You didn’t get to where you are by making quick, uneducated decisions. That’s just not good business. Every decision you make has to be well-thought out and well-researched. This is true for almost everything, from everyday business decisions to hirings (and firings), and, of course, the service providers you partner with. Nothing can derail a business quicker than working with a service provider – such as a uniform rental company – that simply doesn’t care about you or your business.
What to Look for in a Uniform Rental Company
Whether you work in the automotive industry, food service industry, plumbing industry, or really any industry, uniforms play an important role in your company’s success or lack thereof. Uniforms have been proven to increase productivity, aid branding, improve customer acquisition and retention, boost morale, better customer service, and so much more. Unfortunately, finding the right uniform rental company is not always as easy as making the decision to adopt a uniform program.
Selection
You have a very distinct idea of what you want your employees to wear, so you shouldn’t have to settle for whatever your uniform rental company carriers. This is why you need to find a company with a wide selection of apparel to choose from: shirts, pants, coveralls, vests, jackets, and more.
Quality
What good is a uniform if it isn’t durable and built to last? We will tell you. It’s no good. Your uniform not only has to be aesthetically appealing, but also durable: capable of standing up to the wear and tear of a typical work day.
Service
Most importantly, your uniform rental company should value customer service. Unfortunately, this is often the hardest of the three criteria to find. This is because many of these big, faceless corporations only care about one thing: money. They price smaller uniform rental companies out of the competition and then gouge you with hidden fees. Remember, if a price is too good to be true, it probably is.
Small businesses, like Lord Baltimore, meanwhile, care about their customers. We take the time to make sure your experience is everything you expected and more. And when something does go wrong or you need to get in contact with your representative, you can.
