How to Use a Storage Unit to Grow Your Business

Home-based Businesses

Given the current pandemic, many are working from home. This means making space for product, office equipment and other supplies. How can you make space out of a room that isn’t already an office? Store it! Storing furniture and other items to make room for a home-based business makes sense. Storing your personal contents and extra furniture keeps them safe, while adding room to grow your business. If you are a seller of merchandise and need space for your inventory, store it! Storage units come in different sizes. At Downtown Self Storage, we make it easy. Use our Storage Size Estimator to determine what kind of storage unit you’ll need. 

Retail Businesses

Brick and mortar shops can also benefit from our storage solutions. Keeping control on inventory as the seasons change can be challenging. Space inside a store is usually limited, and the space that is available can be used more wisely, simply by storing excess inventory. To increase profits, retailers can often take advantage of buying summer and winter items at the end of each season at much cheaper prices. But there has to be a place to store the extra inventory. That’s where Downtown Self Storage comes in. We offer pest-controlled and heated storage units that come with available theft and fire insurance. There is also 24-hour video security.

Realtors, Interior Designers and Professional Stagers

Are you a realtor who has signage and other bulky business items that are taking up precious space in your garage or home? Rent a small storage unit, declutter and make room! Make your life easier by having everything neatly organized in one space.

Are you an interior designer or stager? We all know how much furniture, accessories, wall art, vases etc. it takes to make a home look beautiful. If you’ve built up your portfolio and inventory (which is great), you’re going to need to store it all away. Sofas and other large items like dining tables and chairs are especially hard to store in your own home. At Downtown Self Storage, we can provide storage solutions that help keep your business growing and organized, and have a hydraulic loading dock to make install day easy. 

Professional Offices

Running an efficient office means having adequate space to operate. Paperwork and files can grow quickly, taking up office space and potentially creating an organizational nightmare. Archive your important paperwork and files by renting a storage unit. Increase your ability to hire extra staff by creating more office space. Have extra office furniture or computer equipment that needs to be stored? We can help! 

Restaurants and Bars

Calgary has four distinct seasons and Calgarians (and visitors to our city) especially enjoy patio season. But when winter hits, that patio furniture needs to be stored. A storage unit helps restaurant owners keep extra tables, chairs, umbrellas and kitchen equipment safe and out of the way, and protected from the elements (increasing their longevity). By using a storage unit, there is less risk of things breaking, like excess glassware and plates etc. keeping patrons and staff safe. And profits won’t unnecessarily go down the drain.
