The Importance of Office Furniture for First Impressions We have all heard that you only get one chance to make a good first impression, and of course this is true. However, the bonus is that over time you can recover from a bad first start (although it does take time and can be quite an exhausting process). One thing that many people tend to forget is that when it comes to business, the environment you present to potential clients and customers is just as important as the office decoration and personal aspect of other things.
Imagine you are a company who provides business support services to SMEs in the local area. You make your living be calm, organised and in control. No doubt you portray that image in all your dealings with your clients, and on the occasion there is an emergency, you are probably able to hide it well. Perhaps one day your client wants to come and visit you in your offices. Or worse still, perhaps they simply drop in unannounced one day. When they walk in they see that your office is a mish-mash of bits of furniture that have been cobbled together. Papers are strewn all over the place because there is nowhere suitable to store them and wires trail across the floor because you haven’t been able to find the time to organise everything properly. No matter what impression you have managed to convey up to this point, or how good your work might have been to date, the simple truth is your client is going to be left with that image of an untidy and disorganised work environment. It most definitely is not going to bode well for future relations with them.
It’s never too late to get control The good news though if this sounds all too familiar is that it is never too late to get control of the work environment (no matter where or what that environment is). With a little bit of research it is easy to find plenty of places that specialise in supplying a wide range of office products, from office paper in Lancashire to office furniture in Gloucester and surrounding areas. And the best bit is it needn’t cost the earth. For a small budget you can find matching chairs and ergonomic desks. Colourful (or indeed plain) folders, trays and desk tidy. There are cables available to tidy up wires and leads, not to mention a variety of packages that allow you to effectively go wireless and avoid getting in a tangle altogether. Your office could be made to look a whole lot more stylish, organised and simple if you simply went out and bought storage solutions, that could be hidden in cupboards or even under desks.
