Automatic Billing Trumps Discounting: Self-Storage Operators Increase Profit and Limit Delinquency

A recent article i read on inside self storage, i found it interesting, perhaps you will too:

With operators battling over every rental dollar, discounting has become a widely used marketing strategy in the self-storage industry. But “one month free” doesn’t have to be your facility’s calling card. Instead, adopting an automatic credit card payment program can reduce collection time, and increase occupancy and profit. Here’s how.

In 1987, my company built its first self-storage facility in the west end of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As we were setting up the banking arrangements, I disagreed with our then bank manager over the legality of automatically charging customer credit cards.

In his opinion, transactions could be invalidated if there wasn’t a separate signature for each monthly charge. In weighing the pros and cons, we ultimately decided the risk of a customer trying to reverse the charges was far outweighed by the savings we’d achieve in collections. In the 23 years since, we’ve only had two such reversals out of the thousands of transactions we process monthly, both of which were resolved at minimal cost.

WOW! you’ll never know what you’ll find! maybe even a dead dog :(

“A dead dog was found among possessions in a storage unit in the 3500 block of Washington Street on May 31. The unit was being cleaned out and items set for auction because of non-payment. The dog’s body was taken to Lake County Animal Welfare for further investigation.”

That is really sad :( what is wrong with people these days?
