Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many students are being displaced from the closure of universities and colleges, and to make transitioning off-campus more convenient, MakeSpace is offering discounted rates for temporary storage.
The process is simple. The MakeSpace truck will arrive on campus at the predetermined time for various schools including Boston College and Temple University. Students can store boxes, furniture, clothing, and more. The truck will then store the items until schools reopen, or, alternatively, have the items delivered to another location. MakeSpace is currently offering a 20 percent discount with the code: COLLEGE.
As more consumers continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, brands that are able to offer services targeted to those affect will increase their consumer loyalty.
