Spring is here! Boy this has been a long cold snowy winter. For some states with record-breaking snowfalls they are probably really ready to see spring. Now the sun has come out. The snow has stopped, and the robins are out starting to sing. The daffodils are starting to bloom, and yes, the self storage and secret shopping calls are starting to flow. Everyone love spring . Taking calls for self storage and make calls for secret shopping clients all over the great US is what some companies do. Why do self storage people love spring?  The college students start calling for self storage and taking more secret shopping calls? This early in the game it is probably their parents who are calling in now for self storage. Yes, students no matter what generation are still procrastinators. But we have a few students who will call early. Especially if they have been in school for a few years and remember last year when the self storage facility were filled and could not find a small space.

There are many self storage and secret shopping facilities in the US. Some self storage companies have many facilities and their facilities fill up completely. And they are big stores, lots of self storage and the need for secret shopping services. It is not only the students that fill them up but they do take the majority of the units. Do not think that if you have great business coming in the door that you do not need secret shopping services. Secret shopping is a great way to monitor your self storage business.
 
Most students want a 5×5 space. All they have are dorm things, a 5×5 space is about the size of small bathroom so this size works perfect for them. And besides they are so excited about leaving for the summer they just throw their things in there. Now the ones who are smart about it, will get with several of there friends and get a larger self storage unit and split the cost. That really saves then some money, and we all have heard of the poor college students who eat noodles all semester long. So they like saving money.
 
The 10×10 size usually works well for them. That is a size like a small bedroom size. And really it would hold a full bedroom and living room, some kitchen things and maybe even a washer and dryer just depending on how they utilize the space. So the students will get with three or four friends put their things in together and save money. Only thing with this is one person does have to be responsible for the bill.
 
The self storage and secret shopping industry has grown so much in college towns like Columbia, Missouri. The self storage companies with many locations can still grow. So they will be for sure to help accommodate a lot of students in their self storage needs. And they will probably need more secret shopping services as well. Secret shopping can help your business grow. Try secret shopping for your self storage buisness.  

Now May will come and those procrastinators will call and we will try to the best of our ability to find them a self storage unit. If there is not a small one left then we will suggest maybe sharing with friends but nonetheless we will try to help, and hope we still have something left.

So spring is here. The birds are singing the daffodils are blooming and if you are a student do not procrastinate try something new this year, call early.
