The Booming Boat and RV Storage Market

Send us a text Tom Dunkel, Chief Investment Officer at Belrose Storage Group, discusses the increasing demand for boat and RV storage in the US. He explains that the production of RVs and boats is outpacing the creation of storage spaces, with homeowners’ associations and municipalities often restricting parking in residential areas. Dunkel suggests that this demand, coupled with the low maintenance and high margins of such facilities, makes boat and RV storage an attractive investment. However, he acknowledges that raising capital for these projects can be challenging due to investor unfamiliarity with the asset class and current economic uncertainties. Despite these challenges, Dunkel remains optimistic about the future of boat and RV storage, seeing it as a long-term growth opportunity.

How a Ban on TikTok Might Impact PR and Marketing Pros

TikTok is a powerful social media tool in the United States. About 170 million Americans use the platform and for many marketing and PR agencies it’s the preferred go to tool. The average time on TikTok in 2024, per user, is estimated to be 58 minutes per day. But several governments have banned TikTok from being used on Government devices – including the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. In India, TikTok is banned altogether. In late April 2024, President Biden signed a bill into law that has bipartisan support. It’s called the National Security Act, 2024. Under the new law, ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, has until late January 2025 to divest itself of TikTok and find new ownership for the social media company. TikTok is fighting back saying the law is unconstitutional. What does the potential ban mean for marketing and PR pros?
