A Day in the Working Week of Sanne, Branch Manager at ALLSAFE Mini Storage Sittard

60% of people in the Netherlands live in a smaller home than they would like. There is also a need for additional space in Limburg, among both private individuals and businesses. ALLSAFE Mini Storage in Sittard is the first location in the province of Limburg and is situated near the Fortuna Stadium. Sanne, branch manager at ALLSAFE in Sittard, explains what her working day looks like and what she experiences with customers who rent storage space in Sittard.

What does an average day at ALLSAFE Mini Storage in Sittard look like?

I always start the day by walking through the building. I check whether the corridors have been left clean and whether the temperatures are at the correct level. Cleanliness and safety are extremely important to us. We continuously monitor the temperature and humidity to ensure that all stored belongings remain in good condition. We carry out another inspection at the end of the day as well.

Providing advice about renting storage space

After the first inspection, we prepare for the scheduled appointments. People visit us for storage advice and to rent a storage unit. We take the time to understand each customer’s situation so that we can provide the most suitable advice possible. Many people do not know exactly how much storage space they need. More than 60% think they need either a larger or smaller unit than they actually require. Based on their needs, we can accurately estimate which storage unit size is most suitable for them.

Customers who also need help with transport can make use of our free transport options, including a moving van and a covered trailer. We can even help customers carry their belongings through our Moving Assistance service. Our Moving Assistance service can be booked for €40 per hour. The assistant comes to your location with the moving van and helps transport your belongings to the storage unit. This means you do not have to arrange transport or carry all your belongings yourself. For new customers, our Moving Assistance service costs only €30 per hour.

Moving and packing materials are a valuable service for customers

There is also a high demand for materials that protect belongings before they are placed in storage. Customers naturally value their possessions, which is why we offer protective materials such as bubble wrap, packing paper and moving boxes. On a busy day, we can easily sell several hundred moving boxes. ALLSAFE offers high-quality moving boxes at the best price. For example, our size L moving boxes are available from just €0.94 each. That can save you one euro per box compared with boxes from a DIY store.

Contact with business customers

Between appointments, we also make a large number of phone calls. We advise businesses in and around Sittard about renting additional space, including webshop owners. Many webshop owners run their businesses from home but are unable to store their inventory there, either because of limited space or legal requirements. An affordable storage unit with flexible rental terms can then provide the perfect solution. It is very easy to move from a smaller unit to a larger one, or the other way around.

One of the advantages of renting storage space at ALLSAFE in Sittard is that we also offer business postal addresses and can take care of goods receipt and parcel shipping. Businesses can receive deliveries and send parcels to their customers through us at an affordable rate. This is ideal when you run a webshop. These services are, of course, also useful for other businesses and private individuals. We are also a GLS ParcelShop, where people in and around Sittard can collect and send parcels.
