Look out for July

Welcome to the self storage blog, our diary of the self storage world.

Today is the day that the beast wakes up. All the work and preparation for a busy season that you and we have been making are going to be called into action today. Our call volume day got off to a mediocre start early this morning and then a few minutes ago, the flood gates opened and the calls started rolling in like crazy. This whole week will be busy and next week will be very crazy. If you are not ready, it may be too late.

Are you prepared with stafing levels? Have you gotten all your promo materials out? If you are working on occupancy, do you have some good specials available? If you are pushing revenue, are your rates up high enough? Do you have plans to increase street rates by the middle of next week if you need to? Do you have us answering your missed calls?

Last year, the last day of July and the first Monday of August were our two busiest days of the year. This year the 31st falls on a Sunday and the 1st is a Monday. Look out. This means call volume increasing events are overlapping.

bye for now,
Tron
