ISS: Combining Education and Entertainment

Whenever I enter a book store, I get giddy. The smell of new books, their glossy covers, and the endless possibilities for education and entertainment appeals to me.

I’ve always been an avid reader, and while, yes, I do have my favorite genres, I branch out occasionally. I’ve read biographies, self-help books and more than my share of classics. Note I did mention education as well as entertainment.

The ISS team hopes to do both, as well. Yes, we’re optimistic you pick up our magazine every month or log into the website not because you feel you must, but also because you want to. That’s one reason we have such a diverse array of offerings. Whether you’re a manager, owner/operator, investor or developer, there are plenty of avenues from which to choose.

In addition to an extensive article archive—segmented by category for easy searches—ISS also offers several specialty magazines every year including the Canada issue, due out later this month, and the summer boat/RV supplement. The ISS 2010 Factbook, available now, covers a range of self-storage topics including construction, marketing, day-to-day management, real estate, finances and more.

You can also find the Inside Self-Storage 2010 Top-Operators List, which ranks 100 of the self-storage industry's foremost operators based on total net-rentable square footage. The list, now available in a downloadable PDF, ranks dozens of facility and brand owners, independents, developers and property-management companies. The data also features number of locations and units, expansion plans and contact information.

We also have a library of on-demand webinars, e-books and, of course, the Inside Self-Storage World Expo. This year’s fall conference will be in New Orleans, Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Show details will unveil in the next few weeks so bookmark the expo site, www.insideselfstorageworldexpo.com.

Of course, Self-Storage Talk, the industry’s best online forum, offers education and entertainment. If you haven’t spent any time on the forum, you’re missing a close-knit community that’s growing by leaps and bounds. Forum members are helpful, insightful, and often downright funny.

Consider Inside Self-Storage the self-storage professional’s new book store. We hope you find us educational and entertaining.
