Find Reception Desks in Gauteng That Suit the Needs of Your Business
The business reception area is the very first place that your customers will physically meet your brand and as a result of this, it’s imperative to make the best possible impression. It doesn’t matter what industry you are working in, if you fail to make a good first impression, chances are high that you will lose the customer (or their trust and loyalty at least).
In Gauteng, you will find that the market is highly competitive and as such, many companies will stop at nothing to ensure that they have the type of reception area that “wows” their target audience. If you’re worried that this will cost you a small fortune, don’t! You can find good-quality reception desks in Gauteng, at an affordable rate. You just need to shop at Quantum Office Furniture. Before we take a look at our range of products, let’s pay a little more attention to what a good reception area looks like and what sort of furniture items and setup you need in order to get the most out of it.
Many large and successful corporations take the time and spend the money to ensure that their reception area is impressive. The idea is to excite your customers about your business, show them that you are willing to put in time and effort to properly promote your brand, and that you have a positive and open attitude to all that walk through your door. Below are a few top tips to help you create a reception area that’s hard to forget.
A Professional Appeal is Imperative
We’ve said it before and we will say it again: first impressions count. As soon as a client walks through the door, they will do an unplanned room scan and make their first impression. As such, it must be clean – first and foremost! It must also be well organised and have signage that makes processes or where to go, quick and easy to gather. A cluttered reception desk is a big fat NO. You can avoid a cluttered desk by investing in a reception desk that has storage drawers and built-in cupboards and storage areas. If you take a look at our reception office furniture, you will find that all of our units offer sufficient storage. It’s also important to ensure that your reception counter isn’t cluttered with people. It’s counterproductive to try squeeze four people behind one reception counter that’s actually made for two people. Not only will the space look awkward and present a poor and unprofessional impression, but it will also hinder your staff members’ productivity levels.
Pay Attention to Ergonomics
Reception desks and counters are often designed to look good, but not all of them are comfortable or well set up. A comfortable employee is a happier and more productive one, and that’s good for your customers and your bottom line. Remember that you must buy the right seating for the desk or counter that you purchase, so that daily tasks become easier for clients. If you have a waiting room beyond your reception desk, make sure that the seating is both ergonomic and comfortable.
Make the Space Inviting
Having an impressive-looking reception desk or counter is a great first step to creating an inviting office space. The next is lighting. Avoid harsh or stark lighting and rather opt for wall-mounted lights or lamps that create a spacious, yet warm atmosphere.
