Traditionally in the self-storage industry, self-storage businesses often rely on word-of-mouth referrals. But, a demand study by Self-Storage Association states that the most common way for people to find their storage facility is while driving past it. So clearly, first impressions are important and your brand impression depends on that.

What is the first impression of your self-storage business? SIGNAGE. 

Fun Fact: A popular study in America states that the average U.S. household has 300,000 things. (NBC) and The United States has upward of 50,000 storage facilities, more than five times the number of Starbucks. Currently, there are 7.3 square feet of self-storage space for every man, woman, and child in the nation. (SSA)
