Considering how long mini storage has been around, and considering how many people use mini storage, it is amazing how many of those people do not shop around for move in specials, specials which can easily save them hundreds of dollars in rental expenses.

What are mini storage move in specials?
Many self-storage companies will offer enticing specials to lure customers into their place of business. Specials like “rent one month get second month free,” or something like” first month half-price.” These specials promise a great price, great price equals savings, and savings speak to customers who have limited funds. It is a good enticement, and it equates to increased business for many storage places.
Do all storage places offer them?
No, not all storage places offer move in specials, although we would estimate 75% do offer them. In a highly competitive industry like self-storage, move in specials are almost a necessity for a self storage business to draw in new customers. Still, it would behoove you to ask about move in specials if you do not see them offered on signage or on the website. Anytime you can save between $50-$200 in a month, you really need to advocate for those savings.
Make sure you rent secure self-storage while saving money.
We would be remiss if we did not issue a warning, of sorts, with regards to move in specials. We are reminded of an old saying our grandmas were fond of. It goes something like this: “You can put a dress on a pig, but you sure don’t want to take that pig to the prom. At the end of the day, dress or no dress, it is still a pig.”
Translation? Don’t let shiny promises of money saved distract you from the most important matter at hand: are your possessions safe at the self-storage business? Are they offering the very best in not only affordable self-storage but also secure self storage? The move in specials may make for great savings, but they may also result in your possessions being damaged and/or stolen, making the savings a moot point.
We are not saying this is an issue in all self-storage companies, but we are saying it is enough of an issue in many we have seen, so much so that you really do need to be aware of it. If the storage business does not offer the four main levels of security, pass on them no matter how cheap that first month may be.
