Even if your self-storage facility is only a few years old, you may have noticed that your current unit mix is no longer fulfilling the needs of your customer base. Markets change—sometimes quite quickly. What worked in the past may no longer be what consumers are seeking today. Fortunately, most metal buildings can be modified without a whole lot of mess or cost. It’s possible that you can even do it yourself! In this new thread on the Self-Storage Talk online community, members are sharing advice for converting smaller units into larger and vice versa, plus strategies for catering to tenant needs when unit alterations aren’t possible. Get tips that might make your inventory more profitable!
