Marketing


The Top Tips for Storing Items for the Long Term Sometimes it’s best to put items into self storage for a long period of time. Whether for the summer or winter season, several months before you transition into a new home, or even years or indefinitely, storage units can alleviate some stress. However, there are a few tips you will want to utilize when storing items for the long term. 1. Decide What to Store and Make a List Your first step should be deciding what to store. To save on space, go through all your items and see if there’s anything you no longer need. Once you’re preparing for storage, go ahead and write a list of all your items. You can even add details such as their current conditions or even take pictures. 2. Pack Properly Make sure all your items are packed in sturdy containers or packing boxes. While you can take a quick trip to the grocery store for extra cardboard boxes, for long-time storage it’s recommended to use professional storage boxes or containers. 3. Purchase Insurance When putting your items into storage for long term, it’s recommended you buy insurance. Sometimes you can purchase insurance when renting a unit as a whole. If this isn’t the case then at least purchase insurance for high-value items such as vehicles or appliances. 4. Have Someone Check on Your Belongings If you’re unable to check on your belongings yourself, you can have a friend or family member check on your items from time to time to make sure everything is fine. 5.
