5 Smart Reasons to Rent Your Event Furniture

SPONSORED CONTENT FROM CORT

Your company is working on a huge program for an important event client and you need furnishings for conference lounges, education areas and the meeting itself. Furnishings complement the overall design, reinforce the theme, and communicate your brand message, so they must be included in the overall event. You’ve got a decent budget, but it needs to cover a lot of areas, from food and beverage to decor. How do you maximize your event dollars, and should you purchase furniture for one-time use, or is it better to source from a reputable rental company?

Many special event planners and their companies are faced with this scenario regularly. Rental companies such as CORT guarantee convenience, quality and service, but is it worth the cost, and does renting provide enough value? CORT reveals the top five reasons to rent furniture for your next event.

For starters, no upfront costs

Create beautiful events with ease with the endless options of the CORT Endless Collection.

1. NO Upfront Costs

Why stress over locating, sourcing and purchasing furniture when someone else has done it for you? CORT’s dedicated team sources on-trend rental furnishings and is the leader in products developed for the rigorous demands of an event or conference. Our abundant national warehouse locations allow for on-time delivery to your event location with the style and quantity you need. The days of wasting time, money and energy shopping for your event furniture are over.

2. NO Storage Costs

Once you’ve purchased furniture for your own inventory, you have to find a place to store it. Renting/buying warehouse space is a very expensive undertaking and a big capital expense. Plus, the labor and logistics of managing and tracking furniture is an ongoing headache and drain on company resources.

3. NO Transportation Costs

Transportation including delivery and pick-up service is no longer your problem! CORT employs professional uniformed team members who ensure your furniture makes it to your destination in prime condition. Trained to efficiently service your event and respond to last-minute needs, our team delivers the "wow" factor. Rest assured that transportation and labor coordination and costs are eliminated when renting with CORT.
