Seasons Change But Self Storage Stays Strong

Self storage has a huge influx of temporary customers in the spring and summertime.  People declutter their homes to get ready to put them on the market, and college students store over the summer break. 

Fall and winter also have their own unique customers.  Here are just a few examples of people needing storage that I have spoken with this last week of October.

•  
  • Two different guys in their mid forties were both very sad they had to put there Big Boy toys away for the winter.  The man from Kansas City was storing his Porsche and the guy from Michigan was storing his Corvette.  Both were very concerned about the great security, as well as the convenient access hours for those nice winter days!
  • A woman from Illinois called needing to store all of her furniture.  It seems she is getting new carpet throughout her home and needs to make room for the carpet layers.  They promise to have it all installed so she can host Thanksgiving dinner for thirty people.  There is probably going to be a lot of stress in that household for the next three weeks!
  • A young bride-to-be said she is getting married next spring.  She is currently buying furniture for the new house she and her fiancé have yet to buy.  I hope she gets some financial planning as a wedding gift!

Because I am a sales agent for the PhoneSmart Call Center people often tell what they are storing and why.  And I find no matter what the season, people always need self storage!
