Self Storage Manager and Neighbor Join Forces
In an innovative move,
Neighbor, the leading marketplace for self storage, has recently announced a strategic partnership with
Self Storage Manager (SSM), renowned for its management software tailored to both single and multi-facility self storage operators. This collaboration aims to bolster visibility for SSM's users, empowering them to easily list their available storage units on Neighbor's expansive platform, thereby attracting a plethora of digital-first renters who are currently seeking self storage, vehicle storage, and parking options.
Neighbor's Mission
As the largest marketplace for self storage, Neighbor differentiates itself by offering a wide range of choices—from traditional self storage units to residential garages and unique multifamily spaces. With Neighbor, renters can compare their options in a single, user-friendly search, allowing them to find the perfect storage solution quickly and easily. The CEO of Neighbor, Joseph Woodbury, articulated the critical need for storage operators to transition online to avoid losing potential revenue. He emphasized that as online-savvy renters become the majority, engaging digitally is no longer optional but essential for growth.
Implications of the Partnership
The partnership not only streamlines the listing process for SSM's clients but also amplifies their market reach. Here are some key advantages of this collaboration:
1.
Instant Distribution: Facility owners can now publish available spaces directly to Neighbor’s marketplace, ensuring that their offerings are prominently displayed to potential renters.
2.
Incremental Demand: By making use of Neighbor’s massive digital reach, SSM customers will encounter an influx of renters who are actively comparing storage options online.
3.
Trusted Workflows: Operators utilizing SSM’s software will benefit from the seamless integration without having to alter their familiar routines, marking a significant improvement in operational efficiency.
4.
Faster Leasing Process: The collaboration is designed for agility, enabling quicker reservations thanks to transparent pricing and the ability to book in just minutes.
For renters, the benefits are equally appealing:
- - A Comprehensive Search Experience: They can sift through various storage units and options—everything from small units to large ones, and even specialized garage spaces—all in one place.
- - Tailored Options: Renters can refine their searches based on size, climate control, accessibility, and security preferences, ensuring they secure a perfect fit for their needs.
