Adding Mobile Storage To An Existing Moving Company

Moving companies that became MI-BOX dealers and added mobile storage to their business increased their profits and expanded their market share. To some customers, the price of a full service move may take them by surprise. They simply don't understand the business. They don't need to. They want cost effective solutions. Instead of losing customers who think the cost of a full service move is too expensive, mobile storage can be a perfect solution. Dropping off a storage container for these customers will allow them to experience first hand what it takes to move. Many customer begin to load containers with the smaller items. Cleaning out closets, seasonal items, basements and garages takes time. These items are usually done first by the homeowners to declutter their homes and get it ready to sell. It allows the customers the time needed to sort items and pack them into the containers. Once the containers are loaded, they are picked up and stored until the customer's home is sold. Having experienced some of the issues of moving first hand, many customers are much more receptive to paying a professional to move the rest of their belongings. The price of the full service move is also less as the customer already packed 5,000 -7,000 lbs in a MI-BOX storage container. The move takes less time as many of the smaller items are out of the way, leaving only the larger more expensive items that the customer wants and needs help with. Once a customer calls, the mover will have a greater advantage of capturing that customer by offering cost effective, convenient solutions that fit their needs. This is a proven method to gain more business that works very well with our existing movers who joined the MI-BOX team.

Adding MI-BOX To An Existing Self Storage Business

Adding mobile storage to an existing self-storage business is one sure way of reaching more customers. Mobile storage most effectively services about 1 hour radius from any facility. Imagine attracting a customer base from over an hour in every direction. It services new customers and reaches new markets. It compliments self-storage and provides additional moving and storage options for customers. Offering new mobile storage products and services can make any self-storage business stand out among its competition. Placing a mobile storage container outside of the highly visible locations of self storage attracts customers. Many customers will stop in to ask about their moving and storage options. Attracting new customers, increasing walk in traffic and offering new services are great ways to build business. Mobile storage allows self-storage operators to service the on site market for customers who simply want convenience. Leaving a container on a customer's site works great for home remodeling, garage projects, home additions, rental homes, and commercial contractors. These are new customers not traditionally serviced by self-storage. Another great market is the site to site movers or the UHauler's. For the price sensitive customers who want to save money and want to do the work themselves, mobile storage offers the convenience of time. No truck rental issues, no time constraints, no pressure to get the job done all in one day. Mobile storage allows them the time to complete their move when it's convenient for them. As a self-storage owner, adding mobile storage to your existing business will allow you to service these and more new customers.
