Partnering with Labor Services

In an effort to save money, more and more Americans are opting for do-it-yourself relocation options such as mobile self-storage. While happy to be saving big bucks on their move, some still are not willing or able to actually perform the labor-intensive process of moving and end up hiring moving labor providers.

As some mobile self-storage agencies have already found, forming strategic partnerships with these labor providers has provided an opportunity to further service their customers by offering a more complete relocation experience at a cost lower than a traditional moving service typically charges.

Have you considered or actually entered into such a partnership? What have you learned?

Using mobile storage to unpack

One usually overlooked part of a move is the unpacking process. Upon arrival at your new home, it is nearly impossible to know where all your items will "live" in your new home. For many, it can take weeks, or even months to figure out exactly where everything will go--especially for those already busy with work and other obligations.

Rather than cluttering your new home with boxes of unpacked belongings and hastily-placed furniture, consider unloading the non-essentials into a mobile storage unit. Conveniently located in your driveway, a mobile storage unit will allow you to place furniture and store items in a more deliberate fashion without the added eyesores of cardboard boxes and awkward furniture scattered about every room.
