Is it summer already? With final exams and summertime plans, the month of May promises to be frantic. Fortunately, SpareFoot is making college finals and move-out season fun by giving away The Ultimate Mini-Fridge on Facebook! One lucky student will win a retro-inspired fridge designed by Nostalgia Electrics, decorated with custom SpareFoot decals and loaded with Monster energy drinks!
Let’s face it: The last thing you want to think about when you’re flooded with end-of-the-year finals, essays and tutorials is what you’re going to do with your stuff over the summer. You might be studying abroad, signing a new lease or even going back home to live with your parents, but the question still remains: Where can you store your stuff? Don’t stress out, collegiate masses: Here are some options to consider while you still have the time and energy left to think.
May takes the title as the busiest month for moving in the U.S. From Washington to West Virginia, millions of Americans will be packing up their belongings and heading across town or across the country.
It’s a Tuesday night and you’re eating a TV dinner alone. It’s been a long time since you’ve gone out into that world, and you’re a little worried your skills have gotten rusty over the months. What will people think of me? What do I wear? What do I talk about? You can’t stop thinking about the networking get-together your friend told you about days ago. You know the one: the meetup that the startup you’ve been crushing on is going to be at.
As SpareFoot has grown, we’ve been able to send more and more reservations to the facilities listed on our advertising network. More reservations means more tenants for facilities, but it also means that end-of-month statements that we send clients are longer and much less fun to reconcile. You’re probably no stranger to our move-in verification emails (with subject line: Did _____ Move In?) that we send the day after a tenant is scheduled to move into your facility. Here’s why we send them and why they’re making our clients’ lives easier!
At the Austin apartment complex that I just moved into, rarely a day goes by that I don’t spot a neighbor walking Spot (or Buster or Bella). Does everyone there own a dog except me? And what about all the cats I’m not seeing?
From 1991 to 1999, Tim Allen–familiar to moviegoers as the voice of Buzz Lightyear from “Toy Story”–starred in a TV sitcom called “Home Improvement.” Allen’s amusing and self-assured character, Tim Taylor, hosted a fictional TV show called “Tool Time.”

Your startup may have all the potential in the world, but if it isn’t able to operate well on a day-to-day basis, things can go downhill pretty fast. This doesn’t apply just to startups, however. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a member of a Fortune 500 company, your business needs to run as smoothly as possible every day.

Ever heard the phrase, “If it fits, it ships?” We have. But unlike Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes, we don’t discriminate based on size at uShip. Dragging heavy items out of storage that need a new home? If it fits in your storage unit, but won’t fit in a cardboard box, uShip’s the answer. If it doesn’t fit, it still ships!
We were horrified to see the destruction caused by the fire and explosion Wednesday in West, TX. This disaster was particularly heartbreaking because it came in the same week as the Boston Marathon bombing. SpareFoot’s office is about 120 miles southwest of West, which is why this most recent tragedy hits especially close to home.
