►There are many ways to save money when times are tough – but you may need you to think outside the box! It’s more important than ever to be effective now in the current downturn. ►First of all, look at things differently & don’t just think that what you’ve done before will work now. Examine everything! Obvious things may not be the whole picture. Some new, small changes may be make-or-break. ►Secondly, look at the big expenses first – most of them are probably property-related as these are, for most businesses, the major costs. Then beyond property, the next costs in line are probably personnel and transport. Here are some ways that self storage could help you save money NOW. [1] SAVE OFFICE/PREMISES COSTS - £££’s RENT LESS OFFICE SPACE OR LESS OFFICES Take a smaller office or premises & SAVE the rent. Use self storage for any temporary storage needs that you have - on a flexible and inexpensive basis. You can take or change your space on a weekly basis. Are you using expensive premium office space for storage? Are you paying unnecessary rent/rates/utilities? [2] SAVE WAREHOUSE COSTS - £££’s RENT LESS WAREHOUSE SPACE OR NO WAREHOUSE SPACE Take less space at your warehouse – or don’t use a warehouse at all! You can rent space in any size at short notice & change whenever you wish. Pay only for what you use. Are you paying for too much warehouse space? [3] SAVE OFFICE/PREMISES/WAREHOUSE COSTS - £££’s DON’T PAY ALL YEAR FOR TEMPORARY SPACE – ONLY RENT WHEN YOU NEED IT Don’t pay for the space that you rarely or never use! Commit to less premises space (or no premises space) & use self storage for storage. Here you can downsize or upsize whenever you need - on a weekly basis. Are you paying for space all the time - which you don’t need all of the time? [4] SAVE DISTRIBUTION CENTRE COSTS - £££’s DON’T USE A DISTRIBUTION CENTRE If you rent a safe, dry, secure unit in a self storage company you can use it as your own mini-distribution centre. They accept deliveries/collections for you and will do your fork-lifting (both NO CHARGE). You & your team can come and go as often as you want without you having to be present all the time. Are you paying too much for a full service distribution service when you can do it yourself? [5] SAVE STAFFING COSTS - £££’s CAN SOME OF YOUR DISTRIBUTION/LOGISTICS PERSONNEL COSTS BE SAVED Don’t forget storage companies will accept deliveries for you. (NO CHARGE) and they will help with our forklift service (NO CHARGE). Maybe in combination with the above, you could use a self storage company to reduce your costs. Your unit does not need to be attended – it’s secure & safe for when you need it. [6] SAVE LEGAL or COMMITMENT COSTS DON’T PAY BIG FEES or COMMIT TO LONG SERVICE AGREEMENTS/ LEASES/RENTALS You don’t have to agree to take space at premises or a warehouse if you do not need it on a long term basis. You can store with any storage company & trial business practises or see how it goes. They’re flexible with no set up costs. Are you paying for or are you committed to something permanent that you don’t need or know you need, today? [7] SAVE TRANSPORT COSTS - £££’s RE-ORGANIZE YOUR NETWORK/LOGISTICS TO USE LOCAL SELF STORAGE Can you work it so that you use more (or less) or nearer distribution/storage points? Do your people or goods travel unnecessary road miles costing you time and transport costs?
