Storage.com Announces Partnership with Safeguard Self Storage

Safeguard Self Storage, a premier self storage provider with more than 65 locations in six states is partnering with Storage.com and its storage network to improve online marketing presence and drive more customers to its properties.

“We’re always looking for ways to make it easy for individuals and business people using the Internet to search for self storage to find our amenity-packed stores,” said Kurt Kleindienst, Vice President of Operational Initiatives at Safeguard Self Storage. “Safeguard understands self storage and—best of all—we help our customers understand their many self storage options and assist them in finding the solution that best fits their storage needs. We look forward to the additional exposure our locations will receive by being listed on Storage.com.”

The addition of Safeguard Self Storage and their properties to the storage network means that storage consumers using Storage.com to find, compare, and reserve their self storage solution have an increased selection of quality facilities to choose from in several markets throughout the Midwest and East Coast. These markets include Chicago, New York City, and Miami.

“Safeguard Self Storage is an outstanding company, and we’re excited to have their properties added to Storage.com,” said Nick Bilava, Director of Sales and Marketing for Storage.com. “Adding Safeguard’s 65 locations to our shop-and-compare directory really benefits consumers all over the United States. Consumers searching for self storage options can sort by the size of unit they need, what they are willing to pay, and the amenities they want in seconds to find the exact unit that is right for them.”

For Safeguard Self Storage, Storage.com provides a results-oriented self storage marketing program that can help them gain visibility in all of the markets where they operate self storage facilities. Many Safeguard Self Storage locations are in highly competitive markets throughout the nation, which makes having a strong marketing presence a significant priority.

“Our program is set up to provide an immediate return on investment by only charging our member facilities when they receive a new tenant,” said Bill Hipsher of B² Interactive, an Omaha-based, full-service digital marketing agency that operates Storage.com through a licensing agreement. “We have—and will continue to see—an increase in the number of consumers wanting the ability to reserve a unit online any time of the day when it’s convenient for them. With the Storage.com listings we provide, Safeguard Self Storage facilities will be able to provide that level of service.”

As Storage.com continues to improve upon the current marketing line for self storage operators, along with the shopping experience for storage consumers, adding operators like Safeguard Self Storage will continue to be a top priority. An abundant selection of facilities located throughout the United States will help Storage.com provide a better overall storage solution.

Storage.com provides information on the largest available variety of self storage facilities throughout the United States and accepts online reservations through the website. Prospective self storage customers using Storage.com benefit from a simple and unbiased online shopping experience that is secure and easy to use. As a member of Storage.com, storage facilities can choose from three, easy-to-understand levels of participation, all designed to help facilities be found online by new tenants and provide storage operators with an easy-to-measure return on their marketing investments.
