Tips for Comparing
Uniform Rental Partners
Comparing uniform rental partners is actually
much easier than you think. When the contract you have with one partner is
about to expire, you have a choice. Do you renew, or do you play the field and
find someone else to work with? When you need the answer to that question,
follow these tips.
Consider All Costs
Although you would like to know about hidden
fees, not all vendors will tell you about them ahead of time. This is how you
know that your current uniform partner is trying to take advantage of you. These
extra costs often appear in the form of upkeep and maintenance charges for
laundry services and mending any damaged uniforms. All of that should be
included in the package when you first sign your agreement.
Weigh the Long-Term Benefits
The next step is to think about where you will
be six months from now, and then five years on from there. What are the
long-term benefits of your
arrangement? Are you getting the best deal
that you can? These questions are essential, and you can’t overlook them.
Choose Your Uniforms and Customization Options
Choosing the uniforms that you want to
represent your brand is another decision that can’t be made lightly. Find one
that you like and that your
employees are comfortable wearing. Then make
sure that the customization options you are offered can help you stand out in a
crowded industry, no matter what that might be.
Think About How Uniforms Will Degrade
It’s natural for all uniforms to start to wear
out. Even the highest-quality materials will start to fade and tear over the
years of heavy wear and usage. Even washing them and taking the best care of
them can’t prevent this from happening. Every few years, it will be time for a
uniform redesign. Embrace that change whenever it comes around.
Consider Customer Service
Finally, assess the customer service that you’ve received in the
past. If they aren’t supportive, or have come across as unprofessional, then
maybe they aren’t the right fit. Don’t be afraid to set high standards, both
in-house, and for any labor or services that you might have outsourced in an
effort to save money. That shouldn’t be a sacrifice on anyone’s part.
