Small businesses selling hand-made goods aren\u2019t so small anymore.<\/p>\n
In fact, Etsy recently released a report saying that its sellers contribute a combined $4.7 billion to the U.S. economy. That\u2019s a lot of scarves, necklaces, home d\u00e9cor items, and more.<\/p>\n
It seems that\u2014in this era of cheap, mass-produced goods\u2014people are beginning to value quality hand-crafted items.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s only one problem that comes with that kind of success: You may find that your business is starting to take over your home. The good news is that\u2019s an easy problem to solve. Let\u2019s take a look at how self storage can help<\/a><\/strong>\u2014no matter what you\u2019re selling.<\/p>\n Sure, you could pick up a scarf at the big-box store down the street for $5.99, but there\u2019s something so luxurious\u2014not to mention gorgeous\u2014about a one-of-a-kind hand-knit creation.<\/p>\n But to open your own online shop, you need to have a wide variety of product to display. Then there are all of your supplies, plus the materials you\u2019ll need to ship orders out.<\/p>\n If you have an extra bedroom, that might work. But if you\u2019re stashing supplies in your bedroom, dining room, or your spouse\u2019s office, you will quickly realize you\u2019re out of space and totally unorganized.<\/p>\n Renting a storage unit<\/a><\/strong> can give you just the extra room you need to allow your business to flourish. You can rent a unit from about the size of a closet to the size of a garage\u2014and there\u2019s no long-term commitment required.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a furniture maker, nobody has to tell you how much room the craft requires. Chances are, you\u2019ve already taken over your garage and your basement\u2014and are still in need of more space.<\/p>\n Self storage might be exactly what you need to allow your business to continue to grow. You can rent a unit as big as your garage. What\u2019s more, no long-term contract is required, which allows you to increase or decrease your storage space<\/a> to keep pace with the changing needs of your business.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an absolute dream to be an artist who is demand and selling pieces. But it\u2019s not quite as dreamy when your art has consumed your living space.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re running out of room, consider renting a climate-controlled storage unit. Your work will be protected from temperature and humidity swings and you\u2019ll get the full use of your home back. Plus, units are monitored 24\/7<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n At StorageMart, we pride ourselves on our clean and well-lit self storage units that are available to rent on a month-to month basis.
