2. Renting a storage unit is a huge help for
many business owners and office managers.
It helps them obtain more space without
having the need to move to bigger
commercial space or build a warehouse.
Renting a unit also enables them to protect
and ensure the longevity of important
documents and office items that are
currently not in use. Instead of throwing
such items away, they can simply store them
in their rented spaces.
3. However, one of the common problems
encountered by many business owners when
renting a unit is they tend to lose track of office
items they have stored in their Balmain
storage units. Many of them lose precious
time because they are unable to find a
particular item. As you may know, time is
money in the world of business. As such,
wasting time is a big no-no. If you're a business
owner, therefore, you should always monitor
what goes in and out of your rented space.
Here are some helpful tips on how to do it
properly and efficiently.
4. Tip No 1: Boxes are a huge help so use them
as much as possible. They can add more
years to the lifespan of your office items. In
addition, they keep dust and dirt off your
valuables and using them enables you to
create more space in your unit. And most of
all, they help you keep track of office items
in storage.
5. Tip No 2: Box your things up. But before
you seal the boxes and store them in your
Balmain storage unit, make sure you
know exactly what the contents of each box
are. Number each box and label all sides,
including its top and bottom. This will make
it easier for you to find the particular box no
matter how or where it is placed.
6. Tip No 3: Create a spreadsheet for all the
boxes and office items that will be placed in
your storage unit. On the spreadsheet,
make several columns that indicate the
number of each box, its contents, and other
pertinent information. In case a single box
contains a mix of many smaller items, you
don't have to sort them out and list them
down one by one, especially if you don't
have the time to do it. What you can do is
create a general description of the box's
contents so you'll know what's in it.
7. Tip No 4: Whenever you (or your staff)
store or retrieve an item from your
storage unit, see to it that you update the
spreadsheet accordingly. This should be
done without fail. Otherwise, you'll lose
track of the office items kept in your rented
space.
