How to Get Reviews for your Self Storage Business

Posted on by

In the self storage business, there’s not always a lot of opportunities to have one-on-one contact with your customers. And chances are, if you do, it’s to talk about maintenance or contracts. So how do you get reviews or testimonials that will help your business from existing customers?

Why should you have reviews?

Customer reviews are an excellent way to give first-hand experience on your company. Potential renters will appreciate opinions from those who have already dealt with your business and will be more likely to trust you after hearing others’ reviews. Having existing customers review your business will also show that they are not only satisfied with the services, but confident enough in their experiences to share them with others.

Using testimonials are also a form of marketing with minimal costs as sites such as yelp, yahoo local, etc. do not charge for users to post or check reviews.

How to obtain self storage reviews

If you don’t already have customer reviews for your self storage business (a quick google search can find this out for you), a good tactic is to be direct with your customers. Ask them to post for you … their honest opinions though, as the reviews should be genuine. Let them know you are trying to expand your market and a review from existing customers will let others know what to expect. You may offer those who agree a coupon of sorts, or a discount on services in exchange for their review. Just make sure whatever you offer them does not come off as bribery or payment. However, a simple this-is-for-your-trouble coupon can be a sincere form of thanks.

Another great way to get exposure is to offer deals to new customers. The sale will get the buzz out about your company, and renters have a reason to contact you because of the new-timers discount. And, those who are satisfied are sure to pass along the news, either through word of mouth or through their own personally-written testimonial.

Keep these tips in mind the next time you’re marketing your self storage business to help bring in new customers and keep your current ones involved and happy.
