Self Storage Meme of the day -

Self Storage Tip -

QR Codes Baby!!

QR codes are soooo underutilised!! 

Any and all written literature MUST have a QR code on. 

Again its just common sense, make it easier for customers to find information about you and your business and ultimately book with you. 

When I say written literature I mean leaflets, signage, cards etc etc 

Our signs have just been ordered for Wrexham and we’ve included QR Codes for all the signs … Potential customers are going to pass, instead of just putting the website address we have a QR Code that directs them to the exact part of the website they need  

We use Myqrcode.com … Its so simple to setup … Thank me later Store Nation 

Loads of self storage love, 

Dean :-)
