How warehouse storage units can upgrade your online shop

3 minute read
January 3, 2024

You’ve started your online shop and the orders are flooding in. There are hundreds of parcels waiting to send, new stock arriving any minute, and your living-room resembles an industrial factory for a large-scale global shipping supplier. Then a single, beautiful thought flashes across your mind: online business storage. In a moment of clarity, you wonder why you hadn’t had this idea sooner. But better late than never. Here’s how container and warehouse storage can take your online shop to the next level.

The challenges of storage for online shops

Whether you’re marketing on Amazon, Etsy, or elsewhere, every online business owner knows that managing a virtual shop is about more than just showcasing an array of great products. It’s about logistics. And as tempting as it can be to operate from home, this is going to lead to challenges.

For one thing, while running a business from home can be cost-effective, it can get messy rapidly. Overflowing garages, cluttered living-rooms, and boxes stacked on every surface – sound familiar? And as the mess grows, your efficiency and inventory management will only suffer. Fortunately, container and warehouse storage units available from MORE! offer a simple and effective solution.

The advantages of warehouse storage units

So, what exactly is so great about online business storage? Let’s find out:

Space efficiency

Think what you could do with a dedicated space for all your products. With stock storage, you can systematically store everything in order and make it all easy to access. It’s like upgrading from a carrier bag to a walk-in closet.

Professionalism

If you’ve ever taken a video call with a client or supplier and the background has been a mess of boxes, you’ll know that managing an online shop from home doesn’t give the cleanest impression. With warehouse storage, those days are well behind you – unlike the boxes, which will hopefully be stacked out of view by now.

Security

With business stock storage from MORE! Self Storage, you have peace of mind knowing that your products are locked away in purpose-built facilities. You have exclusive access to your secure commercial storage unit and all our premises are monitored by 24/7 by comprehensive CCTV coverage.

Inventory management

A spacious warehouse storage unit allows you to organise your stock far better than you ever could in your bedroom or kitchen. This makes it significantly easier to keep track of products, monitor stock levels, and generally run a smoother online business.
