A major perk of owning a self storage business is that you can easily automate or downsize resources in order to increase revenue. Unlike other commercial real estate sectors, simplifying the leasing process is a breeze thanks to innovative technologies. From kiosks that act as your sales team to the use of Dynamic Ads that refine your digital advertising strategy and generate higher quality leads, you have the ability to decrease overhead in order to increase revenue. 

Automation Makes You More Efficient

One of the biggest drains on self storage overhead is having a staff onsite 7 days a week. Automation allows you to operate more efficiently with a minimum number of staff members in place. Decrease the amount of money that goes out the door by installing rental kiosks and adding online leasing to your website. Not only will you be able to rent storage units 24 hours a day, you also won’t have to pay staff members to be onsite to fill out leasing forms that can be done by the renter online.

Rental Kiosks and Online Leasing

Today’s renters expect a quick and easy leasing process. They are technologically savvy and the convenience of filling out a form at a rental kiosk or from the palm of their hand on your website is often preferred to interacting with a staff member over the phone or in-person at your facility. Adding a rental kiosk allows you to rent units 24 hours a day, as opposed to only during your office hours. Having customers fill out their own forms, choose their units, and pay online or at a kiosk significantly decreases the drain on your resources and increases customer satisfaction.
