Why Self Storage Makes a Great Christmas Gift
Having extra space is something that nobody thinks about until they need it. Sometimes they don’t even think of it then. They just keep filling up closets and ramming things into any unused corner.
Do you know anyone who would actually like to use their garage for their car and their closets for their clothes? Instead of gifting yet another item for which friends and family have no room, present them with extra space. It’s like giving them an extra room.
Here is a glimpse into some of the reasons why self storage makes the perfect gift.
- A new baby is on the way, and the nursery is full of clutter.
- Newlyweds have to make room for two households in one small apartment.
- Parents have to find space for the junk their kids are bringing home from college,
- A young family is moving to a larger home and they have to store their belongings so that their house can be “staged.”
- Parents have to find extra space for all of the debris their kids left when they finally moved out.
- A newly divorced couple has to find storage for their belongings while they decide who gets what.
- An elderly couple is downsizing and needs storage space for their extra belongings, while they decide whether they really like living in a condo.
Now, let’s look at this picture from a business rather than a personal angle. You may have friends that own a business or are involved with a non-profit or community organization. Don’t forget the people on your gift list who have very messy hobbies.
- Business startup owners have to find space for office supplies, inventory, and equipment because it’s slowly consuming their living space.
- The owners of a real estate “staging” business need space for the items they use for their business.
- Construction company owners have to find parking for large equipment because their HOA frowns on them keeping it on the front lawn,
- Pharmaceutical sales reps need secure storage because their company doesn’t approve of using the trunk of a car for storing drugs.
- Retail store owners have to make room for extra retail inventory because their small brick and mortar store is already overcrowded.
- Volunteer parents have to make room for school and/or sports equipment because they’re the person in charge of the stuff.
- Hobbyists need extra space for their antiques/hobby clutter because their friends are beginning to think they have a hoarding issue.
