Automation is the future of self storage. Most facilities already have some level of automation, and an increasing number are fully automated—operating with limited or no staff and relying on automation for everything from security to rentals to door locks.
The self-storage industry is booming in the United States, which is excellent for self-storage owners and managers. However, with great opportunity comes great competition.
As you look around at your primary market area, you may begin to wonder: Should I be offering discounts and specials?
It is a storage facility owner’s worst nightmare to have their facility associated with a negative search result—whether it be a negative review, article, or blog post. We have good news and bad news about getting rid of negative information on the Internet.
The bad news is that it can be challenging and expensive to get something negative removed—especially if it is on a site that you don’t control.
In the past, word of mouth, radio advertising, or even an ad in the newspaper was enough to get your self storage facility a little extra attention, but not anymore.
Today, 91% of adults search online for their needs, whether it’s to purchase directly from an online retailer or to decide whom they want to shop with locally.
For even the most seasoned self-storage experts, planning your marketing strategy can seem like an overwhelming task that is becoming increasingly complicated in the digital age.
Whether you're looking to find new clients, boost revenue, or get your brand name out there, smart and well-designed marketing can be the #1 factor in what makes or breaks your self-storage business.
