Welcome to our 100th Blog Entry! To honour this momentous occasion, we've put together a stress test video for our 8-ft Rectangular Plastic Folding Table. It's been about two months since we posted our last stress test video blog on our Tall NES Reliable Round Plastic Folding Cocktail Table. Plastic folding rectangular tables are a staple of the rental industry, and the 8-ft is far and away the most popular size for our rental customers and our banquet hall customers. NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Tables are commercial grade tables, and, as you can see from the video, are capable of holding an incredible amount of weight!

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. To get everyone pumped and ready to attend, back in October we wrote an article which compiled 5 Reasons to Attend The Rental Show. If you're still looking for a reason to go to the show (checking out National Event Supply’s booth #4072 notwithstanding!), check out the article.

Inc Magazine is one of my go-to resources for strategic and tactical tips on business and entrepreneurship. It's modern, relevant and innovative with articles that offer great knowledge for the new and seasoned entrepreneur. Check out this article on growth strategies written by a Benchmark Capital founding partner. "To Get Big, You've Got to Start Small" helps remind us all that the secret to attracting a broad market is to appeal to a tiny, passionate one first.

Pantone is the notorious colour expert and the fashion/home décor/events industries wait with bated breath to hear the newly declared colour of the year. Special Events Magazine gave us a sneak peak at Pantone Colour Experts forecast for Summer 2013. Read this article to get an inside look into the colour's that will be popping up during this summer's events!

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!

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?

It'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!
