The difficulties of Renting a Mannequin in NYC

Opening a store is difficult; finding the perfect clothing, atmosphere, location… But what seems to take hold of most store owners, and for good reason, is their display.

How does my customer view my store? I recall working as a salesman in a retail store; I’d help fix the display mannequins that lined the windows of my NYC storefront. From the back I remembered thinking “wow, these Mannequins make this store look cheap and distasteful”. I wondered how much it would cost to rent a great Mannequin. Renting mannequins in NYC proved to be a difficult task. So many names, so little good customer service, as is usual in most places; but now imagine the ten-fold difficulties encountered with the countless ‘renters’ in NYC. My bottom line was this. Considering my store front, the quality of products I was selling, the location between Little Italy and Chinatown in NYC, I knew I needed to hold up to the competition. So, obviously, I needed to rent a quality mannequin selection, and not the broken dilapidated, decomposed selection I already had.

Now, let’s not forget price. Rent in NYC for a prominent storefront is not cheap; employees are not cheap; quality merchandise is not cheap; but again, having a great image was very important to me. So, I figured I’d find a good price, a company that had great service, and so long as the mannequins were up to par with all the other renters in NYC, I’d furnish my store anew.

I eventually found Mannequinhub.com. And, suffice it to say my sales picked up. I don’t want to throw out numbers here; but I promise you, if any of my retail friends asks me about Renting mannequins in NYC, I tell them all the same thing. “I went to Mannequinhub.com, had a satisfying experience, and ended up with incredible quality mannequins; and you can do the same.”
