The relocation industry on average makes $25 billion a year. In addition to high moving costs, there’s the unavoidable stress that comes with relocating a business. Whether your business’ next move includes a venue upsize or downsize, Price Self Storage is here to help and we have a few tips to assist your move along the way.
Create a Timeline
Four to six months before the move, it is important to keep in mind that you will need to have a layout of how the new office is going to look. Evaluate the current situation of your company’s office to see how you want the new office to be laid out and how you plan to make it happen within your designated budget. The larger the office you have, the more time you should invest in planning the layout. You should also set a time to update Internet and phone services, as well as receiving the necessary permits, licenses and insurance policies.
Schedule Cleaners and Movers
A month or two before the big move, do your research and schedule which moving and cleaning companies you want to help you out with your move. Having a solid, planned out schedule is as important as the move itself; the better the plan you have, the smoother the move will be for you.
Update Business Card, Website and Address
It is important to always have your business cards on hand at any given time, so you’ll want to be sure to update your business cards in a timely manner. One to two weeks before the big move, it is important that everything be in place so that once employees enter the new office, they don’t have to spend too much time adjusting and can get back to business. Make sure the post office and clients are aware that a move is taking place and when. Finish or reschedule any last minute tasks including vendor deliveries, client meetings, or interviews.
