Storage Units in London for Christmas Markets
Mince pies, mulled wine and hand-crafted gifts galore, Christmas markets are truly magical! The festive holidays are a wonderful time of year for many, but for small retailers and market traders, it’s also the busiest. If you’re looking for somewhere safe to store your stock, our storage units in London could be the perfect solution.
Stock Storage
Self-storage allows small businesses to respond to seasonal demands. Whether you want to use our storage units in London for surplus stock all-year round or only during peak times, the team at Store That are always happy to help!
Rather than spending a small fortune on renting a warehouse or taking up valuable space at home, why don’t you think about renting a container? Here at Store That in East London, we have a wide variety of units available in a range of different sizes to suit your individual needs.
Save on Transport
If you’re a small retailer or market trader, the Christmas season can be hectic. It’s important to be as organised as possible to ensure your operation runs as smoothly as possible. To make life easier, you probably want to keep travel to a minimum to save on both cost and time. With storage units in London, your stock can be quickly gathered, loaded up, and transported to the streets and shops with ease.
How to Safely Store and Transport your Stock
Effective stock storage is one of the most important elements when it comes to running your own business or event. This is why the experts at Store That have put together some top tips to help you get started.
1. Store Heavy Items at the Bottom
This is probably obvious, but amid Christmas chaos, you’d be surprised how many people make this mistake. Always pack heavy items at the bottom of the pile so that your festive stock remains in good condition.
2. Use Appropriate Wrapping Materials
It’s important to wrap fragile and valuable goods in bubble wrap, tissue paper, or blankets to prevent them being damaged. Avoid using newspaper as sometimes the ink can smudge and stain certain items. If you require packaging material, we have some available in our shop.
3. Clearly Label your Boxes
To stack your boxes on top of each other, you need to ensure you’ve filled each box to the brim and the lid is sealed properly. Remember to label the containers so that you know what it’s inside each one. It’ll save you the hassle of searching through.
4. Create an Inventory List
If you’re ever in a rush, an inventory list will be your saviour. Record the contents of each box, give them a corresponding label and map your layout to help you find something quickly.
