Making a First Impression

Making a First Impression: Your Reception Area
Your clients often form a first impression of your business before they ever shake your hand. Your reception area says a lot about the quality and care your clients can expect from you.

Think about the image you want to portray and choose your furnishings and lighting accordingly. For instance, a tech company should steer clear of traditional furniture and opt for a more exciting, streamlined look. A law firm will probably want its reception area to appear formal and dignified.

In a waiting area, one of the most common mistakes is to line seats only around the perimeter of a room, or worse, in rows. This arrangement will make visitors feel restless and impatient as they wait. Instead, place furniture as you would in a living area, giving people the option of sitting alone, in pairs, or in groups. This way, they can choose to quietly read, talk to others, or simply observe their surroundings.

Coffee and side tables should further reflect the personality of the business, while giving you a place to put reading and promotional materials. Don’t forget to add plenty of lightening. Well-lit areas are more welcoming. Artwork is a must. However, only add pieces you would hang in a well-appointed home. Too often, waiting and reception room art looks like rummage sale leftovers.

No matter what style you choose, the furniture and accessories should appear upscale in style and material. Your clients want to know that you value them enough to give them a nice place to wait.
