Key Takeaways
- A simple "Luggage storage point" sign in your window turns passers-by into customers.
- Update your Google Business Profile listing: that's where travellers look for storage when they arrive.
- Make yourself known to the hotels, riads and Airbnbs nearby: they often have no luggage room and will send you customers.
- Customer reviews and an up-to-date BoxSpot listing (photos, hours) inspire confidence and get your point chosen.
When you become a storage point, BoxSpot puts you on the map and brings you travellers looking for somewhere to drop their bags. But there is a lot you can do to attract even more deposits around your business. Here are five simple levers that cost almost nothing.
1. Make it visible from the street
Many travellers walk past you without knowing you keep luggage. A window sticker or a small sign — "Luggage storage point" — turns passers-by into customers. Signage is your first salesperson, and it works around the clock.
2. Look after your Google listing
Most travellers search "luggage storage" on Google Maps as soon as they arrive. Update your Google Business Profile listing: exact opening hours, photos, and mention the storage service in your description. That is what makes you show up in local searches, at the precise moment someone needs you.
3. Tell the accommodation providers in your area
The hotels, riads and Airbnb rentals around you all share the same problem: guests who arrive before check-in or leave after check-out. Many have no luggage room. Make yourself known: you become their solution, and they send you customers. A little local word-of-mouth can fill your quiet hours.
4. Turn every happy customer into a review
A reassured, well-received traveller is your best advertising. Invite them to leave a review — on Google, or by sharing their experience. Positive reviews reassure the next traveller who hesitates to trust their belongings to a stranger.
5. Keep your BoxSpot listing spotless
On the BoxSpot map, a listing with good photos and up-to-date hours inspires confidence and gets chosen more often. Check regularly that your hours reflect reality: nothing disappoints more than a point shown as open… but closed.
Small gestures add up
None of these levers requires a budget. Put together, they make the difference between a storage point that waits for customers and a storage point that travellers find — and recommend.
