About this listen
Do you really know who’s renting your storage units?
In this episode, Josh and Melissa Huff dive into one of the most overlooked aspects of effective self-storage marketing: creating clear, specific buyer personas. Understanding your customers is the first step to attracting more of them—and retaining them longer.
We break down how to analyze your current rent roll to identify customer patterns, segment renters into meaningful categories (happy vs. sad customers), and craft profiles that can guide your marketing, sales messaging, and customer service.
