Cost Saving Opportunities SBOA’s primary value proposition centers on providing substantial discounts from industry-leading vendors, which significantly reduces operating expenses for self-storage facilities. This presents an opportunity to introduce cost management solutions and procurement services that align with existing vendor partnerships.

Technology Integration With a tech stack that includes tools like Elementor, Nginx, and Modernizr, SBOA values modern digital infrastructure. There is potential to offer advanced software solutions such as property management platforms, automated marketing tools, or security systems that integrate with their current tech environment.

Educational Engagement The launch of virtual educational programs like Storage for Rookies indicates a strong focus on member training and development. This opens avenues for sales of online course platforms, management training services, or industry-specific educational content to enhance member retention and growth.

Partnership Expansion Recent collaborations with signage and auction companies show openness to strategic alliances. Opportunities exist to propose additional partnerships for marketing, signage solutions, or operational services that can add value to SBOA members’ facilities and improve visibility.

Market Reach and Growth Operating within the self-storage industry and leveraging a membership base of over 8,000, SBOA offers a broad distribution channel for products and services targeted at storage facility owners. This creates a channel for introducing scalable solutions like tenant insurance, security enhancements, or facility automation aimed at this niche.
