Planning a move in advance is not just recommended, it is vital to ensure you have a move that goes smoothly from start to finish! From choosing the right company to having the right materials, planning a move is not an overnight job.


Planning a move is difficult, but also important. Trying to book a mover on a shorter timeline does not guarantee you can move on the necessary dates, which can create stress for you. In order to have the most stress-free move… plan, plan, PLAN!


1) Create a Checklist. The details matter. Organizing a hierarchy of needs will help you stay focused on the things that matter most.



2) Document a moving strategy. Create a list of action items. At Arrow, we offer a free moving checklist to base yours on. Organizing everything on paper will not only make it easier to keep track of the details, it will free up your “headspace” to focus on the execution of action items while at the same time allowing you to focus on running your business.


3) Designate a point person within your company. Someone must have ultimate responsibility for the move. Having someone focused on the operational aspect of the move itself is imperative…this person will be responsible for interfacing with the moving company, coordinating the move internally and making sure your business has minimal, if any, downtime.


  4) Work with an experienced moving company. Make sure the organization you end up choosing to be responsible for your move, has all the necessary insurance, equipment, manpower and experience to handle your move professionally. After more than 20 years of specializing in moving NYC and Long Island businesses, Arrow specialists have seen it all. Having the added value of our experience during this hectic time will help you avoid common and costly mistakes.


When you use a top quality moving organization, like Arrow, we will always make sure that the hassle and stress of moving is ours so that you can focus on your job!
