A Milestone Reached
rapidstorOnline Bookings Work!
LAST week we hit our first milestone with RapidStor - 250 online bookings!

Whilst only 4 months old in its current form, RapidStor is showing the way for online bookings and the value of having prices shown on the Web.

The SSAA Demand study showed that the majority of customers want to see prices online, despite most Self Storage sites resisting by not displaying prices on websites.

Ask yourself this - would you book an car rental and not know the price, would you book a plane ticket and not know the price? - No you wouldn't!

Self Storage renters don't either....

Our research shows that the "Bookings" page is the second most visited page, indicating that there are 'Ready to buy" customers on the Internet and lots of them....!

The deal has to be right for them to buy, so its vitally important for you to tune prices to the market. They won't buy if the price is not right.  Jupiter Research found that 42% of people don't buy online when they can't find out details about their purchase so they go elsewhere - probably your competitors.

Make no mistake, there are Self Storage renters out there on the Internet right now....

Web customers are the ones in control: they do their own research and if the deal is not right or your prices are hidden,you won't get the business.

Web site statistics now track how many people view your website and how many buy from you. Promotions can be tracked.

RapidStor has a number of display options so you can display as many or as little unit types as you need to.

RapidStor is a product that works with SiteLink Web Edition. 24/7 Customers do rent outside business hours - are you ready for their business?

API - What The?
API Application Program Interface (API)

There is a lot of talk about API's  for Self Storage.

What are they? An API is like a set of "Keys" that gain access to parts of the software program so information can pass back and forth in real time.

Web developers use "API's" to display things like current timetables or car or plane availability or the weather on their web sites.

So how does this relate to Self Storage? If you want to take payments, access account information, reserve a space or more, your web pages will need to access an API to that.

Software >>>API>>>Custom web page or template >>> Customer interaction.

SiteLink provides a number of Free 'Templates" for users and these use the Free "API"

RapidStor uses the free API and has been developed by us so you don't have to engage a web developer to make your custom web pages.

In a nutshell, an API is a tool provided (in our case free) so that sites can display information on phones, tablets, PC's or web pages as they want.

The range of what can be done is only limited by cost and imagination.

SiteLink has provided the API to all users free of charge for 4 years.
