Commercial Storage Sittingbourne: Helpful To E-commerce Businesses

Commercial storage Sittingbourne is helpful for a variety of businesses including e-commerce businesses. Here, we are going to focus on how it will help your e-commerce business.

2024 saw a record number of e-commerce businesses in the UK. There are over 163,278 active limited companies but this does not include sole traders so the true total could be more than double this amount.

This increase has been due to the growing trend of online shopping mixed with ease of access we now have to the internet via mobile phones. There was a high increase in e-commerce shops in 2020 as people were having to shop online but a high majority of people have continued to shop online.

If you run an e-commerce business, commercial storage will be a big help. Within this article, we are going to look at how it will help you and your e-commerce business.

Better Inventory Management

One of the biggest benefits of using commercial storage is that you have better inventory management. With an e-commerce business, you will ship a lot of your products to customers and having good inventory management will make this a lot easier to navigate.

Commercial storage will allow you to organise all your stock in a way that works for you. This will make packing parcels easier but it will also help you to not over or understock.

High Levels Of Security With Commercial Storage Sittingbourne

All professional commercial storage will come with high levels of security, including alarms, smoke and fire detectors, CCTV surveillance, pin-code access and gated access. Having good security features will mean that you can have peace of mind that your business assets are all being kept safe.

Minimising Costs

When you are running your own business, in order to be profitable, you need to keep costs under control. Commercial properties are very expensive, particularly if they are only being used to house stock.

Using commercial storage is a more cost effective way to get the storage space that you need right now. In the future, you could move to a larger storage space or if you want a brick and mortar store one day, like Season Time, you could move to this when your business has more profits coming in.

Flexibility And Scalability Commercial Storage Sittingbourne

Using commercial storage allows for easy scalability as many storage facilities offer flexible rental contracts. As your business grows, you will be able to easily upsize your storage unit so it meets your evolving needs.

In many storage companies, including Cinch Self Storage Sittingbourne, you can add some extra storage to cover you for a busy time period, like Christmas.

If your needs change or you do decide to move your shop from online to a permanent premises, you will be free to leave your storage unit even if your rental agreement has expired.

Better Work/Life Balance

Many e-commerce businesses start as a side hustle within the founders home. This is a great way to save money as it minimises cost set up. However, as your business grows, it can quickly take over your home and life. All of your stock and equipment will be in your house and you are always at work and, when it is your own business, it is hard to shut off.

By using commercial storage, you will find a secure place to store your stock and equipment so your home will get your home back. And you will be able to set boundaries for work so you can get a better work/life balance.

When reviewing our Sittingbourne store, James Laming had these very kind words to say:

“Jon & Anita in the Sittingbourne branch have been nothing but exceptional when it comes to customer service since moving into the storage facilities. It’s refreshing to see this level of customer service in this day and age. Jon went above and beyond to secure me two outside units which has made life easier for my day to day work and also for the deliveries into the facilities. I’ve not had anyone I know need storage facilities however based on Jon & Anita, I’d happily recommend Cinch Storage because of them alone.”
