Self Storage Tip 💡 💰

I often shout about how well Mansfield is doing …. 

So equally I want to be honest when I spot something that’s concerning 

Below are the trends since the start of the year at Mansfield 

Mansfield had a blistering start since opening …. 12,000 Sq Ft Occupied in 4 months 

However … The last few months have seen a downward trend 

Here’s the details …

Again a trend down here … but I think we will get more move ins this month so that will increase 🤞

 

Amount Of Sq Ft Moved In

Jan - 3,320

Feb - 3,385

April - 1,050

Again a trend down here … but I think we will get more move ins this month so that will increase 🤞

 

Wow … As you can see there is a downward trend 

There’s nothing to get majorly concerned with …

HOWEVER … 

This is a big enough sample size to know we have a problem

Can we pinpoint why or where this started to happen???

Anddd … We can! 

 

This is the good thing about storage … There’s usually a simple way of pinpointing problems 

The downward trend started when we increased prices and removed offers

Sooo we now know the market is sensitive to prices and offers 

In the coming weeks, we will be playing around with offers and prices to see if we can find that sweet spot

The most important thing is to be aware when there is a downturn, once you're aware we can do something about it 

I’ll keep you posted …

 

Ohhh and PS we have 10 more containers been delivered this week so that should increase the amount of Sq Ft that moves in
