Here’s how you can put QR codes to work in your storage business.

Why QR Codes Are Handy in Storage

• Affordable: No expensive kiosks or new systems needed.

5 Easy Ways to Use QR Codes

1. Contactless Move-Ins
   Put a QR code on your office door or front gate. New customers can scan, rent a unit online, sign the lease, and move in – even after hours.
2. Guest Wi-Fi
   Make connecting simple. Place a QR code in your office or common areas that lets visitors connect to guest Wi-Fi without typing a password.
3. On-Site Help
   Place “Help” QR codes around your property. A scan could open a how-to video, FAQs, or even launch a support chat. It’s like having a 24/7 virtual manager.
4. Add-Ons & Services
   Boost revenue by upselling extras. Put QR codes inside units or hallways that link to services like insurance, movers, or packing supplies.
5. Marketing & Reviews
   Use QR codes to gather Google reviews (“Love our service? Scan here!”) or add them to posters and flyers to drive people to your website.
