Metal Buildings

If you own a business, covered parking might be a valuable investment to make. A VersaTube Carport is relatively inexpensive, and your return on investment could be significant. So, how can you tell if adding covered parking will be a good addition to your business? Consider if one of these three reasons might apply to you.

Attract and retain tenants

If you lease a building, lot, or facility, providing covered parking for those tenants or business owners can be a perk that sets you apart from others. For instance, if a business owner is looking to rent space at your strip mall or building and is comparing your space with another location, the fact that you offer covered parking is a perk that he might appreciate. He won’t have to rush through a rainstorm or slip on an icy lot as he gets out of his car, plus his car won’t be subject to sun or hail damage.

Provide exceptional customer service

You undoubtedly have handicap spaces reserved near your entrances, and maybe even spaces for veterans or pregnant women. Why not go the extra mile and cover those spaces with a VersaTube carport? A slow-moving elderly customer will appreciate the fact that he can stow away products in his car under cover, and possibly, depending on your parking lot, walk all the way to your entrance without worrying about rain.

Besides covering select customer spots, there are many other examples of how covered parking can help you provide excellent service. Covered parking at your entrance allows for protected loading and unloading, as well as for customers dropping off and picking up someone at the door. If you own a car repair garage, you could provide covered parking for overnight vehicles waiting to be picked up or for parts to arrive. Consider the specifics of your own business and ask yourself if adding covered parking would make a positive impact on the customer service experience you provide.

Consider it as an employee perk and incentive

You can designate a covered parking spot by the door for your employee of the month, or provide covered parking for your whole team. Either way, your employees are sure to feel appreciated!
