RMS Rentals hosts first open house since 2019


 

RMS Rentals in Savage, Minn., welcomed nearly 200 customers, vendors, and employees to its Customer Appreciation Open House in March. It was the first such event for RMS Rentals since 2019 as Covid-19 canceled any plans for a similar event during the past three years.

“We started planning this in October of 2021,” said Inside Sales Manager Larissa Indrebo. “We had a feeling the worst of the pandemic was finally behind us, and we were going to have an opportunity to welcome people back into our facility. We really wanted it to be a big deal. Customers were really excited about it, and we had a great turnout.”

The event featured booths for several of RMS Rentals’ manufacturers, treats, lunch catered by the food trucks Northwoods Smokehouse and Peppers & Fries a Go-Go, a welcome bag, and 30 door prizes that were given away.

“It was fun to try something new as far as the food trucks and giveaways,” said Rental Manager Sarah Ostroviak. “The goal was that every customer would walk away with something. Our manufacturers and local businesses really stepped up for the giveaways, which was awesome.”

After a long hiatus, the event was well-received and much appreciated by those in attendance.

“I think this event really meant a lot to everybody,” said General Manager Steven Klatt. “Our customers were excited to get a chance to come in and talk with manufacturers and our staff, and we were looking forward to getting an opportunity to meet with customers. It’s been a while, so I think everyone was looking forward to it.”

Some of the vendors participating in the event were LeeBoy, Allmand Manufacturing, Allen, Potain, Haugen, MBW, EDCO, Furukawa, Cratos, JLG, Wacker Neuson, Husqvarna, Multiquip, Nu-Star, Garbro Manufacturing, and Canycom.

Knowing that I helped a customer and seeing them come back again and again is what makes it all worthwhile for me,” said Dave. For 27 years, Dave has been honing his craft.

That’s exactly what happened this year. On April 20, more than 200 customers, vendors, and employees took advantage of the wash out and attended the Open House at our Savage location. Attendees received a welcome bag with swag items and were able to visit with participating vendors to check out the equipment and meet with representatives. “This was a great event, and I am very thankful for everyone that helped to make it a success. It isn’t too often I say this, but fortunately it rained. I think that made it a lot easier for people to get here,” said General Manager TJ Burns. “We really value the relationships we have with customers, and events like this are a great way to thank them for their relationship with RMS Rentals, but also to help them meet our vendors and get more of the informatio
