Patriot's 2 Min Drive: State Of The Industry
Patriot Holdings' strategic initiatives to drive revenues, cost control, and boost NOI resulting in maximizing self-storage asset values and increasing returns for investors.
We continue to innovate, focusing on operational efficiency, improved marketing, and customer service to drive growth.
Buying Right
- The majority (85%) of the 50,000+ self-storage facilities in the USA are owned by small-scale operators who may not have kept up with property improvements or market rents.
- Patriot leverages a nationwide database of owners and deep relationships built over the years with sellers to acquire the best off-market assets.
Cost Control & Efficiency
- We're employing remote leasing technology for expense reduction and improved efficiency.
- Our operations are powered by StorEdge, an advanced management software enhancing administrative functions - and integrates with facility access control for tenants.
Asset Expansion & Upgrades
- Our approach involves new developments and existing asset expansion to increase facilities' size, resulting in increased rental income.
- We're investing in renovations and cosmetic improvements to increase rents and occupancy. This includes painting, paving, landscaping, gating, and improved lighting.
Strategic Pricing & Revenue Management
- By targeting facilities with below-market rents, we can implement significant rent increases to drive revenue growth post-acquisition.
- We use aggressive marketing and leasing strategies to boost occupancy rates.
Comprehensive Marketing Strategy
- We launched an upgraded website in April 2023 using the StorEdge Solution.
- We are increasing our Google Ads PPC budgets and hiring marketing experts with over 15 years of storage advertising expertise.
- We prioritize website conversion optimization, SEO, and improving our Google My Business Reviews management.
Promotions & Concessions
- We offer attractive promotions (e.g., 25% off for the first 3 months, 1 free month) to convert potential customers.
- Post-conversion, we apply strategic revenue management to adjust rental rates to the market level.
Monitoring & Improvement
- We use advanced tracking tools to monitor performance across all channels.
- We've installed real-time property and marketing reports for quicker decision-making.
