The reception area of your business is the first place that your clients see when they visit your offices, so it is arguably the most important to get first impressions right. What do you want your clients to think when they first walk into your offices?
Most people accept that your office furniturecan have a massive impact on the impression that your clients have of your business when they visit you. Logically a business like a solicitors will want furniture that presents a serious image, while a marketing company might prefer something modern and funky. So where should you start? Anyone who comes to visit you will first enter through your reception area, so it has to be one of the most important areas to get right.
We look at the 3 key pieces of office furniture that are currently influencing your client opinion of your business:
The office reception desk is normally much larger than the average office desk for a number of good reasons. Firstly, when your visitors walk into the building it is helpful if they can see where they should go straight away. Nothing says Im here to help like a big bold reception desk. If you want your receptionist to be able to multitask you need to give her plenty of space to keep organised too. Reception desks come in several different shapes; an L shape is often popular as it allows the receptionist to separate their roles efficiently, using one section for working at the computer and paperwork, while keeping the more visible section clear and ready for greeting your visitors.
The receptionists chair needs to be a good one, not least because it needs to be comfortable for long periods of time. If you are keen to keep your receptionist at her desk it needs to be a comfortable environment. Consider back support as well as the seat itself.
What about somewhere for visitors to sit? No one wants to stand around in a doorway waiting to meet with you, if you want to get a sale make sure that your client is comfortable when visiting. Be creative here and make sure you chose chairs that reflect the nature of your business. A traditional, classic look is great for some firms, but will this work for a web marketing company? Most importantly, you probably wouldnt expect to see old, ragged or broken chairs in the reception area of a business that you want to do business with.
Office furniture that looks good and suits your business will repay any investment you make. This really should be fun, take time out of your normal routine and get your furniture shopping right!
