How Does Your Self Storage Business Look?

How important is the appearance of a self storage facility, very important.

Looks are very important when it comes to self storage.  The way the outside of a self storage facility looks can either make or break a rental.  Someone seeking self storage, aside from making sure the facility is safe and in a convenient location, will want to make sure aesthetically the facility works for them.  Besides location being important to customers making sure that the outside of the facility is clean and attractive is a selling factor also. 

This may sound absurd but by driving by a self storage facility and the building is decrepit or that is it looks like it is falling apart and the paint is chipping away, I will probably not want to stop.  Now the aesthetics of the facility outside may or may not necessarily constitute what type of a self storage facility is being run.  Sure, the facility may be very clean an organized once inside, but if the outside of the self storage facility is not as clean and organized, someone driving by who originally had planned to stop and look at the facility, may not know that the office and even the storage units themselves are actually clean and rather nice.  Making sure the outside main office building where a prospect tenant will eventually go into and rent or where the current tenant comes in to pay their rent.  Having some minor landscape work outside always helps enhance the self storage facility grounds.  There is  that old cliche, never judge a book by its cover, however we know we all do, regardless of whether we mean to or not.  Monthly rental rates at an appealing self storage facility can be a bit higher and a tenant will not mind paying a few extra dollars per month if the facility is pleasant to the eye.  If a caller states they do not care what the facility looks like, they are kidding themselves or are trying to convince one that they do not care what the facility looks like.  In truth, a caller will mention how they drove by a facility and were very impressed at how the facility looked, without even going inside yet.   They will state that they could tell just by looking at the outside of the self storage facility it is a place they would not think twice about stopping at and renting a storage unit right there and then.  If a building and its immediate surroundings are pleasant to look at, the viewer will assume the self storage facility is safe and clean.  A storage unit is like a second garage for renters, except this second garage is not physically located at their place of residence but on the premises of the self storage facility.  When someone needs to go to their storage unit, they want to make sure it is safe, secure, clean and pleasant to look at.
