LarryPhotoWelcome to the table!

Well friends, the cold weather is upon us, and every Sunday brings eager anticipation of a Patriots win. That's right. Fall is here! And with winter not too far around the corner, now is a great time to start planning for your holiday events. Thanksgiving is only about two weeks away now, and that opens the door to so many more holidays to celebrate. To spruce up your events and ease your budget, we are running some exclusive specials for the season, which can be seen by clicking here.

Now is also an excellent time to schedule an appointment and visit one of our seven showrooms. Come see our new products, get a refresher course on some of our more traditional products and everything else we have to offer, and play around with new looks and designs for 2011.

Always remember, your events deserve the best, and we appreciate you letting us "make it happen" for all of them.  I wish you a happy and safe holiday season, and hope to see you at one of our showrooms!

2010 Show LogosWhere Will You be Seen This Year?

As we mentioned in our last issue, we are gearing up to hit many trade shows and conferences this winter. We will be participating in classes and educational experiences, as well as showcases and competitions. Here is a recap of where you can find us!

The Special Event Conference and Tradeshow January 25th - 28th, Phoenix, Arizona. See Rentals Unlimited in the Wedding Luncheon Gallery, as well as the featured tabletop design for the Wedding Luncheon itself!
We will also be hosting a class this year, so be sure to register early! "4 Events and A Budget" will focus on how to make one budget work for four entirely different types of events.

Catersource and
Event Solutions Conference and Trade Show February 27th - March 2nd, Las Vegas, NV. Rentals Unlimited is excited to be participating in the Tabletop Contest which will be judged by conference attendees and the Catersource Advisory Board. Our sister company, International Event Products (IEP), will be showcasing their product at Booth #1501. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

American Rental Association's The Rental Show February 27th - March 2nd, Las Vegas, NV. This is a great place for us to learn more about new products and policies for rental companies and the event industry as a whole. IEP will also be showcasing here at Booth #2038.

Who says the season is over and things are slowing down? Not here at Rentals Unlimited! We moved into our new 10,000 sq. ft. linen and laundry facility in August and have been continuing to run the day to day operations of one our busiest seasons ever! We now have a chance to start finding proper homes for all of the linens, and we will be establishing new procedures to help make the procedures for laundry, pressing and fulfillment of orders better.
  

During this whole process, I had to make some difficult, heart wrenching decisions (enough drama for you?) about our inventory and Festive Occasions' inventory.  I hate to throw things out; everything at some point comes back into style... (Think Pucci!) But, I had to take a hard stand. If it had a low inventory, if the fabric was no longer available and it had not been rented in over a year... Out it went! We donated everything to a non-profit which sent it away to be recycled so we could be sure it didn't go to waste. Please don't assume your favorite linen made the cut! Please call your sales rep before you promise it to your best client to make sure it is still available.  

60 days until The Special Event Show in Phoenix - Yikes! It is a great conference, and if you have never attended you should try to make it out. We are even more involved this year than last... Lecture, Gallery and Sponsor - OH MY! Larry, Filomena and I will be doing a lecture on Friday, January 27th, called "4 Parties and a Budget."  We also applied and were accepted in designing a Wedding Gallery during the wonderful Wedding Luncheon. We are bringing a great team of Rhode Islanders to help us create an over the top gallery. Hats off to Exquisite Events of Newport (Kelli, Stasia and their great team), Wendy Joblon Events (and Folio), Ormonde Productions (Tony), John Orton Events and Stoneblossom Floral & Event Design (Joyce, Sheri and Dennis). So excited about showing the industry what the smallest state in the U.S. can produce! Rentals Unlimited is also sponsoring all the tableware for the actual luncheon. We sure do make it happen!

BoltsOfFabric
To Swatch or Not to Swatch

And no, we are not talking about those watches that you wore in four different styles all as part of one outfit in the 90's.

Our team has been hard at work cutting and collating brand new swatch booklets for you! W
ithin the next 90 days we plan to have the swatch project done and will have bundles of swatches ready for everyone. This has been a huge undertaking for us: deciding the best way to show the fabrics, determining what fabrics to include,
deciding on the size of the swatches, figuring out the best way to label them, and even what size staple to use! We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel... we hope... and are excited for the finished product. When all is said and done, we will have 99% of our linen collection with either a swatch or picture sample.

These booklets will replace the existing swatch pages of the product book that you may have in a green binder. We have some great ideas up our sleeves for this project and think you will be as excited about them as we are once you get one!
