Downtown Omaha Storage – Dino's Storage

Another year behind us here at Omaha’s Dino’s Storage!

This will be my last blog for 2013. It has been a very good year in the Downtown Omaha area. All of the beautiful Downtown Christmas lights are up and lit, and it is dark enough to enjoy them everyday as I leave work. It really is a beautiful and wonderful time of year.

We can all be very blessed that we have already dodged 2 major snow and ice storms, but we know that won’t be the case all winter. Even if we had gotten them, some of our best memories are being snowed in around the holidays. Giving us chance to spend unscheduled extra time with family and friends.

If we do nothing else this season, let’s take the time to reflect, be thankful, and for those of us who can, be generous! The holidays are about giving. I do not necessarily mean buying gifts, but giving yourself….your kindness, your thoughts, your love, what makes you what you are. It will make just as much of a difference for yourself as it will for everyone you touch by it!!!!

To sum it up, take the time to enjoy the end of 2013……..live, love, and be happy………..enjoy your family, friends, strangers, your job, your pets, etc! It is all of those things that shape us into who and what we are. I will do this, and come back refreshed for 2014!!

Thank you all for taking the time to read my blogs, patronize my store, call me about the quotes and read the post weekly on my reader boards……….and for those of you who haven’t, see you in 2014!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF OMAHA!!!!!!

Dino’s Storage Billboards Making a Difference!

Dino’s Storage is a Christian based company with a philosophy to understand the customer, provide the highest level of customer service and bring self-storage to markets previously under-served through the development of self storage facilities. We always keep our customers in mind! We love getting feedback from customers as well as prospective customers. If you have ever driven past any of our locations we have billboards with inspirational message or Bible verses. The messages are changed daily. We have received an awesome email from a prospective customer.

“I just want to tell you that I really appreciate those sayings that you guys put up on your billboard on the side of your building. The one I read today said, “Do not envy those who do evil”. I am a Christian and I find those sayings that you post on your billboard very uplifting and encouraging. Thank you so very much for doing that.” –Cory

It makes us feel great that our signs are making a difference in peoples lives!

To store, or to hoard?

I recently found myself in the same situation that so many of my storage customers find themselves in. I was moving from a residence that I had resided for over 8 years and had never done any serious de-cluttering!

Luckily, this time I found myself wiser, since I have been in the storage business the same number of years. I realized that all the items I have been collecting were now going to be a liability to me, if I did not do something about it. I donated many useful items to charities (which they came & picked up even!), and made very good use of my dumpster as well. By doing those things I was able to get by with half the size storage I was planning on (saved me over $300.00 per year) and the unit that I did use is very neatly organized, and has only stuff that I know I will be needing.

My point on this is that everyone has the need for an indoor storage unit. By using one properly (and regularly) you can make tremendous use of space in your home or apartment that you aren’t use to having. You may keep your precious items in a nice climate controlled environement instead of a damp garage or shed. Plus you get a really great feeling by donating GOOD stuff!

The weather is very nice, and not to hot yet, so why not make some room at your place?

Quick Dino’s Storage Storing Tips

Storage tips:

Many people ask “how should I store my mattress as far as side or flat?” Storing your mattress in a breathable plastic bag will protect it from the elements. Here at Dino’s Storage we sell a wide range of breathable mattress bags and totes. Avoid storing your mattress in a thick plastic cover, as this will encourage condensation. Breathable plastic is enough to protect it from mold, dust and allergens while keeping it moisture-free. Mattresses are not meant to sit in storage for years, even with proper protection. In addition throw in a few laundry softener sheets for a nice scent. The retail stores have them on the sides so I don’t see a problem storing the same way as long as the mattress is a well constructed one. You can always come to you storage area and rotate the mattress also.
