Did you know you can sign up for a free weekly e-mail newsletter from Inside Self-Storage? Its available in HTML or plain-text formats. Every week your e-newsletter will include an operational tip from an experienced self-storage professional; a feature article on business topics such as marketing, security, finance and development; and up-to-date industry hot news. You can also read about other ISS resources such as our new education products, the annual Factbook, Buyers Guide and Scholarship Program. Well remind you of upcoming webinars and trade events, and tell you how to register, too.

Our ultimate goal is to develop a series of newsletters for segments of the storage industry. One bulletin would be exclusively for managers, another for construction contractors, yet another for investors, etc. We hope to have these tailored offerings for you by years end.

Wondering how to subscribe? Its easy. Just visit www.insideselfstorage.com and click on the Free E-Newsletter button across the top menu. Youll be asked for your name and a valid e-mail address.

Youll also be asked to create a password. Afterward, youll receive a confirmation e-mail. Simply respond, and youll start receiving your free, informative newsletter every week. (A confirmation protects you as well as us. It also allows you to better manage your online subscriptions.)

We want you to be part of the newsletter! Send us a letter, facility spotlight, manager tale or press release. Is there something unique about your business youd like to share? Would you like to recognize an employee for extraordinary performance? Well publicize your announcement. Please e-mail submissions to [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you!
