin chair, you don't have to worry about repainting scratches like you do with the wood chair. The resin also makes the chairs perfect for outdoor use. The resin contains an additive that protects the chairs from yellowing due to UV rays, and the resin easily wipes dry if the are accidently left out in the rain. The chairs aren't just beautiful, they're incredibly strong. In a previous blog, we did a stress test to show just how strong they were. They would be an incredible addition to your inventory.

 

Spring is a time of rebirth and this spring, we hope to introduce a bunch new products. From new products to new product categories, we'll be rolling new items out as we finalize deals with our factories. We hope to be announcing some of these products later in February after The Rental Show in Las Vegas. If you're at the show, we hope you'll stop by booth 4072 and talk to Dennis and the rest of the NES Trade Show Team about all of our products. If you can't make it to the show, why not request one of our catalogues?

How Strong are Tall Plastic Folding Cocktail Tables?

Bag of QuestionsIt's been a little over a month since we posted our last stress test video blog on our NES Reliable Square Plastic Folding Card Table. It's taken us a little time to get back into the swing of things, but we have a new stress test video—this time starring our Tall NES Reliable Round Plastic Folding Cocktail Tables. We love this high top table and are frequently asked just how much weight it will hold—so now it is time to find out! How much weight will it take to cause the high top table to collapse? Will Dennis make our Resin Chiavari Chair Collapse when he stands on it holding a 20kg bag of road salt?? Can I come up with a third question that's halfway reasonable??? Apparently not, but you should watch the video and find out just what it takes to break a Tall NES Reliable Round Plastic Folding Cocktail Table!

Now that you've see just how strong our NES Reliable Round Plastic Folding Cocktail Tables are, if you have any questions about them, please feel free to contact one of our incredible sales reps. They'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about our Cocktail tables or any of our other fine products!

New Catalogue for the Trade Show Season!

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.

Table and Chairs CatalogueLuckily, 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!

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!
