Best Self-Storage Marketing Idea Contest: Learn From Peers, Win a Kindle Fire

AUSTIN, Texas – Nov. 11, 2011 – SpareFoot, provider of leading web marketing tools to the self-storage industry, has launched a social media contest for storage operators though its SelfStorage.com partner social media accounts. The Best Self-Storage Marketing Idea Contest aims to encourage operators to share their most creative marketing ideas and get inspired by other entries from industry peers. The entrant with the most-voted idea will win Amazon’s highly anticipated new Kindle Fire tablet.

The contest is deliberately open-ended, to invite a wide range of marketing ideas or strategies that self-storage owners and managers could use to drive more tenants to their facilities. Operators are invited to contribute anything from a crazy concept they’re tossing around in the back of their minds, to a tried-and-true effort that’s been successful in the past.

The public has access to read and comment on entries, which are being accepted through the Self Storage Inc. Facebook page and through an openly accessible micro-site from now until November 28. At that point, a jury of SpareFoot marketing experts will review all entries and select five finalist ideas. On December 1, finalists will be announced and public voting will open up. Anyone may vote for any idea once per voting period, which concludes December 21.

“The goal is to inspire storage operators to recognize social media as not only a consumer marketing channel, but also as an ideal platform for sharing ideas and learning from peers in the industry,” said Rachel Greenfield, SpareFoot Marketing Analyst and coordinator of the contest.

The idea with the most votes wins on December 22, and the entrant behind it will score the Kindle Fire, an exciting new tablet that officially hits shelves next week. SpareFoot pre-ordered one specifically for the Best Self-Storage Marketing Idea Contest winner, so he or she may use it to execute their next great self-storage marketing idea, or just to play Angry Birds.
