Write a Google+ Review: A How-To Guide


You just had an excellent experience working with Budget Self Storage! Now you want to write a review on Google+ to let others know about your positive encounter with the company. You have never written a review for a business using Google+. Where do you go and what should you do? The simple steps below will help you accomplish that task:


1.      At the top right of the Budget Self Storage website, under the “check out our social media” subheading, click on the lowercase “g” icon. This will link you directly to the Google+ page for Budget.

2.      Next, you will be brought to a list of different Budget Self Storage locations. Click on the lowercase “g” icon next to the location that you would like to write a review for.

3.      Once you click on the “g,” you will be prompted to sign in to your Google+ account in order to write the review. If you do not have an account, simply create a new one.

4.      You will now be on the “About” page. If you are not brought to this page, please navigate there by clicking the “About” tab.

5.      On the “about” tab, scroll down until you see the “write a review” section.

6.      Click on this option and proceed to write your review.

7.      Above the text box where you wrote your review there will be 5 white stars. Hover your mouse over the stars until they become yellow. Rate your experience with one star [hated it] all the way to all five stars [loved it]. You will not be able to submit a review unless you rate your experience using the stars.

8.      Click “Publish” and you are all done!

5 Things You Can Implement To Simplify Your Life

National Simplify our Life Week is about making small changes that reduce stress and free up your time.  After all, you deserve it! Budget Self Storage has come up with 5 easy ways to help simplify your life:  

  1. Remove Clutter:  Look around your home or office to see what is essential or necessary, everything else is clutter.  Box it up and clearly label the box on two sides.  Get a storage unit for the items for easy access.  Find out more about reducing clutter on our March blog post.
  2. Hire Someone:  It’s not only easier but; better to leave the job to someone else.  Life is about balance.  There is nothing wrong with getting a little extra help. Check out our community page for local business partners that provide service.
  3. Pay Bills Online: Set-up auto bill pay through your bank; it’s free!  As soon as the bill comes in enter it with future payment date, file with receipt, it done and forget it!  It’s easier than you think and Budget Self Storage offers our customers easy online and auto bill pay options.
  4. Finally Sort the Piles of Paperwork:  Make it fun, not a chore by drinking a cocktail and watching your favorite TV show.  Have your shredder handy or keep it simple & drop off all the shredding at a Budget Self Storage location.  Watch this helpful YouTube video for more organizing ideas
  5. One Lid Size Fits All:  Invest in containers that one lid fits all different sizes and only use these. Think you can’t waste all the perfectly good containers you already own?  Repurpose them as drawer/cabinet organizers. Get some tips from Ellen Damashino organize & recycle the lid & containers.  Check out Rubbermaid’s great selection of containers and coupon
