Rental Testimonials
It’s definitely the service. We utilize Vernon for a number of things: Our Conference Registration areas (both attendee and exhibitor), our Attendee Hand Out Printing Stations, our E-Cafe (so attendees can check emails) and our Social Media Lounge. These are all really important pieces of the conference that Vernon makes smooth and successful year after year.
They took the time to learn our business and demonstrated that they wanted to partner with us. They try to find us the best solution and if they can’t they’ll point us in the right direction.
They’re very flexible. If they don’t have what I need, they might acquire it. They delivered when they said they would. It was an easy, painless process.
Very quick response, competent, decent price and fast delivery. They’re flexible too; they actually gave me options. Different options that met our needs and saved us money.
They are very good with customer service. A great warranty policy (24 hr replacement on faulty equipment.) The best deal out overall. In some cases Vernon is a lot less expensive.
They’re very reliable, accommodating, and have high standards on the service they provide. Their reps are great: they know their market and their equipment and are very personable.
We were very pleased with your service. I was really impressed with the product, packaging and easy shipping/returning method in comparison to the company we were using. I will definitely be using your service again next year.
