The New York Times quotes the Self Storage Association as saying that one of 10 households rent self-storage units, largely for emotional ties, not wanting to part with their possessions. In America, the self-storage industry is an indicator not only of the economy but also of the national psyche. The New York Times wrote that the business had its beginnings in the ’60s. Initially up to the ’80s, self-storage facilities received the possessions of people undergoing a life-changing event such as marriage, divorce, death or moving to a new place. The industry experienced a boom when people started having pied-a-terres or vacation homes and accumulated more possessions through inheritance.
With only 2.5 years in the business, Safehouse Storage is the first of its kind in the Philippines. Starting with 16 storage units, the company has progressed to 200 units and counting. Being the first in the business gives us the advantage with regard to experience and giving the utmost convenience for our valued clients. We value service and giving quality service is our number one priority.
How does it work?
Clients inquire about the services, reserves and gives the necessary requirements (signed contract and payment), then the client stores their items. Easy as that!
Not only do we offer our storage services but also offers a wide array of services to give our clients the convenience and peace of mind. We have our packing service to ensure that your valuables are well protected during transit and storage. Our moving makes it convenient for our clients to transport their items from their place anywhere in the Philippines to Safehouse. We could also do local and international moving. To ensure the protection of your items from any mishaps, Safehouse also offer insurance with a starting coverage of P100,000. Safehouse could also conduct an auction if ever the client wants to sell their items in storage or if the client hasn’t paid their storage payables for three months. Lastly, our records management help corporations in making sure that their files and records are stored in an orderly manner.
Clients
Storing in Safehouse is most beneficial for start-up businesses and big corporations. Instead of getting another office space or a big warehouse, they could store their inventory, marketing paraphernalia, and company files and records. Our clientele ranges from international airline companies (Qatar and ANA), investment houses (First Metro Asset Corporation and Unicapital Securities Inc), restaurants (Aria, Nolita, Gaudi, Epic Boracay), small and medium enterprises (Alterations Plus, Blow up babies, and Taxi Media).
However, 60% of our clientele are for personal use. These are the people who are living in small condo spaces, having their houses renovated, or balikbayans who need a temporary place to store their items.
Ultimately the storage industry was fueled by a consumerist culture and people’s desire for holding on to their possessions for sentimental reasons. Buying furniture has become a national habit that it has become a commonly stored object. People hoard their furniture while saving for their new homes, or store their old stuff while displaying the new ones so as not to clutter up the house.
Storage has now become a necessity in the Philippines. While homes are undergoing renovation, the furniture can be parked in the self-storage unit. For inhabitants of compact condominiums, a self-storage unit can absorb their excesses.
Safehouse Storage isn’t just providing a second home for possessions or paper. People look for service. This is why we just don’t offer our storage services but Safehouse is known to be a one-stop-shop company for storing and moving. We value not only big clients and customers but every single client we cater. May it be client storing in our locker units or a person storing in our 100sqm units, everyone is valued and treated in a very special and personalized way.
