The Big Storage Wiki

So a gentleman by the name of Marc Goodin recently e-mailed our news center to let us know he had launched a new website to serve as a resource to self-storage owners: www.thebigwiki.com/self_storage_profits. "The big wiki?" I thought. What the heck is that?

Turns out it's a website that allows folks to launch web pages quickly and easily, without all the mumbo-jumbo of having to build them from scratch. There's an extremely diverse community using the site, in addition to our storage friend ... there's a person posting photos and info regarding German Shorthair Pointers, someone else sharing gardening tips, and yet another user highlighting Connecticut attractions. Then there's Marc, whose page includes information on self-storage site selection, design, approvals, construction, operations and marketing. He even has his own blog.

It's not a bad page, and he's got some excellent marketing ideas in his blog, such as seasonal giveaways for storage facilities. I won't give away his secrets here, since I'm sure he would rather you read them on his page directly. But I urge you to jump over and check it out. You just might learn a few new things!
