MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 2004
It's the time of year when thoughts turn to that annual rite of spring: spring cleaning--weeding out closets, sifting through drawers, rummaging through the basement.
Items have been sorted into piles:
-- The smallest (of course) "straight to the dumpster" pile--junk
that should have been tossed into the trash long ago;
-- The gigantic "can't live without it" pile--treasures the
owners don't exactly have a place for but would never dream of
giving away;
-- Finally the "save it for a rainy day" pile--the in-between
stuff that the collector doesn't necessarily want anymore, but
just might make he or she a millionaire the next time the
Antiques Roadshow rolls into town.
The thought of refilling those now-organized closets, neatly arranged drawers and expansive basement, however, makes the spring cleaner cringe. So what to do with all those beloved treasures? One option is to store them safely in a self-storage unit.
"It makes perfect sense," says long-time self-storage customer Carol Bloom. "I could not bear to get rid of the stuff in my storage bin. It's my past; it's me! Still, I don't want my home cluttered either. Keeping things in a storage bin accomplishes both objectives. My things are easily accessible, but don't take up precious living space."
Storage facilities are far better equipped today than in the past. Typical properties at Storage USA, with over 500 locations nationwide, are fenced in and offer features such as individual door alarms, computerized keypads, video monitoring and onsite residential managers for added safety. Climate controlled rooms and pest control provide protection for the most valued possessions. Individually lit units, extra-wide driveways and overhead rolling garage doors make moving items in a breeze. Packing and moving supplies are also available, and rental trucks are available at select locations.
"We strive to meet the needs of all our customers, whether they are looking for permanent storage for important paperwork, valuable antiques or cherished mementoes; temporary storage of household items; or moving supplies," says Buck Brown, Storage USA's Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
So dedicated is Storage USA to providing its customers with the highest level of service possible, that it offers its Total Storage Satisfaction Guarantee. If, for any reason, customers are dissatisfied with their service due to a failure to deliver on its promise, Storage USA will refund up to the current's month rent.
