Hitting the strike zone
-
Welcome to the self storage blog, where we keep a diary on our experience with self storage.
I didn’t get a chance to put in an entry yesterday, as I was travelling. I am in Orange County California for a meeting of the California Self Storage Association. PhoneSmart is a co-sponsor and we hope to talk to lots of clients and maybe gain a few new clients in the process. Our sponsorship involves a few fun things. There will be a very special, very California prize that will be raffled off at today’s meeting. I can’t tell you what it is yet. I was sworn to secrecy, so as to not devulge the nature of a new campaign the California association is starting to gain more awareness from non-members and more participation from members. The state associations play a very important role in helping our businesses and they need support and participation. So go help your local state association.
The other prize at today’s meeting will be a PhoneSmart night at Dodger stadium for the first game after the All-Star break. It will be Dodgers vs. Giants for a fun north-south rivalry game. So I have been thinking baseball lately.
Yesterday our calls at PhoneSmart were in the strike zone and there were a lot of pitches being thrown. We actually saw more calls than we had forecasted, as this week of July is generally a little bit slow as people are gearing up for end of the month moving a nd cleaning projects. So this was a good sign. When the calls are busy, we are making money for our clients and for ourselves. And we are helping people who need storage find a great place to store with as little stress as possible. We are in the perfect win-win-win situation.
I’ll let you know how California is doing in my next entry.
bye for now,
