Why Global MaxManagementsm?

CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Our superior Customer Service Management generates positive customer experience results, which can lead to long tenant duration. Our highly trained and experienced regional managers will provide dedicated support to local managers at your property.

QUALITY TENANTS

Our focus on attracting Quality Tenants can result in longer tenant duration and greater receptivity to rental rate increases.

REVENUE RATE MANAGEMENT

Our effectiveness at Revenue Rate Management, combined with consistently high occupancies due in part to the previously mentioned strategies, can lead to successful long-term revenue and NOI growth.

The Global MaxManagementsm Platform

The Global MaxManagementsm platform is a superior, branded property management service for self-storage owners, providing day-to-day property management services and strong relationship and alignment of interests between Global Self Storage and self storage owners. We treat third-party managed properties as though they are our own, employing the same best-in-class strategies, marketing, operations, industry experience, and efficiency to help the property succeed. With Global MaxManagementsm, you'll get a partnership with a strong and national brand, increased revenue, and hassle-free ownership. 

Performance

Quarter after quarter, the company has demonstrated strong same-store revenue and net operating income growth.

Revenue Rate Management

In seeking to maximize the performance of our properties, we employ our proprietary revenue rate management program, which helps us to analyze, adjust, and set our move-in and existing tenant rental rates on a real-time basis across our portfolio. Among other technologies, we employ internet data scraping of our local competitors’ move-in rental rates to enable us to proactively respond and take advantage of changing market conditions across our portfolio. 

Brand Recognition and Digital Marketing Prowess

We have registered the trademark and developed the brand “Global Self Storage.” We have developed a corporate logo and have incorporated it on all of our on-site signage, advertising and other marketing materials. This branding process has included the creation and development of the www.GlobalSelfStorage.us website, whereby prospective customers can rent a storage unit or learn about the features of any of our properties in their various locations. We continue to develop the Global Self Storage online presence through advertising and search engine optimization.

Focus on Quality Tenants

Attracting and retaining high-quality, long-term tenants is a top priority for Global Self Storage and we strongly believe in tenant quality over tenant quantity. We prioritize tenant quality both in our marketing and operational efforts. In our marketing efforts, we have seen success in our referral marketing program, through which our tenants may recommend Global Self Storage to their family, friends, and colleagues. This generates new tenant inquiries for high quality new tenants. As part of our initiative to build a higher quality overall tenant base we often target our promotions to credit card paying customers, who rent for longer duration and and accept greater rental rate increases. We have a strong digital presence generating new tenant inquiries and also believe that our property managers’ attention to detail—maintaining security, cleanliness, and attentive customer service—is essential to attracting high quality tenants. As a result of these efforts, average same-store tenant duration was ~3.0 years as of December 31, 2020. 

Customer Service Management

Customers choose us because of our high quality service and facilities. All of our properties have on-site property managers who are committed to delivering the finest customer service. We utilize a customer call center to handle telephone inquiries from current and prospective tenants whenever our store managers are not available. We seek to deliver convenience and high-quality customer service to our tenants as well as maintain clean and secure properties at all times. At Global Self Storage, Security is Our First Prioritysm and we implement 24/7 video security and keypad-coded gate access at our properties. Each of our properties also features a rental and payment kiosk available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, where prospective tenants can rent a unit and current tenants can pay their rent. Our goal is to make the customer experience as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.

We have highly trained and experienced people managing our own facilities as well as our third-party managed properties, and we know how to make your property succeed too. The quality and professionalism of our employees—from corporate headquarters to each individual property—is evident, and the strength and competence we present is palpable across all facets of the company—from marketing to operations—providing a seamless experience for all customers.
