Marketing contest!
OK, guys ... I teased you with this before, but now it is OFFICIAL: Inside Self-Storage has just this morning launched its first ever "Best in Self-Storage Marketing" contest, and you can win up to $1,000!
Check out the press release here:
http://www.insideselfstorage.com/hot...g-contest.html
Or jump right to the contest landing page!
http://www.insideselfstorage.com/marketing_contest/
I hope some of you facility owners and managers out there will take this opportunity to show off your marketing efforts. I've been seeing some really creative campaigns and pieces this year. Operators are stepping way outside the box in some cases, which is refreshing and inspiring. Come on ... be a marketing "rock star" and win some cash!

I want to be the Rock Star Winner!!!
Send me the application! This is fun, and I'm more than happy to show you all mine if you'll show me yours. 
To all the wonderful SST members AND LURKERS; jump in here and let's get it started. You wouldn't want me to run away with the cash because of no competition now would you?! 
Kanagroo, where are you? Come on Fairbanks, let's take Teri up on the offer snag the money and run. We can split it and parlay it in Vegas.
Thanks ISS, this should be really interesting to learn about all of the creative genius hiding behind self storage counters. We know there are some very creative people in our industry cause heck, we sell empty space, and you've got to be creative to do that. Good luck everyone!

Hey Jobesteph, just wanted to say welcome to SST forums!
I agree, it would be great to see the submissions. I guess I have competition now since you entered!  I hope more people do enter because the more ideas we share, the better we all become. Thanks for participating and welcome to the gang!

I'm excited for you and wish you the best of luck! So far, I'm impressed and thrilled with the level of enthusiasm we've seen from folks in the industry. And yes, once the results are in, we will share examples of the best and brightest campaigns. You'll be amazed at what some facilities are doing.

Hi Brad
I got very excited about this until I saw that you have to be a US citizen to enter! 
Any chance of a global competition?!
Love "Inside delf storage" by the way - always interesting stuff and useful discussions.
