Great Amenities For Your Waiting Room

By Jansen Wilhelmsen


No matter what type of clients you serve, if you have a waiting area or waiting room, your clients will be happier if your provide them with some cool amenities. Most waiting areas offer an assortment of magazines and while this is fine, you can move beyond magazines and offer a bit more. Here are some easy ways to help make waiting a little bit easier.

Many people don't really enjoy reading, so magazines might not be a great way for them to pass the time. However, if you provide a television or two, this could be a good way to keep people happy while they wait for a doctor, a mechanic or an appointment with the accountant, hair stylist or whatever type of business that you have.

You can have the basic cable system for your clients, but you can also think and look further and have a DirecTV business account installed. A local DirecTV dealer and this is Integra Systems can install your DirecTV commercial system, and this includes TV sets installed in your waiting rooms, conference rooms, or rooms for employee break time. This is a TV system amenity that can offer the customers more than the ordinary channels of cable TV. High-definition TV programming of more than 100 channels can be watched and this includes sports, news, movies, and also more.

Providing free wireless internet is another option that your customers are sure to appreciate. Also be sure to have plenty of outlets for clients to plug in and charge up phones and other types of devices. Many people try to use this waiting time to catch up on reading and responding to emails, typing out memos and other work tasks so offering Wi-Fi can be a great option.

Complimentary beverages and snacks are another great option for your customers. Perhaps you keep it as simple as some fresh lemon water or cucumber water and a coffee and tea station. Other options would be to offer complimentary sodas or sparkling water as well as bags of pretzels, dried fruit or perhaps granola bars.

Of course, one aspect of waiting is sitting for a prolonged period of time so one amenity you definitely need to provide is comfortable furnishings. Provide plenty of comfortable chairs and perhaps a couch or two so that people can sit together if desired. A few couches are an excellent idea in a doctor's waiting room or perhaps a family waiting room at a hospital, allowing people to get closer together.
