Property Management Trend To Look For
-
How much money a company is willing to spend keeping up with the latest technology has always depended upon either the availability of funds or the actual need to upgrade. But in today's world, as technology continues to advance at a faster and faster rate, setting aside funds for upgrading your self storage property may be the best solution.
All companies expect to pay a certain percentage toward upkeep, maintenance, and security for their high-tech electronic equipment. I often wonder how many companies realize that continual upgrading not only makes sense, but also is now a necessity. As advances become more the “norm” it has actually become less expensive to replace a computer, than it does to maintain one.
Keeping up with the Jones' is more like keeping up with the Jetsons nowadays. The computer, e-mail and web sites are as important to self storage facilities as video surveillance and coded entry systems. I wonder why computer manufacturers have not offered trade-in allowances to businesses wishing to upgrade on an annual basis. It would guarantee repeat business and a sales increase if they simply offered some sort of incentive.
Until then, we should all think about starting an electronic “upgrade” fund and contribute on a monthly basis.Written by Laurie Cox PhoneSmart call center outbound projects manager and business blog writer.
