How To Make Your Office Appealing To Clients

April 26, 2019 Mike MacDonald

When you own a bricks-and-mortar business, there are many things that you use your office for. Not only are your team members in there for 40 hours a week, trying to make some magic happen for your business, but it’s also one of the ports of call for any potential clients, and it could be where you hold meetings before you sign those important contracts.

Needless to say, then, your office is a super important part of your business, and it adds to – or detracts from – the image of your brand. Here’s how you can make it as appealing as possible.

Workplace happiness is key

For obvious reasons, you want your team members to be as happy as they possibly can be. Not only does it lift everybody’s spirits up when there’s a general good vibe to your office, but it means that people will want to come into work, rather than seeing the office as some kind of purgatory (with a lot more printers).

Keeping team morale high will also look great to your clients, who will take a lot from their first impressions. If your business looks like one with a happy and productive team, who are getting the job done with a smile, then this will be a big selling point for your company.

Keep it modern

The last thing that people want to see when they come into your office is a space that looks like it hasn’t changed at all since the 1980s. Whilst there’s something charming about the traditional look, there is no doubt at all that these offices would have been depressing. Dark, dingy spaces are a thing of the past.

Use light colors in your decor if you want to make an impact, and seek out an office with big windows, for maximum natural light. If you really want to go all out, then look into aluminium canopy systems, for the entryway into your office. As we said before, first impressions are everything!

Make sure that it’s clean

OK, so it sounds like something that is pretty obvious. However, a clean office will help your team to work as well as they possibly can do, and it will also give your potential clients the impression that you’re a professional business, with high standards. Let the clutter go, and stick to the necessities.

Keeping your office pretty basic – despite any tech that you may be incorporating into it – is key to your brand image. If you try too hard, and add too many things into one space, it’s going to look messy, and it shows that you can’t make efficient decisions (whilst also knowing when to stop). Everything in your office says something about you, so make it positive.

If you want to make your office appealing to clients, then remember these simple things. They will also help to keep your team members happy, too, so everyone’s a winner, huh?
