Establish a great marketing campaign using Yellow Page ads, Internet website, and word of mouth and then ensure your management can follow through with converting the sale.

Storageland is absolutely correct..... for now. I do know that there is multiple areas in the business that is being upgraded that will change the way this industry does business. Tom Litton estimated in an Article from ISS (I believe) called "Spinning the Web" that the yellow pages will be obsolete in ten years as far as this industry. Having inside knowledge, I foresee Five years tops! Just hold on, some changes and innovative ideas are on the door step waiting to be unleashed. Not just in what I have developed over the last two years, but others as well! Its going to be fun.
