Over the last few years, PPL Group has done numerous sales of party and tool rental equipment. We’ve done surplus sales to make room for new equipment, and we’ve done retirement sales, where we’ve sold equipment, real estate, customer lists, websites, phone numbers, and business names.
Below, you can see three case studies, and brochures for five additional deals. Want to talk options? Michael Muslin: 224-927-5310 or mmuslin@pplgroupllc.com
Party Central
Owner of Party Central, Tom Williams was ready to shutter his party rental business but had a warehouse of inventory spanning from tables to tents, inflatables to volleyball sets. He was unsure if it was sellable.
Our Approach: Sophisticated and aggressive marketing campaign aimed at both businesses and consumers. Modest budget, employing Tom’s existing staff to clean and set up the items for sale.
Results: Sold all 800-lots in under two days to buyers around the country, and monetized the name of the company, website, logo, phone number and book of business. Auction generated double the revenue Tom was expecting.
Taylor Rental of Streamwood
Owner Mike Steele called us after seeing our success with Party Central. He was retiring, and wanted to sell off everything.
Results: Generated good prices for the party rental equipment and tool rental equipment. Mike was pleased. We also sold his customer list, his website URL, and his phone number, generating returns for assets he thought had no value.
Chicago Area Tool & Party Rental - Surplus Sale
“PPL Group provides great customer service. We gave PPL 60 days’ notice to have a 2 day auction with over 200 items. They took pictures and cataloged the equipment quickly and efficiently. I would recommend their auction services. I have used 4 other auction companies throughout the years & PPL Group is great to work with.” – Chris W., President
