Santa’s Workshop Needs Self Storage

Christmas is only two pay checks away for many of us. When you look at it like that, you may find yourself pulling out some hair.

On my commute to work this morning, I heard on the radio that retailers are expecting a soft holiday season because of high gasoline prices and other economic factors. This may affect the self storage industry also. It’s not an ideal time to sell a home, and people may be more inclined to hold onto their investment before putting it on the market.

If shoppers are buying less, they may not need a storage unit to place gift in. As self storage owners or managers, you can still appeal to Christmas shoppers by offering them a place to hide presents from spying children or a nosey spouse. You can offer them an ideal space to store a pool table, new furniture or large Christmas.

Make sure tenants storing holiday gifts know about any access restrictions so they have their items out in time for Christmas morning. You may also want to remind them that a self storage unit is not the appropriate place to store a Christmas puppy or new pet.
