We Need Marketing Ideas
Marketing a Mini and Self Storage Business
You're heavily invested in the success of your mini and self storage business and failure isn't an option. That means you'll also need to invest yourself in the strategies and techniques it takes to effectively market your brand in the marketplace.
Still looking for a way to effectively market your mini and self storage business? It's hard to get your messages heard through the industry's noise.
Simplistic promotional techniques can't penetrate the clutter of the current marketplace. To capture audience attention, you'll need to stay current with the channels they use to receive information and product messages.
Encourage Word of Mouth Referrals
Industry-leading mini and self storage businesses rely on a certain amount of word of mouth marketing buzz to communicate brand values and product messaging.
As a rule, your marketing strategy should include mechanisms that encourage meaningful brand conversations and spread the good word about your business. Mind you, there's a difference between word of mouth marketing and viral marketing -- if word of mouth marketing is a new concept for you, you might want to hire a marketing consultant.
Cost Tracking
The economy is a constant concern for people who own a mini and self storage business. For direct mailing campaigns and other strategic initiatives, it's hard to argue with the ROI you receive from updated mailing lists provided by the industry's leading list vendors. Good mailing lists are money in the bank; they deliver leads, revenue and most importantly, new customers.
Another way to control costs is to conduct periodic across-the-board cost audits designed to highlight areas that are ripe for reductions.
Do We Really Need A Logo?
Having a strong logo for a mini and self storage business is a critical consideration. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.
