Louisiana Self Storage Association's 2010 Spring Regional

Conference a GREAT SUCCESS!


On April 22, 2010, your Louisiana Self Storage Association had its Spring Regional Conference in Bossier City, LA. and it was a great success, with nearly twice as many participants as last year’s conference! Guest speakers Cliff Bland, from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, gave a chilling presentation on how self- storage has unfortunately been used in past terrorism plots/acts in our country, and Paul Darden, an owner/manager/broker from Dallas, TX, gave an informative presentation on what marketing techniques are being used in larger markets to gain and retain customers.  There was lots of good food, good information, and great networking between members and guests alike. Besides offering the opportunity to gain new insight into all things self-storage from talented speakers, these conferences allow members and guests from all over the great state of Louisiana to come together and discuss everything from their policies & procedures, rental rate structures, lien sale procedure questions and even their most bizarre customer experiences. We highly recommend owners send their managers to these informative meetings as part of their continuing education and training. The information given by the FBI’s Mr. Bland in preventing terrorists from using your storage facility as a staging ground for terrorism attacks was worth the low price of admission alone.
