In today’s economy, more and more people are turning to side hustles for additional income. Whether you’re launching a small business or simply looking to clear some space at home, having access to extra space can make a world of difference. At Store That, we provide secure storage in E14, perfect for sole traders in the Canary Wharf and East London area.  

In this blog, we’ll explore the top 5 side hustles that can benefit from our secure storage facilities…

1. E-Commerce Reselling

With platforms like eBay, Vinted, and Depop available at the touch of a few buttons, e-commerce reselling is a fantastic way to make extra cash. Whether you're reviving vintage clothing, electronics, or home décor, e-commerce sellers often require ample space to store stock. Keeping all of that inventory at home can quickly overwhelm your living space, but having a secure, offsite solution is a game-changer. At Store That, our units provide secure storage in E14, so your inventory stays in perfect condition and is ready to be shipped when orders come through.

2. Event Planning and Party Supplies

Event planners and party supply rental businesses deal with large quantities of décor, furniture, and other bulky items. From tables and chairs to fairy lights and photo booth props, event supplies often need to be kept in pristine condition until the day of the event. However, these items can take up a significant amount of space. This is where secure storage in E14 comes in handy. With 24/7 CCTV monitoring and an on-site security team, you can rest assured that your event supplies are well-protected and easily accessible.

3. Art and Craft Businesses

The popularity of handmade items has skyrocketed, with platforms like Etsy making it easy for crafters to sell their creations. Materials such as paints, canvases, fabrics, and tools can clutter your home quickly, however. Moreover, delicate handmade items need to be stored carefully to avoid damage. A storage unit allows crafters to separate work from home life while ensuring their materials and finished products are kept safe. At Store That, our facilities offer the perfect solution for artists looking to safely store their materials and products without worrying about space constraints.

4. Social Media Influencing

As influencer marketing continues to grow, many creators accumulate a significant number of products from brand collaborations. From clothing hauls to tech gadgets and skincare products, influencers often receive large quantities of items that need to be stored safely between shoots. Not to mention the camera and lighting equipment too! Keeping these products organised and in good condition can be challenging at home. Our secure storage in E14 provides influencers with a safe space to store their brand gifts and PR packages, helping them keep their home clutter-free.

5. Vintage Furniture Flipping

Flipping vintage furniture is a growing trend, especially for those with an eye for design and restoration. Furniture can take up a lot of room, however, making it difficult to keep large pieces in a home setting. Having a designated storage unit allows you to keep your home tidy while safely storing your flipped items until they’re ready to sell. Our units offer the space and security needed for vintage furniture flippers to operate their businesses efficiently.
