The team at Self Storage Association knows how to put on an incredible conference. At the 2020 SSA Fall Conference, I got a chance to interview experts who really, really know their self storage marketing in the first-ever Self Storage Game Show.
If you missed the live event, you can catch it On Demand here.
My favorite moment came towards the end when our game show contestants were asked: "How can I market my self storage facility to make sure I have an incredible Q4 2020?"
Check out what each of our storage pros had to say:
Find a partner that can put reporting mechanism in place. Ask deeper questions about the data. Take advantage of chatbots to guide customers down the path. - Will Harlan, G5
Have a great, highly-converting website. Make your website as user-friendly as possible. You're doing all that marketing to bring people to your website, and if you don't make it easy, you're missing out! - Melissa Stiles, Storage Asset Management
Look at the process from the moment people touch your brand to the moment the rent from you. What does your customer service look like? Are your managers sharing the right message to close that sale? - Christina Alvino, FineView Marketing
After the lead is captured, make it my job to convert that customer. Make sure you call your leads within 15 minutes, and if they don't answer, make sure you have a follow-up plan to work the lead to their fullest potential. Keep marketing to people until they tell you to go away. - Holly Fiorello, CallPotential
Tons of sage advice from some of the coolest people in the industry.
