  1. Highlight the Obvious

    Highlight the Obvious

    What's obvious to you might not be so obvious to others. We swim in the self-storage world, so things like month-to-month leases, drive-up access, online rentals, and pest control might not seem like amazing amenities to highlight. However, the average customer doesn't know the standard self-storage package. Handicap access or the fact that they are the only ones with a key to their unit might be the selling point that brings you the rental over your competitor. Your competitor has those things too, but if you're the only one advertising that you don't require a security deposit, maybe customers will start think that you have the edge over your competition. Today we take a deep dive into all things obvious, plus share some holiday themed recommendations. Hosts: Josh Huff & Melissa Huff Produced by Lighthouse Storage Solutions

    10月8日

    Preparing For the Next Disaster

    In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many self storage owners across the southeast experienced one of the D's that drive rentals in our industry- Disaster. Whether it's a hurricane, tornado, fire, burglary, or some other form, disaster hits us all. Are you prepared? The best plan is one that's in place before disaster strikes, but even in the midst of a tragic event like Hurricane Helene there are positive things you can do both for your business and community. How can you be prepared? What should that plan look like? What are some wise (and some unwise) decisions to consider when the power is out, internet is down, flooding is coming, and tenants need their goods? We cover all of this as we look ahead to whatever disaster may be coming next.
