📢 Do not forget to join us tomorrow for a Hot Topic Webinar: From Empty Units to Real Growth!

Empty units are rarely just a marketing problem.
Growth comes from the full customer journey — how your business is positioned, how clearly you communicate, and how easy you make the experience from first click to move-in.

Self storage customers expect clarity, ease and reassurance at every touchpoint. This webinar challenges the idea that growth comes from tactics alone, and shows how reframing your story, improving your website and connecting the full customer journey leads to stronger performance than ads in isolation.

📅 Wednesday 3 June 2026
🕥 10.30am – 11.30am BST
💻 Online via Zoom
🎟 Complimentary for SSA UK & FEDESSA Members

Featuring:
🔹 Sophie Stubbs, Creative Design Lead, Luxid
🔹 Nick Kay, Creative Strategist, Luxid
