Featured Listings on USstoragesearch.com Show Immediate Success

Omaha, NE, Sep 01, 2010 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- The first USstoragesearch.com members to take advantage of USstoragesearch.com "Featured Listings" program have experienced immediate success with the increased visibility for their storage facilities (http://www.usstoragesearch.com/). During the first month, the "Featured Listing" program produced more than $3,000, on average, in new rental revenue each and every day for the participating members. Annualized this equates to more than $1,200,000 in new rental revenues from the "Featured Listing" program for USstoragesearch.com members. Mike Jones, Vice President of Client Relations for USstoragesearch.com, said that "leads are nice but we produce reservations secured by deposits for our members, leading to a rental conversion rate well in excess of 90%. The rentals USstoragesearch.com provides are why our members choose USstoragesearch.com as their online marketing partner." Nick Bilava, USstoragesearch.com's Director of Sales and Marketing, pointed out that the benefits for the participating facilities went far beyond the new rental revenue. Bilava stated that "the members who won Featured Listings not only saw new leads, traffic and rental revenue but also increased the 'brand equity' in their facility that every facility owner strives to build." Bilava went on to say that "for the last month each of the Featured Listing properties has been in the spotlight for every search in their competitive market. Our members are very savvy when it comes to online marketing and realize the value of advertising goes well beyond just direct dollars and cents".

Featured Listings for the months of August and September were obtained through an online auction process that occurred in July. The Featured Listing auction was open to all USstoragesearch.com members. Jones said that "there was broad participation in the first auction from both self storage (http://www.usstoragesearch.com/) and mobile storage (http://www.usstoragesearch.com/)members." The Featured Listings will continue to be made available to all USstoragesearch.com members, through the online auction process on a quarterly basis. The next Featured Listing auction for USstoragesearch.com members starts on September 1st for Featured Listings that will be displayed throughout the 4th Quarter of 2010.

Michael Kucera, President of USstoragesearch.com, touted the fairness and openness of the auction process for all members. Kucera said "we conducted extensive research before launching the Featured Listing program. That research showed that our members overwhelmingly wanted a way to 'spotlight' or 'showcase' facilities but they also wanted control over what they pay for this option and the smaller operators wanted equal footing with larger operators." Kucera shared that "our idea for the auction process isn't new in the online world by any means but is a new concept in the storage (http://www.usstoragesearch.com/) industry and it gave our members exactly what they asked for - fair access to Featured Listings and the ability to decide what a Featured Listing is worth to them."
