Franchise Opportunities in storage?

2009-12-15T15:24:00.000+04:00

Earning though a franchise is not a new trend. This concept has been around since many years in Dubai. For those who are still not aware of this concept let me start with what franchising is all about.

Franchising gives the franchisee (i.e. you) the authority to conduct a business using the name, philosophies and operating methods of another company (franchisor). This authority is attained when the franchisee and the franchisor enter into an agreement that lasts for a limited number of years. The duration depends upon the policies of that company.

If you are interested and like the idea of opening a storage business even though you don’t have infrastructure of your own, there are a few storage facilities in Dubai that can help you out. Besides, there are many benefits when it comes to opening up a business within a franchise, compared to doing it all by yourself.

When you run a self storage solution in Dubai as a franchisee, your company primarily earns a trusted customer base, a well-built reputation as well as the support of the franchisor. They sometimes provide you with the infrastructure necessary for the maintenance of the storage facility in Dubai as well. But before investing in a storage franchise, be sure to investigate. Find out about the history of the company, its image and its duration in the storage industry.

The Box our Dubai storage company also provides franchise opportunities within UAE. For more information on the requirements and procedures of hold a franchise, visit our website www.theboxme.com.

Help Us Help You

2009-12-08T15:24:00.000+04:00

A good business always looks to keep the customer happy by providing superior quality to its customers. One mistake in business and we’re done. After that it would surely take a while for our customers to trust us all over again. This goes for the storage business as well. In here, there are no 2^nd chances. Storage facilities in Dubai have to think twice before making any provision. Will we be able to satisfy the customer well or not?… is one of our main concerns.

As a result, every storage facility in Dubai has their own set of rules and regulations. Some items are permitted to be stored at the facility and some are not. All that is asked from the customers is to abide by the rules. They need you to understand the reasons why the storage of particular items are banned.

Most Dubai storage companies allow the storage of small as well as huge objects (vehicles) to be stored there. But things like inflammable items, animals or items that can easily create unhygienic conditions for other goods are not allowed to be stored in modern facilities. If one of the main reasons we use a storage unit is security, then what good will come of storing dangerous items in there?

Our storage company in UAE called The Box also has restrictions on the storage of certain goods. We deny some goods under precautionary measures. Feel free to submit any comments or inquiries under our ‘Contact Us’ section on our website: www.theboxme.com.

An Intrinsic Element: SPACE

2009-12-03T15:14:00.002+04:00

With all the distraction of our everyday lives, we hardly think about a basic element called ‘space’. Space is vital for living. It is important to everyone so it shouldn’t be taken for granted. All the storage facilities in Dubai fulfill this need for space whenever you desire. They understand how space matters.

We go on purchasing things to beautify our homes without realizing that there isn’t much free space left in the house. But lucky for those living in the city, a Dubai storage company is always at hand. Another common instance that demands space is during renovation. Of course renovating your home can never be a bad idea, but we fail to concentrate on the furniture, the antiques, etc. that get affected in the process. Subsequently, at a later point in time, we are caught up with so many things and no place to store all our possessions.

There are many household storage companies in Dubai at the moment, offering discounts and/or competitive prices on storage. Why not just rent a section and ease your life? Storage facilities today don’t just lock your stuff and swallow the key. At least the ones in Dubai city are not about that. They do much for your belongings.

The storage opportunities provided by The Box are anomalous. Here you will experience a highly trained group of staff members, right from the time you get in touch with their company till the time the goods are back at your place, safe and sound.

People of Dubai and Self-Storage

2009-11-12T14:04:00.001+04:00

Self-storage units are used by those in Dubai at an alarming rate. Why? - Is the question you might ask with all naturality. Well this blog is here to decipher the same. A Dubai resident mainly considers a storage facility in Dubai as a back up. Life is unpredictable. So who knows whether you can get a space in time, to store your things… They think it is better to stay on the safe side and rent a unit to help them out in times of trouble.

Every other reason people use household storage in Dubai is ultimately related to the main reason above. People take advantage of a storage facility for almost anything.

You might get stuck mid-way in the process of relocation anytime. You have bought a house and you are ready to shift into it. But cleaning and dusting the house is also necessary before getting settled. What would you do at a time like this? Well, this would be a really great time to have a storage unit at hand. Of course you will never be relocating all the time. Instead of leaving the facility vacant, you can easily store some things that are cluttering your home and get them out only when they are required.

Many in Dubai have big homes, but there are some who don’t. A storage solution in Dubai easily makes up for the lack of space in your house, letting you live comfortably.

How to Protect Electronic Items

2009-11-12T14:04:00.000+04:00

Climate controlled storage is required for many things today. Such things can range from organic material to musical instruments. When I say organic I don’t only mean food items. Organic also refers to things made of wood, leather, etc. Apart from obvious things that need climate controlled facilities, we often forget that electronic items also need some protection. They could get spoilt very easily due to dust, dirt and humidity. Thus a suitable storage company in UAE for electronic goods is one that has appropriate climate control features in their units.

Most of us are aware about electronic items being susceptible to moisture and that dry places are much better for things like these. Moisture is really bad and also makes items damp and musty. Climate controlled storage solutions in UAE are good for your belongings for this reason. They don’t let moisture seep into your devices. So if you happen to stay around the costal areas, you might as well consider the climate control option. But dust? Not everyone takes care of that. Every electronic item you need to preserve must be perfectly bubble wrapped and needs to be placed in boxes. Only boxes well packed and sealed with tape can sneak away from dust filling on the items they bear inside them. We can’t run away from the dust entirely, but climate controlled storage facilities in Dubai are a better bet.

Stock the electronic devices and gadgets that aren’t in use, at a store house like The Box.

Revolutionary Climate Controlled Storage

2009-11-11T14:04:00.001+04:00

As every other business evolves, the self–storage industry also has. Gone are the days when a storage facility just meant renting out a space. Taking care of the valuables in it has now become an added advantage to consumers even here in Dubai. Climate controlled storage has become a popular feature in Dubai storage companies only since the last decade.

The revolutionary climate-controlled storage option and the cost-effectiveness of renting a storage solution in Dubai are 2 things that maintain customers. Storage facilities that provide this feature are the ones who are benefiting too by having their units full throughout the year. So basically, there’s a win-win situation for the customer and the company.

The conditions in our homes, our garages or ordinary warehouses are usually extreme. It is dry, very cold or humid in such places. Apart from the temperature conditions at warehouses, another factor of concern is the shape your belongings are going to be in once they are out of storage. Only a climate controlled storage facility in Dubai with a team to take care of your goods will be able to keep your belongings unaffected.

Climate controlled facilities are used by almost everyone for goods made of different kinds of material. But there are certain goods that must not be denied this facility. Electric items, clothing, mattresses, upholstery, paintings, artwork, things made of wood /leather and even musical instruments need to be kept in climate-controlled storage. Visit The Box for more on our climate-controlled facilities.

The Box is also a Fulfillment Centre

2009-11-11T14:04:00.000+04:00

This is surprising yet true. Our company is well known for storage, but we are also a fulfillment centre. This could be good news for your business as the fulfillment process involves a lot of work. At our Dubai storage company, this job includes picking, packaging and fulfilling your product directly to customers, distributors or end-users.

For those not very well versed with the fulfillment process, here’s a short explanation of the term. The fulfillment process of a company begins when an order for the product is received. It generally involves warehousing, finding the item ordered, packaging it, and shipping it to the right address. It can be done in 2 ways. You can either do it in-house or by outsourcing it. The fulfillment task done by our storage solution in Dubai may seem simple, but in reality is very hard to perform. This is because there are a lot of complications and mishaps that normally occur during the process. But The Box is totally aware of such problems and also prevents them from taking place.

Every company follows a different fulfillment procedure, but The Box is familiar with most of them. So when you decide to avail of our services, all you have to do is state the one your company follows and we will be right with you.

Not all storage companies in UAE have as many services as The Box does. For bookings or information on this service, log on to www.theboxme.com.

Is self-storage really that useful?

2009-11-10T14:04:00.001+04:00

The concept of storing things at a storage facility in Dubai is becoming very popular with homes and businesses. Ever wondered why? Dubai storage companies are coming up with more and more options when it comes to storage. They have different facilities like long term / short term, climate controlled storage, etc. This variety is what people want. Hence they find that investing in a storage unit is highly beneficial.

Apart from it being used as a space saver, a storage solution in Dubai is useful in many ways. Think about it. A storage facility can be useful while renovating your home. Otherwise, you could keep aside those things that you rarely use in them. Thus storage units are great to use on a temporary basis. You could also use such units to store things that are bound to deteriorate over time. Such things could range from paintings, sculptures, leather or wooden furniture, old paper documents, Christmas cards, hobby collections or even an extra car or a boat. If you would like to store any of these items in a facility, then you should probably go for a long term storage option. Signing up for long term storage is useful as the team at your facility will be able to take care of them in every way possible. Right from keeping your storage unit clean to providing the right temperature to your goods, a storage solution always turns out to be advantageous.

Caring for the Collector’s Item

2009-11-10T14:04:00.000+04:00

Packing your cherished collectibles is much stiffer than packing the rest of your belongings when you plan on a move. And packing them the right way is definitely worth it, as this is the only way to make sure that that you are going to end up unpacking without any of your items being damaged. But where will you be able to find the right people for the job? A Dubai moving service is the answer.

Movers at a moving company in UAE, have a knack at packing fragile items. Submitting your collectibles to a company that has a good reputation and is well known in your city/country is the best thing to do. I say this because there are some precautions that need to be taken while packing; regarding how to pack and what should be used to pack. Dubai movers never use old boxes or boxes that may have been designed for other purposes. They use special storage boxes that are tough at the bottom. This reduces your chances of the box giving way. A professional moving and packing company has a lot of items that you may not be able to find on a regular basis that are useful at keeping your collectibles safe. Depending on the size of the collectibles, these professionals figure out the kind of packaging material that needs to be used. They ensure that your items have the least possible chance of moving or swaying during transportation.

For professional packers/movers, contact The Box.

According to The Box, a storage company in Dubai, mailbox services are conveniently replacing post office boxes today, simply because they have more benefits and useful features. They are also inexpensive compared to a traditional post office.

She reveals that, ‘The mailbox system works well as it is a centralized form of communication with 24 hour access. Besides, such a facility caters to providing us with different sized units depending upon the amount of space our mail requires.

With wine becoming popular among tourists in Dubai, hoteliers are giving prime importance to wine storage facilities at The Box.

Dubai is one of the major tourist destinations of the world. Its economy has grown slowly and steadily. The oil reserves of Dubai are largely responsible for the development of this emirate. But as the depletion of its resources was realized, the city quickly came up with the plan of investing in tourism.

Most of Dubai’s revenue comes from tourism. With people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds visiting and moving to Dubai from all over the world, the popularity of the wine market has been increasing tremendously. Thus in order to maintain the level of tourism in the city, good wine needs to be imported time and again. This is why The Box started attributing their wine storage facilities in Dubai as a big need of today.

Hotels are facing a huge problem stocking their extensively long list of wines, while distributors in Dubai are facing the problem of stocking unsold as well as new wine. Their inability to properly store old wine also leads to huge amounts of spoilage and wastage. Therefore, many distributors around Dubai have turned to a storage facility in Dubai, called The Box. The climate controlled facilities, security and services provided by this storage company are commendable.

Apart from their services, The Box also offers affordable prices. Their facilities are fully equipped with different sized storage units at the customer’s disposal.

Surrender to a Storage Facility

2009-10-19T09:28:00.002+04:00

The sizes of our homes are getting smaller and smaller in modern Dubai. The rooms are also small enough only to hold essential items. Thus most of the area in your home is taken up by useful furniture, kitchen appliances and other essentials like closets, refrigerators or TV sets. People apply all sorts of ideas to their living space to make more room. But eventually they fail. This is because most people don’t understand that for something to move in, something else has to move out.

Now the only way to clear your house and acquire more room is to store all the items that are not in use at a storage facility in your city. If you live in Dubai, a Dubai storage company will turn out to be just right and useful.

Maximize the life of your Valuables

2009-10-17T08:01:00.003+04:00

The spaces in our homes are decreasing by the day because of the amount of new things pouring into our houses each year. This leaves us with no room for the things we don’t want to let go of, the things we once loved. This is the reason why storage facilities in Dubai offer many options to store the things we don’t want to use, but still want to possess.

Storage facilities in UAE are built in a way to protect your goods from external elements. Their roofs are strong and air tight. The facility as a rule is built at a height to prevent floods from damaging your goods. The temperature in your facility is also controlled, as extreme temperatures cause organic goods to spoil. Regulated facilities also provide the huge advantage of preventing termites from thriving and eating into items made of wood. Pests are also kept at bay through tough concrete and metal construction.

Different storage facilities specialize in different kinds of storage. It is sometimes better to store your valuables in a storage company in UAE that specializes in storing that particular item. The pricing also differs according to the level of security or precautions taken at the facility. But for most of your storage requirements, a climate controlled facility is an all-rounder. Your sensitive belongings will be protected perfectly there.

Our storage company in Dubai takes all the precautions necessary to maximize the life of your belongings. There is nothing that cannot be cared for at The Box.

Self-storage: Main Advantage

2009-10-17T08:01:00.000+04:00

Not having a self-storage facility to rely on is a drawback. As storage facilities in UAE are becoming a ‘must- have’ the storage industry is also advancing with the pursuit of providing customers with complete storage and removal satisfaction.

The biggest advantage that any storage facility in UAE can offer is - peace of mind. There is great satisfaction when you know that your valuable belongings are kept in a safe place. Storage companies in Dubai also offer high security measures like CCTV camera surveillance, sprinklers, alarm systems, high walls guarding the storage company and more. So this leaves us with no fear about the loss or theft of our belongings. Only a well secured storage facility in Dubai can guarantee such peace of mind.

When we talk about the security of our belongings, we sometimes tend to leave out the worst factor that can affect our goods. That factor is the weather. Climate controlled facilities play an important role in the security of your belongings. What is the use of securing your unit from the outside if your goods are ruined because of storage requirements (like packaging or the right temperature, etc.) not being adequately fulfilled? Thus, before signing up with a storage solution in Dubai, make sure it also has climate controlled facilities along with other security measures.

Peace of mind is what you can always have when you leave your goods at The Box. Anything from documents to RV’s can always find place at our facility in our Dubai storage company.

Dubai needs Wine Storage too

2009-10-18T08:01:00.001+04:00

Dubai has become one of the main business and tourist destinations of the world. With people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds visiting and moving to UAE from all over the world, the popularity of the wine market has been increasing tremendously. This is why wine storage facilities in Dubai are also given prime importance.

A liquor license is required by non -Muslim resident consumers in Dubai, as the sale and consumption is strictly controlled. To top that, hotels and distributors in Dubai face a huge problem stocking wine as they have extensively long lists. But then again, in order to maintain the level of tourism in the city, good wine needs to be imported time and again. Distributors in Dubai further face the problem of storing the wine that remains unsold. As a distributor, the lack of large storage spaces like those provided by a full-fledged storage facility in Dubai also prevent you from buying or stocking new wine. The inability to store wines at a good temperature also leads to its spoilage and wastage. Therefore, a climate controlled facility at a storage company in Dubai that is fully equipped, becomes your ideal option.

As mentioned earlier, the popularity of the wine market has been increasing in Dubai. As the wine market is directly proportional to the growth of the tourism industry, wine storage facilities in UAE have been developing for good. The Box also provides climate controlled facilities for storing a variety of goods. Visit www.theboxme.com for details.

Small-Engine Vehicles

2009-10-19T08:01:00.000+04:00

It is not a good idea to think that your small-engine vehicles like scoters, golf-carts, lawn mowers, etc. do not require maintenance. Such vehicles need as much attention as you give your car or a truck. During winter, these vehicles can easily deteriorate and get ruined. Therefore, small-engine vehicles are never abandoned in a storage facility in Dubai.

Take the example of a golf-cart. Putting such a vehicle away, depending upon the particular season it is not in use, can damage it profusely in several ways. Owners of golf-carts usually have a misconception about the maintenance and storage of one. It is assumed that shielding your small engine vehicle from the harsh weather is the only thing that can be done to protect it. Yes. Protection from the elements is required. But storing such vehicles at a particular temperature is also important, according to storage solution experts in UAE. This will prevent it from corroding. The battery also has to be disconnected and stored separately. It has to be kept clean, away from heat. A poorly maintained battery is mostly the problem in a small-engine vehicle.

Different small- engine vehicles have different maintenance procedures. That is why it is safest to pass on your worries to a storage solution in Dubai especially during the winters. The maintenance teams at Dubai storage companies are well aware of how to take care of big as well as small vehicles. Along with documents and seasonal goods The Box also stores and maintains vehicles.

A Storage Unit is a ‘Must-Have’

2009-10-20T08:01:00.005+04:00

A storage unit at hand will always surface as useful. As local storage facilities in UAE are now cost –effective, they also provide a bunch of services for you to choose from. Here’s why storage units are a must-have.

If you think it is a good idea to store your belongings at your friends or relatives place till the time you relocate or redecorate…. Think again. Imagine the discomfort you will be causing them by occupying their organized space. But when it comes to a rented unit of your own, there are not formalities and waits. Just check- in and store your belongings whenever you like.

Taking your goods to the Dubai storage company becomes really convenient as these companies also offer Dubai moving services. They also pack your stuff well and sometimes also allow you to use their moving vans for free.

Customized storage is also available depending upon your storage needs. What’s more is that you can easily store almost anything in a storage unit without worrying about the size of the object.

Also, unlike what most people understand, storage facilities in Dubai are quite affordable. This leaves us with no reason to be short of one. Companies offer a range of packages helping you choose one that suits your budget.

Any storage facility in UAE can be economical, but only a few of them are value for money. Our household storage in UAE called The Box provides safety and security too along with the above mentioned facilities.
