A True Mobile Office?
Are you crazy?!? I know that is what you are thinking. Who in their right mind would want to work out of a small 5 x 10 self storage unit? You would be surprised. Before you click away, just read what I have to say and then see if your thoughts are the same. You never know!
What Do You Want In A Mobile Office?
Let’s first agree on what we think a mobile office is. This is usually for the sales person, a trainer or company representative from another city that has to travel to College Station on a fairly regular basis. Maybe it is once a week, or one or two times a month. Usually only for a day or two. We aren’t talking about a branch or permanent office and we don’t want to go to the high expense of leasing an office that will only be used for a few days per month.
So if you are that person, what do you need each time you come here? A cell phone is obvious; so are your company resources (maybe a laptop, training aids, samples etc.). You need to be able to meet clients, though most of that will be in their offices. You have your cellphone and laptop for email and calls. Do you need a PO Box to receive mail?
And do you really want to drag all the other resources back and forth each time? What about if you need to set up the new items your client just ordered before you deliver them? And what about those items that will be delivered when you are not here? They can’t fit in the PO Box and they are not ready to be sent to the client.
And there are times when you need to fill in your paperwork before setting off to the next city.
So what do you use as a mobile office? You car? Hardly comfortable, especially in the Texas heat of summer. A hotel room? What if you don’t stay the night? And will they hold all your supplies and new deliveries until you return?
Self Storage Units
A climate controlled self storage unit is the ideal answer, and a Stop-N-Store climate controlled self storage unit is the perfect solution. Here’s why:
- Plenty of Room. We have different size units to suit your needs but a 5×10 or 10×10 is usually plenty for most people’s needs. You can put in a desk, chair, filing cabinets and still have room for your supplies, resources and deliveries
- Climate Controlled. Ideal for when you are there working, and even better for when you are not there, making sure everything is kept in pristine condition
- No Contracts. We can lease you a unit on a month to month basis. We give discounts for longer term leases.
- Much Cheaper Than An Office Or Hotel. Our monthly lease is less than the day rates of a hotel and are a fraction of the cost of office space
- Security. Each unit is individually alarmed and every person has a unique gate code to get onto the premises. On top of that we always log when the gate is opened and closed and when a unit is opened and closed.
- Fed-Ex, UPS & Deliveries Accepted. At Stop-N-Store we can accept your deliveries on your behalf (with prior arrangement) and place them in your unit, so next time you are in town they will be safely waiting for you.
