Title: Companies who market to the self-storage industry
Post by: Travis on April 02, 2014, 01:44:00 PM
As I walked through the hundreds of exhibits at the Inside Self-Storage Expo hall, I noticed that a majority of the vendors were offering 1 of 2 products or services. Can anyone guess what those products or services were?

My guess is there is a lot of construction people - builders, roofers, fencing.....

Then security related stuff.

Payment, online or kiosk.

Hmmmm.....lighting?   Those motion sensor ones?

One of those has to be in the top two......?

Amazingly, every one of those answers is correct.
 
Construction companies made up the largest percentage of exhibitors. Tenant management software products were second. There were also scores of insurance companies and programers/designers that specialize in self-storage websites.
