If you are a business owner who is currently using a Carson storage unit to uncramp your workspace, you have probably found that you can concentrate more without all of the clutter. You are most likely storing supplies, excess inventory, samples, paperwork, office furniture, or a combination of that list, and you may be more organized now than you were before you had the storage unit. Indeed, hopefully you are realizing the cost effectiveness and efficiency aspects that storage units can bring to a business. Temporary Storage Solutions for Business Owners Many business owners use storage units for short-term solutions. Some need extra space while they are remodeling, downsizing, or redecorating their office. Other business owners need it to relocate their business. Yet, others need extra space to store seasonal fixtures and furnishings, including, but not limited to outdoor furniture, outdoor kiosks, or excess inventory before the holiday season kicks off. Tips for Business Storage Whether your business storage needs are short-term or long-term, the following list includes some tips for your business storage: Keep An Inventory of Items Stored You may be able to remember what you have stored this week, next week, and even the week after that, but as time goes on, businesses typically pack more and more into their storage units. The longer they have the unit and the more that is packed inside of them, the harder it is to remember what is in there and where everything has been kept. As you pack things in the storage and take them out, keep a running inventory of what you have stored. You can use your tablet or smartphone to keep this list. That way, when you are on-the-go, you have the list right with you. Pack Items Properly No matter what you are storing in that unit, you need to pack the items properly. This is especially important if you are storing items that are of a high monetary or other type of value, like computers and important paperwork. If you are packing computers, they should be stored in boxes and packed tightly with packing materials to insulate and protect them. Documents, photos, or other vital paperwork should also be packed into boxes that are approximately similar sizes. That way, you can stack the boxes on top of each other and find similar items easily. Any office furniture can be stored standing on their ends, or vertically. This helps to use the space efficiently in your storage unit.
