NEW PORTABLE SAM (STORE AND MOVE) SERVICE LAUNCHES IN CINCINNATI

SAM (Store and Move) announced today that residents in the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area will be among the first in the country to be offered the new portable self-storage and moving container service. SAM is an affordable, safe and secure alternative to truck rental or mini-storage. As a newly established company, SAM will bring together a network of experienced movers to operate as SAM dealers. Locally, Planes Moving & Storage will operate as an authorized dealer for the company.

“We are thrilled to introduce SAM to the Cincinnati market,” said John Planes, chief executive and owner of Planes Moving & Storage and local SAM dealer. “SAM is a portable storage and moving container that is unique in the fact that it was designed around protecting customers’ personal belongings. SAM is the sturdiest and most secure container service available on the market today, provided by a local agent with 85 years of experience in the moving industry.”

Recognizing the criticality of providing a safe and secure environment for customers’ belongings throughout a move and while in storage, SAM is designed with special tie-down rings, locking wheels and superior construction. SAM also offers an expert support center with knowledgeable and trained service representatives.

SAM is a convenient and portable storage and moving solution that is delivered to the customer’s residence and placed at ground level for easy packing and unpacking. For customers who are using the SAM as a short- or long-term storage unit, it can be stored onsite at their residence or at the dealer’s secure facility. For customers planning to move, SAM allows the customer as much time as they need to pack; then a SAM representative picks up and moves the container to the new location, again allowing customers the freedom to unpack at their leisure.

“In the coming year, we intend to launch the SAM service in additional markets/cities across the United States,” said Tom McCormick, COO of SAM. “Our mission is to provide customers with the opportunity to store and move themselves while offering convenience, peace of mind and extra support along the way.”
