Making space for change in 2016

Focus on the small things in a business system or procedure – or the nuts and bolts – will ensure that those larger goals like increasing lead generation, boosting sales will just fall into place. One of those factors you need to get right when streamlining processes and systems is space and storage. And Need A Space are experts in space and storage.

This tends to be the kind of subject which is not always top of the agenda in business meetings. But without effective storage or space for work processes to take place, businesses collapse fast.  Space and storage is one of those factors that always need special attention.

Taking stock of 2015

So as we near the end of 2015 and the analysis sheets are out and you are contemplating how you can make things work even better in the new year, make sure you take into account all those variables which will make the budget for 2016 go that little bit further.

Selling online

For instance, in the online world, companies who need to keep a great deal of stock could not function without accessible storage space. When was the last time you questioned how much you are paying for that storage? Is it still a good deal? It can be a highly competitive market, so check out you are getting a good return on your money.

Cheaper London storage

Is your business located in London and are you still storing your equipment and archives in London? Think again. By storing data that does not need to be accessible outside of London you will make a great saving. (At Need A Space we regularly provide storage space for London businesses).

Seasonal storage

Seasonal sales need a good strategy whereby you can store products over the down period. Again, revisit price listings, and locations. Check out size of containers. You may be able to save money by placing storage in fewer containers.

Selling with a wide catchment area

Are you a salesman/woman travelling throughout the country? Precious time can be wasted (and energy) transporting all of your wares with you wherever you go. By storing products in a central accessible location while you are away you are more flexible and ultimately you can save money at the same time.

Storage at times of renovation

Can you see a time in 2016 when you will need to be renovating your business? Don’t let the changes get in the way of normal everyday procedures and systems. Stock from rooms under renovation can always be stored in a professional storage location.

Taking on more stock

Hopefully, 2015 has seen your business really thrive which could mean that you will be considering taking on more stock. Often managers don’t make that move because there isn’t the space to put the new stock. Don’t stop your company moving forward – professional storage can work with you to keep your business growing.
