In an industry as competitive as self-storage, one might suspect there will be move in specials, or other types of discounts, to attract customers, and one would be correct in that suspicion. In this article we will talk about the most common of those discounts/specials, using our own Mouser Self Storage as an example.
We are Mouser Self Storage, serving South Fort Worth, Alvarado, and Johnson County. Call us at 682-800-3949 for more information about current self storage pricing and availability.
The most common types of move in specials.
Here is a move in special we ran a few months ago:
Pay one month, get one FREE Valid all of May 2024
A very good deal indeed, one which saves an entire month in rental fees, perfect for someone looking for long-term storage i.e. military about to deploy, a business executive temporarily moving out of town for the job, or simply a person looking for extra storage spaces for household possessions or home business inventory.
Other specials to look for.
Let’s take a look at another type of special offered at Mouser:
VETERANS & FIRST RESPONDERS
10% Discount On Rent. No Admin Fee
Since Fort Worth is so close to several military bases, this special seems to be a no-brainer, our way of thanking the military, police, and fire personnel for serving our country and our city.
Is this type of discount common among storage places? We can’t speak for other companies; all we can do is tell you that they are common with Mouser Self Storage and with our sister company, Blule Mound 287 Self Storage in North Fort Worth.
Do your homework.
The exact nature of the specials will vary from storage company to storage company. Some will offer half off the first month. Some will offer half off the first two months. Some will only offer a discount on specific sizes of units, usually the units which have the least amount of rental traffic. We have even seen “no extra charge for climate control self-storage” the first month.
And now for a word of caution.
We all love shiny new toys, and we all love saving money, but don’t let the sparkling toy or the one-time savings distract you from doing your due diligence. Check out reviews for any storage facility you consider doing business with. As you might suspect in an industry as large as self-storage, there are good companies and there are companies which are not, shall we say, totally trustworthy or easy to deal with.
A simple Google review search should provide the answers you need, or simply ask for opinions/recommendations from friends or relatives. No matter where they send you, chances are excellent that there will be move in specials available to you because, as we stated before, this is a very competitive industry and move in specials attract business.
