The Emerging Importance of Outsourcing in the NYC Storage Industry
"A recent Inside Self Storage article tackles how self-storage companies can benefit from outsourcing some important business functions to reputable external parties. The article specifically recommends working with third-party providers for help with marketing, maintenance, general management, and payment processing to increase efficiency and lower operating costs. Doing so allows a storage company to focus on other important matters such as core business functions. Outsourcing gives companies more leeway to plan their growth and develop better products and services that respond to the specific needs of their clients. For instance, some NYC storage companies may target students who need temporary storage space for books. Companies like Gibraltar Storage go a step further by offering packaging materials that keep mattresses, books, and furniture protected while in transit—materials that students will find extremely useful when moving to and from dormitories."

Everyone Needs Space: Why the Brooklyn Storage Industry Is so Resilient
If there is one industry that has withstood the fallout from the recent economic recession and continued to enjoy substantial consumer demand over the years, that would be the self-storage sector. A Daydaily.com article reports that the self-storage industry generated $22 billion in revenue back in 2011, mainly due to sustained market demand and the fact that many consumers tend to purchase more things than they actually need. Indeed, some companies that offer storage in Brooklyn cater to apartment dwellers who may have more living space than their Manhattan neighbors yet still require additional space for excess items. Self storage companies like Gibraltar Storage, thus, offer specific services for households, businesses, and students to accommodate nearly every item imaginable, from legal documents to furniture, or even vehicles. These services vary in terms of the items that can be stored, as well as the facilities each storage company can provide.

Make Micro-Living Possible with Convenient Storage in Queens
"CTV News recently covered the launch of a unique exhibit in the Museum of the City of New York that features a 325-square-foot studio apartment where visitors can stay for a single day. The micro-unit features small yet comfortable accommodations, with not a single inch of space wasted. Visitors' reactions to the showcase were mixed, but generally positive, with praise directed toward the creative use of space in these model apartment units. Space has always been a problem for residents of New York City, which is notorious for its rather high urban density. While one can get used to micro-living in such a cramped metropolis, storage space for one's belongings remains a pressing concern for most folks. Fortunately, residents can utilize hassle-free storage in Queens to maximize their living space while clearing away their clutter."

While self-storage doesn't get as much publicity as other more “interesting” businesses, recent exposure on certain reality TV shows has certainly boosted the industry's popularity.

Cities like Manhattan, where the population density is bursting, could really use storage spaces.
