SMARTBOX Portable Self Storage Blog

How many uses can you think of?

 

In my marketing activities to get the word out about SMARTBOX, I am often questioned about the various uses of a SmartBox.  Sometimes people inquire about the more direct uses, such as storage of excess home items or simply moving from point “A” to point “B” - both locally and long distance (via SMARTCARE). 

But there are a myriad of uses that you may not think of, but ultimately is a great use of a SmartBox.  So here are some other things that you may not have thought of:

 

  • Remodeling
    • Rather than cram items from two rooms into one while having work done, why not instead put the items into a SmartBox?
  • Garage addition
    • Likewise with remodeling, we have a lot of clients that utilize a SmartBox when having a garage built or rebuilt.
  • Home Staging and/or De-Cluttering
    • As referenced below in this issue, now more than ever Home Staging is really important.  With the increased inventory of homes for sale, you need to do everything you can to make your home stand out above all others.  A SmartBox is a fabulous solution as we do all the driving and you only need to pack once.
  • Kids going off to – or coming back from – College
    • Why “schlep” your kids things in a rental truck – or worse, in the back of your vehicle – when you can call SmartBox to do the “schlepping” for you?
  • Disaster Relief
    • These are the calls we hope to never receive, but we’re glad to be able to provide our services when needed.  With the glut of flooding as of late, tornado’s, etc what does one do on short notice when something like this occurs?  SMARTBOX is a great resource as we can fit into tight spaces, respond with short notice and we’re very affordable.
    • Add to that, most insurance companies will reimburse you for the use of a SmartBox during your time of need.
  • Military, Fire and Police Personnel discounts (offered by most - if not all SMARTBOX Franchise locations)
    • General uses for SmartBoxes qualify you for a discount if there is an immediate family member serving our country or municipality.
    • Additionally, if you’re being shipped out for active duty, you can use SMARTBOX to keep your items safe while you go off to keep us safe!

Many, many other uses….  I’d venture to say a thousand-and-one uses, or more!!!
