HO, ho ,ho

Today’s self storage blog is from our evening supervisor Wendy.

‘Tis The Season

Oh what a joyous time of the year it is! Now you would not think that things would be busy in storage this time of year. Of course we don’t just answer for the cold states though. We answer the phones nationwide. So of course some parts of the US they can move and store year round!… Which translates into more commissions for us and more rentals for our clients…Yeah!

I have also noticed in my calls, that people are calling to hide Christmas presents in storage until Christmas. I don’t know if anyone else had noticed. I think this aspect of the business would be very profitable if played up. So we have started planting the seed. We mention to callers that storage units are a great place to hide Christmas presents from the kids or a spouse. We also use this as a way to build some urgency. Some people think that it might be slow in storage this time of year and they don’t need to put a unit on hold.

But I tell them that with so many people using storage to hide Christmas presents, that there is no way to know if a unit will be available if they don’t hold it. This helps us close rentals on the phone.

I think all facilities could make a profitable gift giving season by offering storage for the holidays, so nosy little girls and boys don’t find out what they are getting until Christmas morning! Maybe offer a special just for this time of the year since it could be very profitable. But that’s just my opinion.Hopefully a helpful tidbit for next year’s season.

That’s all for now… MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wendy
