There are many things you can do to make your workflow run smoothly, from project management software to social media scheduling tools. However, there is another inconspicuous utility that can also enhance your business and that\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self storage<\/a>. This service provides the additional space you might need to manage paperwork, excess inventory and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the different types of businesses that can use self storage to optimize operations:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Burgeoning-businesses\"><\/span>1. Burgeoning businesses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the pandemic pushing many people into entrepreneurship, small businesses flourished all over the country. Many of them started out from a home office as a side hustle, but as the business grows so does the need for space. Piling up paperwork in the home office or the living room suddenly stopped seeming like a good idea. Instead, these business owners could easily turn to self storage to better manage their business-related items so they do not encroach on their living space. Besides, renting a climate-controlled unit to keep paper and other sensitive items is a surefire way to make sure they don\u2019t get damaged as this type of unit offers the ideal environment to keep them in pristine condition.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Brick-and-mortar-businesses\"><\/span>2. Brick-and-mortar businesses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For brick-and-mortar businesses such as boutiques and convenience stores, space is always an issue. The influx and outflux of stock poses many storage issues that can only be solved by either upgrading the business location or by partially outsourcing the storage area. Whether you have additional merchandise bought in advance for Christmas or for other busy times, self storage can help. Overflowing inventories can sit in a storage unit until they\u2019re ready to sit on the shelves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11346 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Interior-of-a-stylish-boutique-full-of-an-assortment-of-housewares-bags-and-accessories-for-sale.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of a stylish boutique full of an assortment of housewares, bags and accessories for sale\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Interior-of-a-stylish-boutique-full-of-an-assortment-of-housewares-bags-and-accessories-for-sale.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Interior-of-a-stylish-boutique-full-of-an-assortment-of-housewares-bags-and-accessories-for-sale.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Interior-of-a-stylish-boutique-full-of-an-assortment-of-housewares-bags-and-accessories-for-sale.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Restaurants\"><\/span>3. Restaurants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restaurants are another type of business that can benefit from self storage. Changing furniture \u2013 perhaps because it\u2019s for seasonal use \u2013 can pose logistical challenges. Most restaurants don\u2019t come with the extra storage space needed to accommodate the furniture from the entire seating area, making a storage unit the perfect place to keep not only extra furniture but also kitchen utensils and other non-perishable items. However, you should check with the facility manager to see if storing canned goods is allowed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Contractors-and-construction-companies\"><\/span>4. Contractors and construction companies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The construction industry \u2013 whether we\u2019re talking construction companies or contractors \u2013 can find self storage particularly useful in their day-to-day operations. They can rent a storage unit close to the construction site where they can keep building materials and heavy tools to avoid transporting them long distances every day.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/southern-us-takes-the-lead-for-downtown-apartment-construction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apartment construction firing up in the last decade<\/a>, places that have seen the most construction are also places where the need for self storage becomes apparent \u2013 both for construction businesses and for residential use. In cities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/ga\/atlanta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atlanta, Georgia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wedding-dress-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles, California<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/tx\/houston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston, Texas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/nc\/charlotte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a> \u2013 which have seen the most prodigious construction activity recently \u2013 renting a storage unit if you\u2019re in the construction business can be vital to managing the everyday workflow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-E-commerce-businesses\"><\/span>5. E-commerce businesses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/influencermarketinghub.com\/ecommerce-business-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">E-commerce businesses<\/a> can also benefit from using self storage. Merchandise that has yet to be delivered can sit in a storage unit until it\u2019s ready to be sent out. Sellers can use their unit to keep not only excess stock but also packaged items that are about to be delivered. For e-commerce businesses, organizing and efficiently managing inventory is crucial to success. Alongside inventory management software, understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/standardbots.com\/blog\/what-does-palletized-mean-with-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how palletizing works<\/a> can streamline the process of storing and moving merchandise. Utilizing storage units for excess stock becomes even more effective when goods are properly palletized, allowing for safer and more organized storage and retrieval.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11347 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Female-small-business-owner-using-mobile-app-on-smartphone-checking-parcel-box.jpg\" alt=\"Female small business owner using mobile app on smartphone checking parcel box\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Female-small-business-owner-using-mobile-app-on-smartphone-checking-parcel-box.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Female-small-business-owner-using-mobile-app-on-smartphone-checking-parcel-box.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/Female-small-business-owner-using-mobile-app-on-smartphone-checking-parcel-box.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Realtors-and-interior-decorators\"><\/span>6. Realtors and interior decorators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another group of professionals that can find self storage useful are realtors. They can use a unit to store light furniture and d\u00e9cor that\u2019s used for staging a home. This is a much better alternative to keeping these items in the trunk of their car or at their home.<\/p>\n<p>Not unlike realtors, interior designers can also keep furniture, paintings and other home d\u00e9cor items necessary for their work in a storage unit as they rotate displays at their business location. With seasonality playing a big role in this type of business, storing these items temporarily in a storage unit might just be the perfect solution to the challenges that a small operating space poses for interior designers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Legal-and-medical-professionals\"><\/span>7. Legal and medical professionals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Legal and medical professionals are required to keep paper records for business purposes, and what better way to manage the growing piles of files than to put them in a climate-controlled unit? It\u2019s the perfect environment to store them because it means they don\u2019t have to find extra space at their business location, and the files are stored in a safe environment that won\u2019t damage them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-store-for-business-purposes\"><\/span>How to store for business purposes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turning to a self storage unit can be a more convenient alternative to renting a warehouse for your business. Here are some pointers that can help you and your business make the most of your storage unit:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find-a-storage-facility-near-you\"><\/span>Find a storage facility near you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Start by finding a storage facility close to you \u2013 it makes it so much easier to get access to your stuff in little to no time. This is especially important for contractors and construction companies, as having the unit close to the construction site can ease day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose-the-right-unit-size\"><\/span>Choose the right unit size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you found the right facility, you need to decide on the size of your unit. You could start out by renting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/10x10-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10\u2019x10\u2019 unit<\/a> and upgrade it if your growing business needs demand that. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/10x15-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10\u2019x15\u2019<\/a> is ideal if your boutique or e-commerce business is seeing swelling inventories or if you\u2019ve noticed you\u2019re running out of stock much faster than anticipated. Construction businesses are better off with large units such as a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/10x20-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10\u2019x20\u2019<\/a> or even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/10x30-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10\u2019x30\u2019<\/a> if they need to store large tools and even construction vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Legal and medical professional could probably start out by renting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/5x5-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a05\u2019x5\u2019<\/a> or a \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/5x10-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5\u2019x10\u2019 unit<\/a> for storing paper-based records and upgrade later if need be.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11348 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/modern-couple-using-digital-tablet-while-loading-boxes-into-self-storage-unit.jpg\" alt=\"modern couple using digital tablet while loading boxes into self storage unit\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/modern-couple-using-digital-tablet-while-loading-boxes-into-self-storage-unit.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/modern-couple-using-digital-tablet-while-loading-boxes-into-self-storage-unit.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/12\/modern-couple-using-digital-tablet-while-loading-boxes-into-self-storage-unit.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For realtors and interior designers, a 10\u2019x10\u2019 unit is probably perfect if you have furniture and d\u00e9cor that could fit into a living room. For additional items, upgrading to a 10\u2019x15\u2019 might be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the right unit size for your business can be tricky, but if you\u2019ve rented a unit that turns out to be too small for all your belongings, you can always upgrade to a larger one. To get a better sense of what each unit size can hold, consult this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">storage unit size guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep-your-unit-organized\"><\/span>Keep your unit organized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Organization is the word if you\u2019re looking to keep things running smoothly. If you\u2019re storing merchandise, organize it by size, color or product type to help better manage it and find it next time you come to visit your unit.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a good rule of thumb is to keep heavy items closer to the floor and lighter ones on top. This will act as protection for the stored goods themselves and also for you and any staff handling the merchandise as it will prevent potential injuries from happening.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re storing small or mid-size items, you\u2019re better off using shelving units to help organize and store them. Place the shelving units by the walls allowing for a walkway in the middle \u2013 this will create a helpful visual of the entire unit so you can easily find stored items.<\/p>\n<p>If possible, box and label stored items and place them according to categories \u2013 you\u2019ll thank yourself the next time you come to the unit to retrieve specific pieces of merchandise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn-to-inventory-management-software\"><\/span>Turn to inventory management software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re storing large amounts of stock, it makes sense to turn to<a href=\"https:\/\/katanamrp.com\/inventory-management-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> inventory management<\/a> software as a way to manage your storage-unit-turned-stockroom. This way, you can predict how much merchandise you\u2019ll need shipped and also the time needed for this. In turn, your store will never be overstuffed or understocked. Moreover, using this type of software helps you the next time you do an inventory count \u2013 a great time-saving tool as you don\u2019t have to count every item in the store.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be-selective-about-the-stored-items\"><\/span>Be selective about the stored items<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/video\/play\/pareto-principle-8020-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pareto Principle<\/a>, 80% of revenue comes from 20% of your merchandise. That means that some items sell much better than others. Do a sales audit to identify those items. This will help inform your decisions about which products you need close at hand and which ones can sit in storage. You could also buy or manufacture more of your bestsellers and keep an extra supply in storage so you never run out of stock in case the floor items get sold faster than expected.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn-to-climate-control\"><\/span>Turn to climate control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re storing furniture, pieces of d\u00e9cor, paper-based products, electric tools and other similar items, you\u2019re better off going with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/climate-controlled-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate-controlled unit<\/a> if you wish to keep everything in pristine condition.<\/p>\n<p>Which businesses can most benefit from climate control: If you\u2019re the owner of a boutique or restaurant, or you\u2019re a realtor, interior designer, legal or medical professional or a contractor, count yourself among those who can find value in turning to this feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing a business takes a lot of skill, time and dedication.
