Today we’d like to introduce you to Susan Winter .
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I truly wanted to love what I do for a living. My specialty was visual display. My second job in Chicago was opening Barney’s New York doing all the display and merchandising. After that I went into “Mobile Storage” I specialized in Museums. Now my company “ARTistic Storage” is invited to see collections that no one gets to ever see in the back vaulted areas of a Museums such as, The Field Museum, Science & Industry, or Art Institute of Chicago. I let my visual creative side out again, as I must measure the space, assess the collections, draw it on CAD, and once it is installed and have gained 50% to 75% more space, I get a BIG HUG from my clients at the end of every project!!! Win Win!!!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I truly believe things “lessons” / “Challenges” happen for a reason in life. We can always learn from them and become stronger/softer, so truly I would not do anything differently in my path. With life we have to take the highs with the lows,,, that IS life. I have always kept a positive outlook on things to come on my journey.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about ARTistic Storage – what should we know?
Selling Mobile Storage/Shelving to house Private Art Collection Storage – Museum Collections Storage – Galleries Paintings – Archives for Corporations. Sexy elevator talk “California closets for Museums- Art”, But it has nothing to do with California Closets… No other Mobile Storage company has ever “specialized” in just 1 market. I had a passion I had to follow…
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Positive attitude. But let’s be honest, it is customer service that is most important. The experience ARTistic Storage wants to leave with our customers “big or small”, is we care. These are priceless collections that we are taking the best care of in every way.
