    Jan 16 2025

    When is the last time you looked through your self storage operations manual, assuming you have one in place? Is it still fully applicable and relevant? Are you using it to train new employees or is it so out of date it just collects dust on the shelf? Today we talk best practices for optimizing your operations manual. These documents should be regularly used tools to run your business. If they aren't serving you well, we go over several ways to turn that around and make them a valuable piece of your operation.

  • The More Things Change- Is it Time for TikTok, AI, and Billboards?
    Jan 2 2025

    A new year is here and change is in the wind! Is it time to get into TikTok? Do you need to pivot to AI search? Maybe a billboard strategy or having a manager available 24/7 is what you need. As more and more options for doing self storage become available, what do you need to be doing as a business owner or operator? As with most things, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Self storage has been around for a while, and the basics are still the basics. Yes, there are more options, but the core of what we do isn't changing at all. Join us as we kick off 2025, leaning into what works and keeping an eye on what's coming.
