‘Tis The Season

The slow season is here for storage. I could tell yesterday. It was the last Monday of the month and the phones were slower than we had hoped. Even though it is September, you would like to see and would think that you should see busy rental demand on the last few days of the month. We had a fair number of phone call, but less than projected. And the rental demand was rather soft, too.

This is the time of year when every rental really does count. People who moved in during May and June are stating to move out. The phones are getting quieter, so if you miss a rental today, you may not get another rental inquiry tomorrow.

It is also a good time to see what you can do to help people who are in your facility to stay for a while. If you could learn how to increase your length of stay for a few months, you would have a lot better winter than you might otherwise.

This is the time of year, we work on improving our already awesome speed to answer rates to make sure we get every rental we can fro our clients. I hope September treated you well.
