Spare Rooms And Empty Closets Have Never Been More Profitable

Online, October 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Conjuring something out of nothing is usually a trick left to stage magicians, but one Australian company is making money appear out of thin air and amazing their audience while they do it. Whilst most magicians won't give away their secret, StoreroomRental.com.au eagerly tells everyone it meets.

Here's the problem: Most homes and offices have unused spaces that do nothing but collect dust. These spaces go wasted but still add to overhead costs to heat, cool or illuminate. StoreroomRental.com.au helps homeowners and businesses recapture value from lost space by renting it out to those with unique storage needs.

Stuart Hely, Founder and Managing Director, illustrates how StoreroomRental.com.au works: "One homeowner might not need all the rooms in his house whilst a nearby unit dweller might need a place to store some of her belongings. The homeowner lists his space on StoreroomRental.com.au and the other person finds the solution to her storage needs. The homeowner earns a modest fee for renting his room while the renter has the convenience and security of a nearby storage facility."

Whilst a storage box or storage locker might be fine for some situations, not everyone has the budget, proximity, or storage needs for a space of that size and not in their ideal location. A shop owner might want to rent nearby space for a fridge for convenient ready-to-stock products. A band might want a weatherproof room in a warm, dry home to store instruments when they're not on the road. A young person might require a few square metres of garage space for extra furniture when he is rooming with a group of friends. A business might have stock it needs to store in the off-season and doesn't want to incur excessive warehousing costs.

Those who need storage space can visit StoreroomRental.com.au and browse for free, searching by location. A map helps to focus in on a specific area for locating conveniently close storage. Homes and businesses with storage space to rent can list their storage space for a small one-time listing fee of $15+gst, and can earn an ongoing rental income on space they weren't using. Relevant details of each storage space are listed on the site including: rental costs, size, whether a bond is required and if the space is lockable. References can be requested as well. Professional storage companies can even list their rental spaces under a separate storage company fee structure.

Hely describes the reaction people have when they learn about the service: "It's one of those ideas that make perfect sense as soon as it's heard. When we describe our service to others, we see them thinking furiously about the potential revenue they can earn from all the empty storage space they have in their home, garage, shed, and office. They can make money from home. Or, we see them thinking about how they finally have a convenient and safe place to put some of their overflow items."

Homeowners, businesses, and professional storage companies are also invited to visit StoreroomRental.com.au to learn more about the services provided and to add their available storage sites to the listings.
