easyStorage Scotland’s Seven Steps to Help with Cost of Living

Housing costs rising at over 8%. Consumer Prices Index inflation over 10%. All of the UK, including Scotland, is feeling the pinch. Shop prices rose by a record 5.1% in August as the war in Ukraine raised costs for farmers, while fresh food prices also rose by 10.5%.

Cost of living hikes. Fuel hikes. Interest rate hikes. Things are simply getting more expensive, and more cost hikes are expected.

In true easyStorage Scotland style, the team has looked at what they can realistically do to help people, be they individuals or businesses (whilst still stay solvent themselves, of course!):

1.       Cheaper storage

If you are with an existing self-storage service, there is every chance that you are paying too much. easyStorage prices come in at around half the price of traditional self-storage, and will even collect from your existing storage unit, free of charge.

(Other offers do still apply on top of this.)

2.       12 WEEKS at 50% OFF for all new customers

As if the easyStorage offer wasn’t already great across the board easyStorage Scotland has brought in half price storage for the first 12 weeks.

3.       Additional discounts for long term storage

If you need longer term storage, additional discounts can be made available.

4.       Freebies

·         FREE transportation crew to take things into storage

·         FREE fuel for transportation into storage

·         FREE security seals

·         FREE access to your storage pod

5.       Key worker discounts

All of the following key workers, the people who keep us safe and well, people we consider everyday heroes, are entitled to a further easyStorage Scotland discount as a thank you for the work supporting communities across Scotland:

·         NHS workers

·         Blue light workers: Police, fire and ambulance personnel

·         Care sector workers: home carers, care unit staff

·         Armed forces (Navy, Army, Airforce, MoD and Reserves)

·         Council employees

6.       Students

easyStorage Scotland is proud of the service it offers students, and goes the extra mile with collection and deliveries at Universities and colleges across Scotland.

7.       Pensioners

A State pension is barely enough to exist on in the current climate, and with winter looming the price of heating properties looks frightening.

easyStorage Scotland offers a pensioner discount.

These links may also help, by the way:

·         Every year, millions of pounds of benefits go unclaimed by older people in Scotland. Age UK wants to change that and is running some free benefits workshops, online. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/scotland/information-advice/benefits/free-online-benefits-workshop/

·         easyStorage recently answered a couple’s question about turning space into money:  Can space mean money? https://www.easystorage.com/blog/can-space-mean-money-ask-the-easystorage-experts

How to Keep Your Seasonal Clothes in a Self-Storage Properly

Let’s admit that not all of us have been blessed with enough space in our closets to store clothes that are not yet in time to be worn. We can free up more space in our closets and avoid looking it disorganised through finding available storage solutions around us. Self-storage can provide you more than just the space you need.

Why should you consider renting a climate-controlled storage unit?

Just as how time passes by so quickly, everything around us evolves as fast as time does. With the advanced technology that we enjoy nowadays, it brought a great impact on how things are being modernised. The same goes for the self-storage industry – during its earlier days, typical storage units follow the traditional setup. Back then, facilities are the usual box made of metal, window-less with natural ventilation, and lockable by the renter. Fast forward to the present time, self-storage facilities have immensely developed into advanced operating units. If you will notice, most of the storage companies today offer modern features that highly contributes to their marketing strategies and one of the greatest innovations out there is a climate-controlled storage facility which is becoming popular now.
