We’ve talked about all aspects of storage over the last year, and we hope that you’ve found our articles both useful and enjoyable.
We thought that this time we’d remind you of the recipe for successful self-storage, which begins of course with the essential ingredients.
The essential ingredients for success
- Location – particularly if you need regular or frequent access to the items
- Security – you need the peace of mind that your valuable items are safe (anti-theft, clean, dry, fire-proof etc.)
- Availability – you may need some items at very short notice, or perhaps regularly if you’re running a business from home
- Customer Service – this needs to be prompt, efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. Naturally!
- Value for money – you only pay for the space that you need
- Commitment – you don’t have to sign up for long term deals – you may not KNOW precisely how long you need the space for!
- Notice period – you don’t have to give unreasonable notice to end the agreement
- Speed – you sign up and move your stuff quickly
- Assistance – with things like boxes and packing materials and even van hire recommendations
What you shouldn’t need
Optimism! Actually, let’s re-phrase that. Optimism is of course a very good thing to have, and a very good state of mind generally to be in, so we’re not knocking it!
But you shouldn’t have to have that “fingers crossed, I hope it all works out” feeling. Your supplier should make you feel confident that everything will be fine.
It’s obvious really, but we wanted to say it.
So you’ve got the ingredients – what’s the recipe?
This is fairly straightforward. Armed with your check-list, you add all the ingredients together … and then find the right supplier … and given where you’ve got to already this shouldn’t prove too difficult!
