Today, self-storage businesses are choosing a blend of remote technology and onsite expertise to help handle the day-to-day operations. Property management software can automate and streamline tasks for onsite managers. Read on for a guest blog from one of Boxwell’s partners, Copper Storage Management to see how a hybrid model of management can be the best of both worlds.
Self-storage allows people to declutter their living space, stay organized, and make the most out of their summer. To be prepared for the influx of customers, check that your facility is adequately staffed and that you have enough storage units available for rent. Provide flexible rental terms, including short-term and long-term options, to accommodate varying preferences.
A well-trained self-storage facility manager can help customers select the right unit size and offer suggestions for maximizing storage space. And they can offer hands-on service and personalization. So, invest in your business’s management to drive growth and profitability.
If you are hiring for your self-storage facility, be sure to look at your applicant’s soft skills. As automation and artificial intelligence grow, it is increasingly evident that empathy, emotional intelligence, curiosity, and adaptability are essential qualities for success.
