With the COVID-19 pandemic causing problems throughout the nation, many businesses considered nonessential had to close to comply with executive orders. Facilities providing self storage in Camarillo were allowed to stay open during the shutdown. Although they may not be viewed as essential in the way that stores selling food are, people would be unable to retrieve their belongings if the facilities had to close.
Low Traffic
Companies providing self storage in Camarillo to new customers are generally encouraging them to sign up and make their first payment online instead of coming into an office. These buildings typically are not very busy at any given time. The average customer only arrives to drop the load off and then later to pick everything up and close out the order. Some do use the units to store seasonal belongings but still probably come in just a few times a year.
Many of the restrictions for the closing of nonessential businesses have addressed those in which preventing close contact is often difficult or impossible. Examples include bars, restaurants, fitness centers, concert venues and movie theaters. Hair salons were closed as well. The contact issues associated with these businesses do not affect self-storage facilities.
Feeling Reassured
Storage company websites can reassure customers by explaining what precautions they are taking, such as sanitizing various areas. The pandemic is expected to continue for months to come, but people cannot avoid participating in normal life indefinitely. Anyone interested in renting a unit can contact SecureSpace.
