Who gets the customer?

Competing for consumers.
Do any of you remember when you could actually build a storage facility and just wait for it to fill up?
You still may be able to find the perfect location and build a property under budget. But can you win the consumers in the market? Marketing has become much more intense than it ever was. The competition to get a dollar of spending money from a consumer is fierce. You are competing against lots of other businesses that are not even remotely storage related for the attention and the business of consumers. You are also competing against lots of other storage and organizing options. If you are not spending a significant portion of your day concentrating on marketing and sales your competitors will leave you in the dust.
Look at your market and see how people are trying to get noticed and trying to get leads.
