This is my first ever blog post for Storage King, actually, for anyone. My name is Jess from Storage King Melton. Our store manager Geoff and I created a Facebook page for Storage King Melton back in May 2010. As of today, we have 446 friends and counting. Most of these are actual Melton Regional Businesses. We have found that it is a fantastic way to promote and make announcements to our community at the click of a button.
Placing offers, uploading recent photos and articles can be a great way to notify your customers and potential customers of the goings on at your site. Although self storage is more of a “need” rather than a “want”, we have utilised Facebook to showcase what is happening at our store, rather than pushing it as a direct enquiry tool. It's a great way of letting your customer base know what's going on and a great way to build a network with our customers and businesses.
