Here’s some of the ways that self storage could help you overcome operational challenges and give you an edge.
Ballito’s premier self storage solution
Self storage for business isn’t just an additional room to store surplus office supplies and equipment. Instead, self storage offers businesses the flexibility to manage space in new ways that delivers operational proficiency.
A recent study by the Self-Storage Association revealed that businesses utilising self-storage experience a 20% increase in operational efficiency, with 42% of all self storage space now rented by businesses.
A timely reorganisation in the office will always re-energise the team and enhance employee well-being. But without being able to remove anything, you’ll only ever be shifting boxes around.
Research by Cornell University found that a well-organised office can reduce stress and increase efficiency by up to 20%. By utilising self-storage, businesses can declutter their offices, storing infrequently used items off-site and adding room for new ideas and even a bigger team at headquarters.
Don’t think of it as self storage, think of it as an investment in realising your vision, which will always be hampered by archive boxes of CDs from a decade ago.
Whether you’re selling apparel, cosmetics, car parts or candles, having somewhere to keep extra stock. Manage fluctuating inventory needs, especially during peak seasons or promotional events. Self storage lets you efficiently manage excess stock without crowding your main premises. This flexibility provides the double advantage readily accessible items when you need them, while maintaining a streamlined and organised storefront, so you can serve a wider audience and keep them happier.
Self-storage should always offer security and a stable internal climate to protect inventory from damage and theft. It should be conveniently located so you can respond quickly and use it more often.
In Ballito, no self storage is safer, more convenient or more pleasant to deal with than North Store.
Scalability and self-storage go hand-in-hand. Take, for example, a local surf boutique in Ballito. During the summer months and holiday seasons, or during events like the Ballito Pro, their store becomes a destination, when managing demand isn’t possible in the small premises. By renting a self-storage unit at North Store, they keep the boards and surfwear flowing with a wide range of sizes and styles available.
During the slow winter months, they relinquish the storage to save costs, being sure to book a few months in advance.
Self storage for business doesn’t have to be conventional. For a young Ballito couple, a love of unusual music turned hobby into business, with LPs being sourced from auctions and yard sales sold on to collectors the world over. With sales booming, the loss of space in their one bedroom apartment soon became untenable. Enter the 3 square metre self storage unit, the ideal space to store hundreds of records where they’re safe and dry, as well as providing an enjoyable environment for packaging them for shipping in the evenings.
