Christmas is just around the corner! If you havenโ€™t realised it already, you definitely will as you make your way in and out of the brightly decorated shops, all lit up to celebrate the festive period.

The festive period is an extremely busy time of year for retailers, and we donโ€™t just mean how long it takes to get the shops looking like Santaโ€™s Grotto. Itโ€™s one of the busiest times of year for sales, and getting orders fulfilled on time is essential to ensuring success.

Did you know that our self storage units at Kangaroo are used to host a number of businesses (and their inventory)?

We offer flexibility, low cost and short-notice periods, which makes storage very appealing easing the seasonal strain. Whether utilised just for the festive season or throughout the entire year, storage can be incredibly useful to your business.

Below, we take a look at all the ways storage can make things a lot easier for your business during seasonal peak periods.

Seasonal Business

Seasonal businesses can really benefit from using storage. Our โ€˜easy in, easy outโ€™ agreement allows you as much space as you need and for as long as you need it โ€“ you can even have your stock delivered direct to the store.

Our helpful team will take delivery for you, so you donโ€™t have to be on-site; they will notify you when your goods arrive and store it in our secure holding area.ย  And if you need additional storage at short notice โ€“ we can increase the size of your unit without any penalty.

As soon as the Christmas rush is over, you can simply choose to give us notice and close the unit, as youโ€™re not tied down to a long-term contract.

Studio

Looking for the perfect place to record your Christmas podcast, latest YouTube video, or the next big film? ย Our storage units can make the ideal location for your studio. For small businesses that are unable to afford a big studio, a storage unit could be the perfect alternative.

Available in different sizes, weโ€™re positive that our units are big enough to meet all of your requirements. You simply choose your space, decorate it as you wish and then get on with filming or recording.

Warehouse

If you run your own online business, youโ€™ll be very aware of how quickly inventory can build up and take over your home. Storing your products in a self-storage unit is the ideal way to store your things securely, whilst ensuring easy access.

With Christmas being such a busy period, even retailers can benefit from renting out a unit. Warehouse self-storage allows you to easily store all in-demand inventory โ€“ be it seasonal items or an influx of popular products you canโ€™t keep in your shop โ€“ so youโ€™ll never run out of floor space.

Archive Room

The festive period can mean a rise in paperwork for some businesses and, therefore, an increase in the need for space to store it all. Self-storage units allow you to safely archive important records and data, including confidential and sensitive documents. Tax returns, invoices or receipts, for example, are often required by law to be kept for years in physical form, so cloud storage is not an option.

Instead of spending a lot of money on upgrading to a bigger office, why not rent a storage unit as an archive space, rather than using a spare room in your office?
