If you lack office space, but the rental for new premises is too expensive, then storage units are the ideal option. More often, moving premises is more than expensive rental costs. It also involves down time which equates to lost revenue. A mobile storage unit is not only cheaper than an additional office space, it is also convenient and easy to access. All you need to do is call and the unit will be delivered right to your door.
Businesses are required by law to retain financial, legal documents and files about their business for seven years. These can use a lot of space in a small office. Once you sort and group your documents by business unit or subject matter and date, you can store them away safely in a storage unit and they can be accessed whenever you want.
Don’t sell your summer or winter stock below cost because of a lack of storage space. You can store your excess stock in a storage unit until the next season. Mobile storage units are weather proof, pest controlled and secure.

Decluttering has many benefits, but the most important are the ones they have on your health and well-being.
Space is premium when you are trying to declutter so why don’t you hire a SmartBox and give yourself some additional room to work with? SmartBox mobile storage units will come to your home, you can stash your goods away, lock it up and we will pick up and store it for you until you ask for it again. Having more space to work with will make decluttering a lot easier and faster.
Most of us have different shoes for different occasions like sneakers for running, sandals and flipflops for summer and boots for winter. While your stash may not be anything like Imelda Marcos’, I bet you would still have an issue with storing and locating your shoes especially when you are in a hurry and need to find the pair that matches your outfit.
The thing with shoes is that you don’t outgrow them and therefore your collection keeps expanding. Besides, now that shoes come in every colour of the rainbow and in more shades than the Pantone colour swatch, it is easy to grow your collection exponentially. Parting with your shoes is rarely an option, no one likes parting with a good pair of shoes.
Shoes are not cheap; a good pair could cost in excess of $250. So, throwing them on the floor of your closet is not the best way to store them. This also makes locating a matching pair difficult and creates scuff marks when you are rummaging around trying to find the pair you want.
Storage and care tips
Store your shoes well and they will last longer, and you will save time trying to find them.
You can tell a man by his shoes. It is a good reason to store yours well and keep them looking good.
If space is an issue but you want to keep your growing stash safe until the next season, you could hire a SmartBox. Stack your shoes in it, and although these mobile storage units are breathable, adding Silica gel to the shoe boxes will ensure your shoes have that extra protection. Call us and we will store your collection for you in a secure location until you need it again.
Giving makes you feel good
A new year is a time for new resolutions and decluttering your home is always on top of everyone’s list of new year resolutions. Donating items that you do not want or have not used is a good way to start. And since 2021 is the year of the Ox or should we say year of the box, It is time to consider packing up and storing those sentimental items.
Step up your tidying skills
SmartBox self storage units are an ideal way to declutter and store your items for future use. So, it is the perfect time to don your Marie Kondo hat on and spark some joy. Sort the contents of your wardrobes, draws, bookshelves and cupboards first into categories: shoes, clothes, books, papers etc and then into lots of unwanted, sentimental and necessary.
Decide what to keep or discard
Sell or give away your unwanted items, organise those that you use and are essential to your daily life. But what do you do with those sentimental and treasured items? That’s where SmartBox comes into the picture. At just $99 a month you can hire a SmartBox where you can, again, Marie Kondo style, organise the storage unit with clearly labelled and colour coded boxes. Pack it up to the ceiling, lock it up and call us to collect it. We will take your precious cargo and store it for you.
We all know that the new year is the best time to embrace its symbolic meaning of starting afresh. Use the time to guide you through the tidying process so you can begin the year of the Ox with a clutter-free, organised life. Happy New Year!
