StorageByMail.com Introduces Free Shipping for the Holidays

HOBOKEN, December 6, 2005 /PRWeb/ --- StorageByMail.com, the first storage company to partner with the United States Postal Service to offer unlimited storage space through the mail, announced today that it will offer customers free shipping through the end of the year. Packages received through January 1, 2006 will be eligible to receive a credit of up to $25.00 to cover the cost of adding it to storage. Customers can download and print prepaid shipping labels from the StorageByMail.com website.

The holiday period is generally one of the busiest times of the year for the storage industry. Companies like StorageByMail.com, as well as traditional mini storage (sometimes called self storage) facilities, see a surge in demand during the season as consumers and small business owners try to get organized. However, unlike most mini storage companies who respond by raising prices this time of year, StorageByMail.com has chosen to introduce a major new promotion. “For us, it’s just our way of saying thanks to our loyal customers and a way to entice new people to try our service,” said Angela Wong, chief marketing officer at StorageByMail.com.

Survey of Realtors Reveals 5 Tips for Getting Top Dollar for Your Home

HOBOKEN, October 19, 2005 /PRWeb/ --- A recent survey sponsored by StorageByMail.com revealed five simple tips consumers can take to ensure they get the best possible price when selling their homes. “Sometimes a little prep work can mean the difference between getting a good price and getting top dollar for your home. Our survey of 100 realtors in the New York metropolitan area resulted in some helpful advice for consumers,” said Angela Wong, chief marketing officer at StorageByMail.com.

Tips For Selling Your Home

1. Hire a Decorator to Set the Stage – Savvy homeowners have long turned to interior decorators to make their homes look like a page torn from Better Homes and Gardens prior to sale. And, contrary to popular opinion, this need not cost you an arm and a leg. Known as “staging” in the real estate business, a good decorator will help you select a neutral paint color, rearrange furniture, purchase sophisticated coffee table books, and even rent fine artwork for the big showing. When all is said and done, your home will look like it's ready for a photo shoot.
   Decorators who stage homes for sale typically charge between $75 and $150 per hour for their services. However, it’s an investment many feel pays for itself. In fact, a recent survey by Coldwell Banker Realty in the United States showed that staged homes consistently sell in about half of the time and often for a price as much as five percent more than non-staged homes.
2. Eliminate Clutter – Make sure your closets, shelves and pantries are not overcrowded. A cluttered home will appear visually smaller than it really it is. Similarly, a clean and well organized home will appear larger and more spacious to the eye. To make your home as roomy as possible, eliminate 50% of the clothing, sporting goods, collectibles and anything else that is currently taking up space in your home. Also consider strategically removing a few pieces of furniture. The effect will be dramatic and your potential buyers will perceive your home to be roomy and spacious.
   The easiest way to accomplish this is to box up anything you won’t need for the next 6 months and place it into storage.
3. Hold an Open House – Kick off your home selling campaign with an open house. Post signs and invite your neighbors, family and friends. They’re your best promoters and a great source of leads. Be sure to make your home as inviting as possible; coffee, fresh-baked cookies and a vase of flowers will go a long way. Tell your visitors about your home's finest selling points and, most importantly, collect their contact information so that you or your agent can follow up with a phone call the next day.
4. Hire a Professional Photographer – Today’s homebuyers do the bulk of their comparison-shopping online. In a matter of hours, they can compare literally hundreds of properties and will generally only visit those at the top of their list. They’ve grown to expect multiple high-quality shots of the interior and exterior as well as virtual 360 degree tours. If you want your listing to stand out, hire a professional photographer to create an online gallery for your home. For under $200, you can ensure web surfers give your home the attention it deserves.
5. Register a Domain – You want it to be as simple as possible for potential buyers to get information about your property. An easy way to accomplish this is to register a domain name with your property address (i.e. 300GardenStreet.com). Many registrars charge less than $10 per year to register a new domain and many offer professionally designed templates to help you get your site up in minutes.

Hurricanes Highlight Flaws In Emergency Preparedness Plans

HOBOKEN, October 17, 2005 /PRWeb/ --- Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have highlighted a serious flaw in the emergency preparedness plans of many families, small businesses and government agencies. Historically, people have relied upon local self-storage warehouses or banks’ safe-deposit boxes to protect their valuables. However, it takes just one major disaster to show how vulnerable those facilities can be.

“We recommend storing your important documents and valuables out of state. That way, when disaster strikes, it won’t be a total loss,” said Angela Wong, chief marketing officer at StorageByMail.com. “If it’s not something you use every day or if it’s irreplaceable, we strongly suggest you store it someplace other than your home or office. With StorageByMail.com, we’ve made it easier than ever before to store your valuables in a safe and secure location while still having them close at hand.”

StorageByMail.com Announces the Demise of the Traditional Mini Storage Business

HOBOKEN, June 6, 2005 /PRWeb/ --- For decades, consumers and small business owners who needed additional storage space had only one choice -- open the yellow pages and locate the local mini storage facility. Chances are, that facility was located in a bad section of town, did not offer a pick-up and delivery service and forced customers to pay the same flat monthly fee regardless of how much space they actually used in a given month.

Now, with the recent launch of StorageByMail.com, that has all changed. Through a partnership with the United States Postal Service, StorageByMail.com offers customers prepaid shipping labels that bring unlimited storage capacity right to their doorstep. Customers simply print a shipping label, affix it to the box they want to store and place it in the mail. Once the box is received, it is priced according to its exact dimensions and held in a central warehouse. Through the StorageByMail.com website, customers can keep track of their items in storage and request return delivery at anytime.

The StorageByMail.com business model capitalizes on several key trends in the marketplace. First, Americans are increasingly migrating into urban areas and trading space for location and lifestyle. Second, Americans are increasingly strapped for time and now want basic services delivered directly to their doors. These trends have transformed industries and led to the rise of innovative new companies including Netflix, FreshDirect and, now, StorageByMail.com
