You not only get a peek inside our customer\u2019s storage unit, but also a peek inside what is important to them. Thank you to Jennifer, customer of our CubeSmart store in Philadelphia, \u00a0for sharing her story with us.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a college student, Jennifer Grabel was referred by a friend for a part-time job as a promotional model for a beverage marketing company. The work, which involved appearing at events and parties, giving out samples, and talking to customers about the products, appealed to her because she\u2019d always liked going out. As a bartender, she was interested in spirits, and this gave her a chance to learn more about the brands she was serving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a little girl I probably wanted to be a veterinarian\u2014this wasn\u2019t the kind of job I imagined ever doing but it was fun and I enjoyed the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eleven years later, Jennifer is still in the business, only now she\u2019s planning the parties for <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.mhusa.com\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moet Hennessy USA\u2019s Strategic Experiential Group.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPutting together events is my favorite part of the job and over time you get to meet everyone in Philly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer is the woman behind the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, held every July, the Philadelphia Wine Festival, and the Philadelphia Whiskey Festival. On any given event she might coordinate with a charity, sponsoring magazines and other client accounts while overseeing 10 to 25 people and selecting d\u00e9cor to make the final product \u201camazing.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CubeSmart<\/a> is in many ways her mobile office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of my job is scheduling and staffing and recruiting people to work for us. We do events in nightclubs and bars and in public spaces like Dilworth Plaza. I have a very large storage unit that\u2019s filled with promotional items. I come here at least once a week to make the kits or to meet with the staff and make sure everyone\u2019s ready and doing what they need to be doing. Sometimes someone at the front desk will call me to tell me about things that are happening here that I don\u2019t even know about, which I really appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of her favorite annual events when Hennessey selects an artist to design a limited edition bottle of Very Special blend cognac. The artist is then feted at a gala event\u2014typically at a museum like the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Past winners have included KAWS, Futura and Shepard Fairy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the event, we get to meet the artist and hear about their inspiration for the design, which is always fascinating,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday season means promotions for just about every brand Jennifer represents, so she anticipates a heavier workload and more visits to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/pennsylvania-self-storage\/philadelphia-self-storage\/96.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">501 Callowhill Street CubeSmart<\/a> in Philadelphia where she stores her supplies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will probably be here from morning to night, getting ready for all the samplings and coordinating pickup and drop-off with staff at the various liquor stores around the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In between meeting famous people and planning glamorous events, her career has allowed Jennifer to learn more about wine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like knowing the regions, the nomenclature, the grapes. When I was younger I didn\u2019t care about wine but now I really adore that part of the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she\u2019s off work, Jennifer enjoys coming up with new recipes for cocktails. On a recent trip to Palm Beach she had the bartender make her a concoction of coconut water, tequila and fresh lime juice with a salted toasted coconut rim on the glass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was amazing. I definitely still like to show off my skills when I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>We&#8217;d love to hear how self storage has positively impacted your life.
