In the current challenging economy, it’s more important than ever for self storage business owners to identify efficient methods to market and attract customers to their facilities. Universal Management Company President and Founder M. Anne Ballard, popularly known in the self-storage industry by her nickname, “the hat lady,” asserts that increasing RRM – referrals, repeat customers and marketing-sourced customers – represents the lowest cost per lease for facilities. On August 25, 2010, Ms. Ballard will host the free webinar Using On-Site Events to Grow Referrals, Repeats and Marketing-Sourced Move-Ins. Topics will include the following:
• Getting the most value out of on-site events
• Setting up a referral program
• Working with existing customers to get more rentals and referrals
• Why facilities need more Door Turns to improve occupancy and referrals
