Texas Self Storage Association

We love what member My Storehouse Mini Storage has to say about how much community involvement and support matters! We also spotted an Amazon hub locker in this photo, which not only adds value to their community, but also increases foot traffic and provides a new avenue for customer acquisitions.👏

Community matters.

At My Storehouse Mini Storage, we’re proud to be more than just a storage facility. Owner Stephen Wisnieski is honored to be involved with the Wharton Lions Club and help support the community we call home.

Whether it’s through local organizations, community events, or serving our customers each day, we believe in giving back and investing in the Wharton community.

And yes… I did make him stop and take this picture. 😂📸

In the latest issue of Self-Storage News, Barry Graff of The Jenkins Organization breaks down the simple techniques top-performing managers use to turn more walk-ins into move-ins by building trust, guiding customers to the right solution and confidently asking for the rental.

If you're looking to improve conversion rates, this article is packed with practical ideas you can put to work immediately.
