I’m not running a retail business right now, but, if I were, I would use a mezzanine floor which is an amazing way to expand the storage space that you currently have or are considering renting in the future. What it does is, adds an extra layer of storage with a semi-permanent floor so that it is easier for you to store high density objects.

People who are looking for ways to effectively use the space that they are currently running their businesses from should opt for this solution. They can consider WSSL Mezzanine Floors for storage customization according to their business needs.

Business owners who have already expanded and are using a warehouse in addition to their bricks and mortar business face special challenges. Some challenges include: keeping inventory organized, having easy access to product, and keeping product off of floors.

While I do tend to think that many business owners expand their businesses too quickly-sometimes you just have to find a good warehouse space to accommodate business growth.

During a transition to warehouse space be aware of the following issues: increasing costs due to packing and storage of existing merchandise, moving expenses, increased leasing costs in the new space, the expense of unpacking all the items, and the expense of purchasing new items to fill the expanded space.

For those businesses that have already begun using a warehouse space for storage you may be considering how to re-purpose the space that you already have or even considering moving into another storage facility.

Before you do that please consider the following positives when considering using a mezzanine flooring system.

## Mezzanine Flooring Allows Businesses To:

- Increase the amount of storage space in their existing warehouse so that they can use that space longer and avoid expanding to an additional warehouse as their business continues to grow.

- Mezzanine flooring allows business owners to keep the lowest amount of product that is needed in the business’ actual retail space. I’ve worked retail before and this was always a huge issue. In stores that had too much product in the back it was very difficult to find things and employees wasted a lot of time looking through piles.

- Increases efficiency in daily operations. Time is money, and an efficiently run business saves money over time.

- Increases safety within the retail space because unnecessary items are stored in another area.

A better way to think about how to use mezzanine flooring is to think about what you’re selling and then imagine it several levels above your “main” floor. Boxes are off the floor, you are able to label your product clearly, and things are neatly displayed (hopefully)!

Businesses can also opt to store items off-site in a warehouse storage facility at Warehouse Space, which is something that I think people don’t know is an option for their business. You would have the storage cost, but you would free up space in your bricks and mortar location.

I would strongly suggest trying to stay in your smaller space and creatively “grow” its space for as long as you possibly can. But if you can’t, as a business owner you have some wonderful options available to you to increase your business’ current storage capacity.
