Self-Service or Full-Service: The Choice is Yours

Hello Fellow Storage Seekers!

Welcome to another entry from our 'Stored Thoughts' vault.

We’ve been in business for a while, but our venture into the storage industry is a relatively new one - just one year and a few months young.

It's been an exciting journey, and I've learned so much along the way. One thing that's taken some getting used to is the rise of contactless customers. As someone who values personal interactions, it's been interesting to adapt to a more digital approach.

Our very first customer, in the winter of 2024, was a completely contactless experience. From renting her unit to paying her bills, the entire process was handled online. It was seamless and efficient, but it also felt a bit... strange. I will never forget that day.

I'm used to shaking hands, exchanging smiles, and building relationships with my customers. So, it's taken some time to adjust to this new way of doing things.

However, I also understand the benefits of contactless accounts. It's convenient, secure, and available 24/7. And let's be honest, sometimes life gets busy, and it's nice to have the option to take care of things from the comfort of your own home.

Our online system allows customers to rent units, pay bills, and manage their accounts entirely online. It's easy, efficient, and available whenever they need it.

I actually created an ad (I’m posting it with this entry) to promote our online services, and our easy move-in process. I'm really proud of how it turned out. The ad showcases the convenience and flexibility of our online system, and I think it really captures the essence of what we're all about.

What really struck me, though, was how much this ad represents our commitment to adapting to the changing needs of our customers. These days, people expect to be able to take care of business on their own terms, and we're happy to oblige.

Of course, I also want to make it clear that we're still here for our customers, whenever they need us. If you'd rather talk to a real person, or if you have questions about your account, we're always here to help. It's all about finding that balance, I think.

We want to make things easy and convenient for our customers, but we also want to make sure they know we're here to support them every step of the way. 

Take care, and thanks for reading!

Laura
