According to a self-storage professional, digital nomads are an emerging popular type of self-storage customer.
Digital nomads are workers who can work from anywhere using digital devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. They often combine work with travel to different countries.
Many use self-storage to keep items from their past. For instance, people downsizing to a smaller home or clearing out their deceased parents’ home want to keep family heirlooms and other items they are emotionally attached to but don’t need daily access to. Digital nomads who don’t have a permanent home use storage for different reasons. They mainly store seasonal clothing and valuables not currently required during their travels.
Digital nomads want the peace of mind knowing that their belongings are safe and secure in storage facilities while they are travelling. Storage expert Garrett Byrd believes that digital nomads are not a passing trend, but a permanent aspect of the global economy, many of whom will require long-term storage facilities.
Another growing type of entrepreneur is semi-nomadic and owns a business selling items on sites like eBay and Etsy. They do their admin work from a nearby coffee shop, but don’t have enough room at home for all their stock. For a small business, it can be cheaper to rent storage space than to lease warehouse space.
