Dynamic Storage: Storage Space – The Final Frontier in Budget Breakthroughs

By Janie Pritchett-Clark

There’s nothing like a tough economy to focus your attention on the bottom line and how you get there. Trimming out what can be spared without affecting the quality of your product or service is always a worthwhile exercise. What can you omit? What can you outsource? What can you change?

You may not think about looking at your office space as something to trim from the budget, but according to Debra Daugherty of Dynamic Storage in Rogers, it could be a viable solution you’ve overlooked.

“A spare office full of document boxes, unused equipment, inventory and supplies could be costing your company more than you know,” says Daugherty, the facility manager. “With the cost of office space what it is, you could be paying thousands of dollars every year to house items you rarely access.”

Consider off-site storage. “Many of our tenants use us as a solution to an over-crowded office,” she says. “It’s much more economical to lease off-site storage than expand or move your current space.”

And it’s easy to budget.

“We created our own Economic Stimulus Package to help in a tight economy,” says Daugherty. “We locked our prices so companies can budget the expense and know it will stay the same, whether they contract for a year or lease month to month.”

“The cost of everything has gone up, except at Dynamic Storage,” she says. “We haven’t raised prices since 2006. We don’t have unnecessary frills. You get what you need and don’t pay for what you don’t.”

Dynamic Storage satisfies the needs of many business types and sizes. “We have climate controlled units and standard units in a variety of sizes that accommodate most any business need,” she says.

The facility has all the important features to consider (although you may not know to ask). Safety and convenience top the list, with a state of the art security and fire system, 24-hour video surveillance monitored by security personnel and connected to a central command. A loading dock accommodates semi trailers. Small inventory items can be hand-trucked in. The property is fully paved and lighted inside and out, and key-code accessible 7-days a week, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“We don’t believe it’s in the best interest of our tenants to allow 24 hour access, which could invite an element of mischief and criminal activity. We have never had any problems, theft or vandalism of any kind. Because the facility is managed professionally, there is someone to assist when needed. I think it’s important to have someone looking out for you.”

Dynamic Storage is owned by the Fleeman family of Rogers, who have been in residential and commercial construction in Northwest Arkansas for nearly 50 years. The property is located two blocks off 71 Business on South 1st Street near downtown Rogers.
