How To Start A Table Linen, Wedding Linen Rental Service.
Do you love working with fabrics? Do you want to work from home, but still enjoy working with people? Then starting a table linen rental service might be just the thing! People always need large quantities of table linen for things like their wedding, parties, conferences, and other functions, and they need someone to rent it from when they do! That person can be you! All you need is some great wholesale linen, and a little know-how about what it takes to break into the biz.
The first thing you need to do is determine what your start-up costs will be. Because you won’t be needing things like office space or staff, this will mostly consist of the cost of the actual table linen that you’ll have for rent. Wholesale linen will vary in cost depending on what type of material you buy, but we always have all types of table linen available at very good costs for businesses. Also don’t forget that you’ll probably want to stock up on wholesale wedding table linen. Weddings will probably make up the majority of your business, so you’ll need to make sure that you have the wedding chair covers, wedding sashes and other wholesale wedding table linen that your clients will be looking for.
The next thing you’ll have to do once you’ve ordered all of your wholesale linen is start advertising your linen rental business, and the first way to do that is to get a great website. Your website will tell your clients instantly why they should use your company so post pictures of the beautiful linen you have. Make sure that the pictures show your linen set up properly so that the customer can get the full effect of what your linen will look like in their room.
Your next marketing step should be advertising to all the wedding planners in your area. Send brochures to them, offer them samples when possible, or give them special discounts for booking with you or for referring someone else. It can’t be emphasized enough how important weddings are in the linen rental business, and just how much of your profit will come directly from them!
