StoragePug’s marketing websites has a deep integration with Sitelink Web Edition to allow features such as online rentals. We regularly post about how to increase revenue at your self storage facility through our integration.
These days, you can rent just about anything online. Most customers don’t think twice about reserving a vacation rental through Airbnb or renting a movie from Redbox online. Online rentals help save time and money. This fact is true for self storage facilities, as well. You can’t beat the convenience and efficiency of online transactions.
As portable storage containers gain popularity amongst renters, traditional self storage operators are adding portable (mobile) storage options to their list of amenities.
Renters want a seamless experience when shopping for storage online, so it is essential to offer user-friendly tools that keep customers engaged on your website.
Did you know that StoragePug doesn’t just make websites for self storage facilities? We also serve the needs of portable storage companies.
With the first instant quote tool for portable storage containers, StoragePug offers the only integrated rental experience in the industry.
Consumers expect to conduct almost all of their transactions online, and being able to rent a portable storage unit via their computer, tablet, or smartphone is no exception.
Whether you are getting ready to open your brand new storage facility or looking to increase occupancy at an existing one, you have many avenues to consider.
Self storage businesses can be very successful if they are marketed correctly, but they can also tank without the right marketing strategies.
Luckily, you have a lot of “been-there-done-that” businesses to learn from, so why reinvent the wheel?
In a competitive market, discounts can be a great way to get new customers to move in. Whether you're expanding, building, or simply need to fill up units, offering discounts through your website can be a great way to increase your occupancy.

When I worked at a self storage facility in college,
I never enjoyed chasing down late payments. Most of the time people would simply forget to pay. Sometimes it was no simple task to get them to drop by the facility to make a payment. We have found this is normally the case at most facilities.
If the facility is big then managers may spend the whole month tracking down delinquent payments.
Maximize your space and increase occupancy by letting customers schedule their move out date online.
Over the last 5 years digital technology has changed; a lot.
As digital technology has progressed, customers expectations have changed.
If your self storage facility doesn't offer online rentals, you're missing out on tenants that could be yours!
Offering tenant insurance for your self storage facility increase your profits for your facility. It increases revenue by giving a chance at proverbial "checkout" to giving clients another avenue to spend more money.
This money spent, however, is money well spent in the eyes of a consumer. This is not a gimmick, people have differing levels of value and a tenant will know if they are or are not storing things of importance to them when using your storage unit. The likelihood is, that if a tenant feels they are storing things that they need to protect then they will opt-in for tenant insurance.
Offering your tenants peace of mind when they store their stuff on your property. This value and peace of mind is the foundation of a quality relationship between renter and rentee.
When customers know how long they will stay or simply don't want to deal with paying month-to-month, we recommend offering prepayment options. Paying for months or periods of time in advance, and tenants do this so to mitigate any risk of late fees or so to budget their money more appropriately.
One of the neat features of the Payment Portal is we allow tenants to prepay up to 12 months in advance, making it easy on them while decrease the number delinquencies and collection calls. Keep your clients happy through your self storage website.
