TARRYTOWN, NY, May 08, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- According to the American Moving and Storage Association, May is "high season" for moves, and in these economic times, job changes and downsizing warranting an accelerated moving process may come as a stressful surprise. According to Gentle Giant Moving and Storage, which recently celebrated four years as a fully-operating moving and storage company in Westchester County, New York it can actually be fun!
"We know many May moves have not even been scheduled yet," says Noah Duarte, Regional Manager at Gentle Giant's NY Moving Company location. "There is no reason to panic, we can still accommodate you and make the experience smooth and memorable for everyone."
The company generally suggests 7-10 days in advance to schedule a move and recommends that once a move date is confirmed and the customary moving steps have been taken, the following "out-of-the-box" ideas be implemented to make your move a richer experience for all members of the family:
1. Share news about the move: Use social media to keep friends, colleagues and family up-to-date on your plans. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are perfect for getting the word out quickly to lots of people and you never know who will show up to help you pack or take that old desk off your hands!
2. Memorialize the move: For your children, elderly parents or yourselves, leaving your current home can be traumatic. Capture your favorite moments there on video with a flip camera or even your phone and make an uploadable video scrapbook to save and share. Your kids will love it although some interesting shots could make it to YouTube.
3. Inject fun into the move: Is your furniture gone but you're still here? Camp out in the living room! Encourage your kids to help make a welcome present for the incoming residents such as a list of the best restaurants or parks. Particularly if the move is not by choice and beset by some financial pressure, ease those stressors with an informal "goodbye party" for the house, allowing your kids to do things otherwise forbidden: eat dinner on the couch, jump on the beds etc.
Duarte and his team at Gentle Giant, already known for superior customer service and guaranteed moves, are offering the following special moving discounts and services during May:
o 10% off labor on all Westchester moves for the month of May
o FREE Pro-Packing Videos available on DVD and online
o Discounted "green moves"
