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 …

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
