Another good day yesterday for reservations … With 6 😀
Anyway exciting newsssss -
Exciting things are happening and we’re only at the beginning of the year! So, here’s a quick heads up before we dive into today’s numbers…
A LOT of you message me asking:
👉 “How did you actually get started in self-storage?”
👉 “How do you launch sites without it taking over your life?”
👉 “Is this doable without loads of money and staff?”
So… I finally sat down and built a proper masterclass (go me 😂) 🎥👇
(Literally took me 3 months haha … I kid you not 🙃)
I’ve literally taken all of my knowledge and put it all into this one masterclass and I can’t wait for you guys to see it 🤩
In this session, I break down exactly how:
• I launched self-storage sites with a tiny initial investment
• to build a six-figure self-storage business
• to keep it simple, automated, and not time-heavy
Plus, what I’d do differently if I was starting again today (Errrr I made some SERIOUS mistakes (as you know) , this will literally save you £££’s!)
No fluff. No theory. Just the real stuff I actually use day-to-day.
If you’ve ever thought:
🤔 “Could I do this?”
🤔 “Would this work for me?”
🤔 “Is self-storage actually worth it?”
This will give you a clear game plan.
***Andddd if you did want to work closer with me … There is a link at the end of the masterclass to my coaching program.
This will start in February butttt I can only take on 10 new clients each month … I wanted to offer it to you chaps on my newsletter first
Right… now let’s get into today’s newsletter 😁📊
Loads of self-storage love,
Dean ❤️ 🙃

🤐 A Self Storage Tip - “Willerby Yearly Revenues“

Self Storage Tip 💡 💰
This is one of my favourite things to do … I love to go through and compare yearly revenues of each site
Today it’s Willerby’s turn
Willerby was my first indoor site …. It was a MASSIVE investment and nearly crippled me financially … But we got through it … Just haha
The table below shows the revenue (January 1st to December 31st EX VAT) for the last 5 years for our Willerby site

Key things to note -
In 5 years, we have doubled revenue, an increase of over £500,000. There’s very little costs associated with that increase in revenue, so the vast majority of that drops straight to the bottom line
2025 was the first year our site hit the magic £1 million in revenue … Very few sites in the North of England hit this … Something I’m extremely proud of!
Between 2024 and 2025, we increased revenue by £92,898
That’s a 10% increase in revenue. Considering we only increased let sq ft by 2,000 that tells me we have a fantastic revenue management system in place
Lastly, I like to look at December's revenue to give you an idea of what to expect the following year
December’s 2025 revenue was - £89,746
Times by 12 (months in the year) - £1,076,952
So even if we just hit December’s figures every month through 2026, then we can expect around a £40,000 revenue increase in 2026. This is a 3.9% increase
BUT … Obviously, this is based on December's figures …. We will comfortable beat December’s revenue figure in the vast majority of months in 2026
Tomorrow we will look at Beverley
