Cost Savin and Money Makin in Self-Storage

Article-Cost Savin and Money Makin in Self-Storage

<p>In some cases, saving money can be as powerful as making it. Consider the case of your self-storage facility, where monthly revenue from rentals and the sale of retail product may not be quite what it was a few years ago. By implementing some cost-saving strategies, you can still add to your bottom line and ensure your operation stays in the black.</p>

I am a sucker for a good promo code. One of the ways Ive saved money for my household over these past couple of years is by shopping online for items we need, painstakingly comparing each product across multiple sites. But the best deals always come when you can find a promo code for free shipping, or a discount, or both. Ive sometimes purchased items at less than half of their retail value this way. Sites like Retailmenot.com, where you can search for promo codes by website or vendor, are a huge help in this regard.
