New Online Directory Offers Alternative For Self Storage Companies
Oct 30, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ --Los Angeles, CA – www.SelfStorageDeals.com, a popular self storage lead generating website which has sold over 500,000 leads to individual companies, has recently launched a separate self storage directory at storage.selfstoragedeals.com. The new directory allows self storage companies of varying sizes to create an internet presence and attract business from online customers at a very low cost. Storage companies who wish to be included in the directory pay a monthly fee for each location they list. This pay per facility option allows smaller companies to measure sales results before increasing their spending.

For many self storage companies the idea of obtaining customers by means of any type of online marketing source is still a very novel concept. Self storage companies that do not have a website or any internet presence at all can use the new self storage directory to take advantage of the overwhelming amount of customers that strictly use online sources when searching for a local self storage company to meet their needs.

Selfstoragedeals.com currently provides service to over 10,000 storage facilities nationwide and is expanding at a rate that should double this number by the end of 2008. Until now Selfstoragedeals’ revenue has come from generating sales leads by allowing potential customers to log on and fill out a self storage quote request form listing the needed self storage unit size and the storage start date. Once the customer’s information has been gathered the website forwards this directly to a local self storage facility’s call center in real-time charging the facility on a per sale basis.

Though this system continues to work best for many larger self storage companies affiliated with selfstoragedeals.com, some self storage companies without a dedicated sales team have found it overwhelming to receive such a large volume of leads that they could not possibly follow up on. The new self storage directory site obviates this problem by allowing each self storage company to be listed individually, so that customers can contact that specific facility on their own at exactly the time when they actually need a storage quote or are ready to rent a storage facility.

“Some customers prefer to search for storage facilities in their local area on their own, then make contact directly,” said self storage deals Sales manager Colin O’Brien. “The new directory appeals to these customers and also offers an alternative to storage facilities who wish to be listed in the directory because they don’t have the time or staff to call back a long list of leads.”
