Since I make my rounds at the facility, I’ve noticed that many of our customers are visiting their storage units to get their harvest decorations. In the last few weeks, I’ve seen: scarecrows, pumpkins, hay, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, witches, skeletons, and numerous garden signs being dragged out of storage.
It never occurred to me that some people use self-storage to store holiday decorations, but many of them actually do! And, I just know that as soon as Halloween and Thanksgiving are over, these decorations will go back to storage, and, just like that, out comes their Christmas decorations.
On one of my rounds, I conversed with a customer who has sky-high boxes of Halloween decorations and costumes. She told me that she has a Halloween bash every year and was looking forward to this year’s major extravaganza.
I am beginning to understand that our customers are quite creative when it comes to using their storage; and, that self-storage goes beyond a job transfer or a family relocation.
