Get your point across with church podiums that work with you

Choices in church podiums range widely, from sturdy wooden podiums to lightweight Lucite podiums. Consider your need for amplification, as many podiums offer built-in sound that you can control yourself. If your church is traditional, and you have a permanent location in mind, choose a wooden podium. If your church is more contemporary and changes its set-up frequently, think about an acrylic podium that you can customize with your church logo.

I recommend: Lecterns and Podiums features a Z-shaped acrylic podium that weighs 85 pounds for easy relocation throughout the church. Try  Religious Church Podiums, who can custom engrave your acrylic podium to your specifications. For wood podiums on casters, consider Oklahoma Sound Prestige, available in light and medium oak, walnut or mahogany. These church podiums include a built-in fluorescent light, timepiece and amplifier.

Stay organized and be heard with custom podiums

Speaker's podiums for sale come in several styles, floor-style or a tabletop version. Or how about a wood podium that has the features of both? Look for high-quality woods and rolling casters for portability, as well as lighting and amplification options.

I recommend: With the fully-powered lectern with input and output from Podiums Online, you have all the control for your sound and wireless capabilities. The Deluxe Hardwood Two-Piece Speaker's Podium can be used as a tabletop podium or a floor-style podium. Or try out the feature-packed Column Podium from Displays2Go, with an amplifier and built-in Jensen speakers. A fold-up wooden podium is a great option for travel.

Choose a custom podium for your restaurant

If you're running a restaurant, you'll quickly realize that a podium is a necessary feature for your wait staff. Look for specialized podiums with storage pockets for menus and special lighting.

I recommend: Give your maitre d' a place to orchestrate the motions of your restaurant with a deluxe hardwood host station. This wood podium has locking doors and drawers, Corian top and brass accents. Superior Products has an affordable maitre d' wooden podium with a slide-out shelf and two shelves for storage, as well as locking caster wheels.
