Looking for a storage unit in San Diego? Give Big Box Storage a try! Welcome back to another installment of the weekly Big Box Storage blog. This week we are focused on storage units here in San Diego and how Big Box Storage can help you with renting one.

As you can see from the picture above we are talking about portable storage, where the storage is delivered to you. But in considering what to write this week it occurs to us that the term “storage” has changed radically over the last 10 years. For instance 10 years ago if someone had said “storage” to you in a conversation you might have immediately thought of the static, non-moving, storage units that are little more than a garage for rent at a storage facility. And you would have been at least 75% correct in that assumption. Something has changed over the last 10 years though to change the way we think of “storage”. Nowadays almost everyone has a cell phone, or an iPad, or other e-Reader. Additionally almost everyone has an email address and/or Facebook account. We don’t think about it after we have purchased or signed up for these services that storage is an active part of our daily lives with emails, pictures, addresses, and more all being stored digitally. Just this last week a story came out about Facebook is now storing old photos in “cold storage”. It’s interesting to discuss because the more we do in the digital space, the more we have to consider long term storage of all the information we accumulate over the years.

The same is with your real life possessions and paper work. Make sure that your real life possessions that you accumulate over the years are safe and guarded. Big Box Storage can be your long term solution to your “real life” storage needs. We have controlled-environment and secure storage units in San Diego to protect your belongings and keepsakes. If you own a business, call and ask about our long term discounts and let us store the old files you need to keep for tax purposes. Big Box Storage is your “real life” home for all your storage unit needs.

Hey Yelp users! Looking for storage? Give Big Box Storage a try!

Welcome back to another installment of the weekly Big Box Storage blog. This week, as you can tell, we are focusing on our friends that use the fun service Yelp and what kind of storage deals and options you have at Big Box Storage. Sweet!

Happy President’s Day weekend. Hope you had a chance to get out there an enjoy some of this amazing sunshine we have had the last few days. Now, let’s talk Yelp and storage rates. If you don’t know, Yelp is a customer driven service where Yelpers can write reviews and rate their favorite businesses based on past experiences. We are big fans of Yelp because the storage business benefits greatly from word of mouth experience. See if this sounds familiar “We are finally getting that new place we always wanted, but where are we going to store all of our stuff while going through escrow? Call Tammy and ask her what the name of that company was that she used for her move. Big Box or something?” With Yelp, people can hop online and see past reviews from their friends about businesses that they have worked with. Here at Big Box Storage we strive hard to be our very best with each and every one of our customers. We give you the costs up front, with no hidden fees. And we try to make the process of portable storage as easy and hassle free for our customers as possible. We even have a great offer for those that find us on Yelp. The next time you need storage, check out our reviews and make use of this offer.

“Welcome Yelp guests! Looking for storage space? Big Box Storage of San Diego is pleased to offer you a $50 discount toward your first month’s rent. Have a “Big Box” storage unit delivered to your address, load it at your leisure, and it’ll then be picked up for secure, accessible, indoor storing at the company’s local facilities.

Welcome to another installment of the Big Box Storage weekly blog update. This week there are so many fun things to talk about. Valentine’s Day is just days away, but in reality there is nothing romantic about a storage box. But Sunday is the Chinese New Year. This is the Year of the Snake. And those born in the year of the Snake have some interesting qualities and characteristics. Did you know that Snakes (those born during the year of the Snake, not the animal itself) become easily stressed and have to avoid hectic schedules and noisy atmospheres? We totally appreciate that! In fact here at Big Box Storage we are all about making things simple for you. With our door to door service in dropping off your storage container, pick up when you are not home, and 7 days a week free access to your storage.

Back to the Year of the Snake – did you know that the Snake is very sophisticated and cultured in their choices for home décor? The Snake is elegant and graceful and places emphasis on comfort when deciding what to decorate with. The Snake is materialistic and therefore must have as many of everything. Wow! Hey Snakes. If you find yourself running out of room for all your needs, we have affordable storage rates for you. And since we make things easy, and we will beat anyone else’s price.

Speaking of Encinitas and the surrounding areas, it looks like home sales are on the rise. We posted an article on our Facebook page this week talking about the Top 20 home selling zip codes in San Diego County for the month of December. And it looks like Encinitas and the surrounding areas are on the rise in home sales. If you happen to be one of those Encinitas homeowners in the process of selling their home, consider renting a Big Box storage unit to stage or “de-clutter” you home while presenting it to potential buyers. Did you know that you can rent one of our storage boxes for as short a time as a month? We’ll deliver the storage unit to your Encinitas home, you load it, we return to pick up the box to store at our local facility. At the end of the month we can redeliver your box to the same address or a new address in Encinitas or anywhere else in San Diego County. Now that’s convenient! And easy! Now above we mentioned that you can rent one of our boxes for $69 a month, but did you know that you can get that price even cheaper? We have long term storage options of 12 months or more that drop the price of one of our storage boxes to $59 a month (as of the date of today’s post). That’s right, if you need long term storage solutions you save an additional 15% a month by using Big Box Storage. We are here for you. 1-800-391-4890

For this week’s storage blog we want to share with you one of the great storage promotions we have around San Diego for renting one of our Big Box Storage units. This week we are talking about Yelp. If you are unfamiliar with Yelp, it is a website/service that allows the consumer to write reviews about businesses that other potential customers can read to get a grasp on the better companies out there to choose from (in the self-storage industry or otherwise). View a sample review here.

Yelp sometimes gets a bad rap sometimes for false reviews or for the overzealous nature of some of the reviewers, but we are quite proud of our review status. Currently if you go to Yelp and look up “Big Box Storage” and “San Diego” you will see the strong positive reviews as posted by previous customers.

In fact, on top of the great storage rental rates we offer, we really do pride ourselves on excellent customer service. We want the overall storage experience to be easy and hassle free for you the customer, as well as a great deal from an economic stance as well.

The last thing we want to point out about why Yelp is so awesome for storage renters throughout San Diego. It allows YOU as the customer to dictate the feedback. In this social media world, businesses are finding out that the consumers are truly the ones driving increased sales. More and more we are all looking to our friends, family, and social networks for recommendations on how to spend our hard earned money. With self storage needs, we appreciate any and all kind words you share about us. In the end, it helps to create new business for us. Thanks San Diego!

Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving and Black Friday? We sure hope you did. What a great time of the year with back to back Holidays and everyone in a festive and happy mood.

Now with Thanksgiving passed us, many people are thinking of the Christmas Holiday and thinking of decorating their trees; which leads us to this week’s blog post. Mayra in Eastlake (Chula Vista) called first thing Friday morning to access her Big Box Storage box because she needed to grab all of her Christmas decorations for her house. What a great idea! You can use Big Box Storage to store all of your holiday decorations year after year. And if that’s the case, you can sign up for long term storage which gets you an additional monthly discount on your storage unit (please call for details 1-800-391-4890). Turns out Mayra from Eastlake has been using Big Box Storage for exactly that purpose the last few years. In her words “it’s so convenient. I live in a condo and cannot keep all my wonderful decorations in home all year. This way I grab them when I need them, and then store them with you guys the rest of the time.” Thanks Mayra. You helped inspire this week’s post.

As we are writing this people are lining up on the streets of El Cajon today to enjoy the annual Mother Goose Parade Ð an event sponsored by Big Box Storage in prior years. Since the Mother Goose Parade is held in El Cajon every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we are also going to talk about Thanksgiving. What a busy time of year! Now obviously you are not going to need storage for your Thanksgiving stuffing, but maybe you live in El Cajon and need storage for other things. Possibly you need storage for your annual float in the Mother Goose Parade. Maybe you need to store all those presents you are going to purchase on Black Friday at the holiday sales. Or maybe you have some in-laws coming to town and need a place to stash them for a little bit. Just joking, we do not advocate locking someone in one of our storage boxes. But it might be fun for that one Uncle. Are we right?

Now we mentioned Black Friday before, and while storage is not something that really takes part in those door-busting deals like the mega stores, we do take part in a new tradition the next day. Small Business Saturday! We are a locally owned and operated storage facility and Big Box Storage is family owned.
