Are you size shy?

Welcome the self storage blog, our diary of our involvement in the self storage business. I am still at the self storage association conference in Las Vegas. I have had many interesting discussions with lots of people.

One interesting observation I heard from a client made me chuckle this morning. He thinks he has a few site managers who don’t like a particular size. He has noticed that on occassion certain size units don’t rent up. He thinks that a staff person can become “size shy”.

For what ever reason the staff person does not recommend a particular size to people and when someone requests that size, they are talked out of it. I am not sure why I think this is funny. But I can imagine someone not liking a 5×10 and putting everyone in a 5×8 or a 5×15, becasue they have an irrational fear of a rectangle of that proportion.

Maybe you should look at any size types that aren’t renting and see if you might have a “size shy” issue. Maybe you are just talking people out of that size?

bye for now, Tron
