HOW CUSTOMER-FACING BUSINESSES CAN INCREASE PROFITS BY USING REEFERS

Refrigerated storage space is a valuable asset in many different industries. In some cases, it may be the decisive factor determining whether a business can gain and maintain a foothold in the market. That’s especially the case in the retail sector and other lines of work where goods are offered on mass to end-users. In addition, there is a clear correlation between the amount of storage space and the number of products or services that companies can offer, so it often makes sense for businesses to invest in increasing their storage capacities to keep up with their competitors.

Refrigerated Containers (also referred to as "Reefers") are often used to bridge the gap between storage capacity and market demand. Here are some of the ways that Reefers can contribute to the profitability of numerous customer-facing businesses:

Monetising Storage Space With Smart Product Offering

Retailers, service providers, restaurants, and many other businesses have one thing in common: they have to diversify their offerings to stay competitive. One of the preconditions for expansion is often sufficient storage space to keep raw materials, essential equipment, or stock. This issue is even more important for businesses working with perishable items like flowers, food, or pharmaceuticals, which require special temperature conditions. Since most independently owned shops have to work in confined spaces, Reefers may be the only cost-effective option at their disposal. In addition, Refrigerated Containers can also be used to store temperature-sensitive equipment securely.

Handling Periods of High Demand without Losing Customers

Demand fluctuations are evident in many businesses, with busy shopping seasons often followed by a few slow weeks. These instabilities can make it difficult for companies to estimate how much goods to stock and can force difficult decisions related to choosing between running out of specific inventory and paying a premium for storage space. Reefers offer businesses a way to avoid this dilemma and scale the storage capacity up or down based on their current circumstances. In addition, since Refrigerated Containers are delivered to the site ready for use and require minimum maintenance, there is virtually no strain on the workforce.

Leasing Reefer Containers from a Trusted Storage Partner Can Reduce Costs

For companies that face a variable demand for storage space, leasing the necessary amount of Reefer Containers is often the most economical option. By renting rather than buying, businesses avoid tying their funds in assets that are only utilised during certain periods.
