How can you prepare your customers for their move during peak moving season? First and foremost, be sure to think about the move from your customer’s perspective. How can you simplify things? Then, consider the storage unit. Not all moving containers are the same. Be sure to offer a clean, safe, and secure unit for them to store their belongings. Does your moving company or portable storage business offers containers that are solid, weather-proof, and secure? Ultimately, you will offer both quality and convenience.
Let’s take a look at moving from the customer’s experience. Almost everyone moves a few times over the course of their lives. Whether it’s a move across town or across the country, the process is daunting. It’s time consuming, energy intensive, and stressful. Consumers seek a trouble-free experience. So, moving and storage operators have installed contactless reservations. In addition, there are new hands-free entry systems. All of this translates to simplified customer transactions.
Because moving is so common, especially during peak moving season, we have a lot of information about it. Read on for some moving statistics and tips for helping your customers through it all. And check out Boxwell’s durable moving containers!
