Commercial Garment Steamers and Handheld Models save Professional Retailers time

March 15, 2006: ST. LOUIS, MO – Independent apparel retailers will agree that the most valuable commodity in their operations is time. The owner of an independent store wears a lot of hats in a given day- manager, clerk, greeter, accountant, stocker, and customer service representative just to name a few. So they’re constantly on the lookout for ways to lighten the burden, and save more time. A professional garment steamer just might be the answer.

“A commercial garment steamer can actually cut ironing time by 90%,” Chris Weis said. “It may even eliminate a retailer’s need for ironing all together.”

Weis is the marketing and ecommerce director of Nu-Era, a company that specializes in providing retail fixtures and supplies. Nu-Era offers a wide range of garment steamers at www.nu-era.com, including professional models and smaller handheld clothes steamers.

While handheld clothes steamers are designed more for personal use, smaller retailers are also beginning to enjoy the convenience they offer.

“Handheld clothes steamers are extremely popular among personal-use customers,” Weis said. “But their lightweight design and convenience also makes them a logical choice for retailers who don’t need to steam on a regular basis.”

According to Weis, when shopping around for a professional steamer, buyers should keep an eye on two things- start-up time and running time. This will vary from model to model and depending on you needs, could be very important.
