Self Storage Tips and Recomendations

Halle Hughes

Posted

I am entering an entrepreneurship competition for school in which the winner is awarded $20,000 to jumpstart their business/idea. I am leaning towards presenting a plan for a self storage business, but I am in need of some help from someone who has some experience with storage.

How do you know if their is a need in the market or if the market is too saturated? What are the preferred sizes of storage units? What features of storage parks help generate customers? Promotional ideas? Any and all tips related to construction, financing, and management are welcome as well!

Thank you!
