In the run up to Christmas, many owners of a business that are extra busy at this time of year are faced with the dilemma of where to house their seasonal stock. Running a seasonal business means there are increased stock levels at certain times of the year, for example Christmas sees a demand for products (and therefore storage space), only for it to drop off again in the New Year.
No business wants to be spending money on permanent storage space if it is only needed for a quarter of the year. Often small business owners find they run out of space at home to store their stock at peak trading times. This is where more and more small business owners are turning to self-storage as it offers them the flexibility that renting commercial space doesn’t.
Self-storage is cheaper than renting long-term commercial premises, and as our storage units are priced per sq ft in a range of sizes from 15sq ft up to 180sq ft, then you can be sure that you are just paying for the space you need. The business rates and utility bills for our self-storage units are paid for by Offerfair, meaning you are exempt from paying them which means more cost savings to your business.
Seasonal business owners also appreciate that at Offerfair there are no lengthy contracts and we ask for just 7 days’ notice to vacate, and we allow customers to increase or reduce the size of their storage unit, which is particularly useful at key seasonal trading times and if a business wants to take advantage of bulk ordering discounts.
We have six self storage premises across three locations in Hastings and St Leonards, all of which are fully alarmed and have CCTV coverage, so you can be completely confident that your stock is safe with us.
We already work with a number of local small businesses, so if you are thinking about temporary storage space for your seasonal business, then please contact us to talk through how we can help you.
