Find Self Storage Auctions, the first large scale national self storage auction listing directory, is now entirely Free of charge to operators in all 50 States.

Phoenix, AZ February 17, 2012 - Find Self Storage Auctions, the first large scale national self storage auction listing directoryis now entirely Free of charge to operators in all 50 States.

Find Self Storage Auctions is a comprehensive directory of Self Storage Auction Listings. Developed by industry leaders more than 3 years ago and the first to be deployed, operators in states like Arizona are realizing more than 100,000 unique storage lien auction searches every week, amounting up to 5,000,000 publicly viewed auctions per year. Recent increases in popularity of Storage Lien Auctions is due in part to Reality TV. This particular nationwide directory provides the general public direct access to Storage Lien Auction listings in an easy to find, easy to search, format with listings added, edited, and controlled entirely by operators.

As a highly visible, free advertising method, more and more operators are making use of online auction resources as their primary means of advertising. The public is turning to online resources naturally, and online listings are highly successful. With changing lien laws in all 50 states geared toward notification modernization, resources like FindSelfStorageAuctions.com can be used to satisfy lien law advertising requirements. According to James Appleton, Cofounder of FindSelfStorageAuctions, "The proof of our model's success is 3 years running now. We were the first to market with this nationwide platform. For the first time in many operators' careers, they are telling us that the foot traffic that FindSelfStorageAuctions.com is bringing to their facility is not only increasing the overall auction dollar amounts, but allowing them to break even on delinquent units and even cut equity checks back to the tenants." It's a common misonception that Self Storage Lien Sales are a profit center for operators. "That couldn't be further from the truth," says Appleton. "Operators can make only what they are owed in back rent and the remainder, in most cases, is returned as equity to the previous owner or surrendered to the state and put towards education. This has made such a positive impact on the industry, and we believe that the only real way to prove to thos in the industry still skepticle about whether it is in their best interest is to offer it entirely free." Appleton says that, with the traffic levels where they are now and with the anticipated growth, they intend to seek advertising partnerships to fund the site from here forward.

With one of the largest expenses in the lien process being advertising, this unique approach affords operators the ability to cut costs while increasing revenue. In an industry notably slower in adopting new forms of media and advertising, the ability to access powerful tools for free is usually unheard of. Appleton comments, "Storage Auctions are a necessary part of the process and something that both operator, buyer, and owner are sensitive about. There isn't room for error and too many people are rushing into the auction listing website race with zero practical experience on the ground and that's not in the industry's best interests."

FindSelfStorageAuctions.com was created in 2009 by Richard Marmor, member of the board of directors of the Arizona Self Storage Association and noted self-storage lien law author, and James Appleton, member of the board of directors of the Arizona Self Storage Association as its Technology & Communications Chair, and technical expert in self storage and small business website design/development & search engine optimization (SEO) with Barking Tuna Web Design.

Find Self-Storage Auctions: Making Self-Storage Auctions Work for You!

FindSelfStorageAuctions.com is a free Self-Storage Auction listing directory, which standardizes self-storage auction listings and centralizes the information for the public to search for and find upcoming auctions in their local market.

Nationwide May 9, 2011 - Of all the daily processes self-storage owners & operators go through, none is more dreaded than the Storage Lien Auction. A disproportionate amount of time has always been spent on collections and Lien Auctions; more so these days it seems. To many of the general public, the self-storage Lien auction is a mysterious phenomenon that is often mistaken as a source of revenue; in some ways compounded by recent reality shows. Many don't consider the steps the law requires to take back our property, nor do they consider the accrued back rent associated with the unit in the auction. To others, it's the opportunity of a lifetime.

Storage Auctions are about abiding by the laws in place to protect the interests of the consumer and the self-storage facility. They're about protecting your rights to do business; business with those who will pay. They're about getting your property back. Our goal as operators is to break even after an auction.

Odds are you'd do anything to increase your odds of breaking even, especially if it cost next to nothing, right? The developers of selfstorageauctionsaz.com have developed and launched a web-based directory (http://www.findselfstorageauctions.com ) that is given FREE to all self-storage associations, is FREE to search by the public, and is only $10 per listing for facilities in states whose association has taken advantage of this great offer.

Generally speaking, when people find themselves in a more stable economic situation, they become a motivated buyer, and they'll be looking to find specific items. The competition for attracting buyers is higher than ever. So, how do you do it? First off, you must follow your state’s lien law notification requirements. If you’re lucky enough to be in a progressive state, chances are that online advertising is now an acceptable form of notification. Even if it isn’t, the cost is so low that it makes sense to make use of this resource as a solid secondary advertising method. The mere act of listing on a website isn’t going to bring buyers; it needs to be on a website that is designed and marketing exclusively to this industry, for this purpose. You must understand that buyers have shifted the way they consume, and so must you. It's now second nature to search the web first for almost anything.

FindSelfStorageAuctions.com is a listing driven resource. It’s only as good as those posting auctions let it be. Operators provide the content directly by creating an account and listing itemized auctions, putting an emphasis on things of interest. FindSelfStorageAuctions.com produces a searchable online directory from you descriptions that is FREE to the public, and a more thorough listing can stand out from the crowd. Visitors will search by Date, City, Facility Name, Auctioneer, and Number of Units as well as specific items. Visitors can type “car” into the search bar and the results will display all auctions that have a car listed. If it’s not included it in your listing, the public won't know about it. Think like a buyer. Include interesting items in your listing. Odds are that new buyers will attend the auctions that have what they are looking for.

Between the original website and the newly released http://www.findselfstorageauctions.com , there have been over 95,000 visitors and 630,000 pageviews (individual auction listings) in just 14 months. How often is your print Ad being viewed? Users of the website have noticed an increase in auction attendance and sale prices. Can you think of any other advertising tool that can provide that level of exposure, at that price?

Whether a member of a partner state or not, any self-storage facility may list auctions. If your state is not a partner, mention it to your association and tell them that you want it as a benefit. There’s no limit to the number of auctions you can list. Watch your auction attendance dramatically increase. An informed buyer is a serious buyer, your competition knows it, and is attracting those buyers by taking advantage of this website. Are you?

FindSelfStorageAuctions.com is a free resource designed to inform and educate the public on the location, time, date, and contents of local self-storage auctions in all 50 states. Contact James Appleton at 602-266-5662 or james@findselfstorageauctions.com for more information and help in getting your state up and running as a partner.

The Tennessee Self Storage Association (TNSSA) has become the first state association to partner with FindSelfStorageAuctions.com, a free public service that assists people in finding self-storage auctions nationwide.

By joining with this online auction directory, TNSSA has provided its member self-storage operators another way to publicize their lien sales.

“Our board immediately saw the value of this partnership and the benefits it would bring to our members,” said TNSSA President Dee Wiseman Sharp. “ FindSelfStorageAuctions provides our owners an additional, and very affordable, venue to advertise their lien sales. This partnership will allow TNSSA to be the ‘official’ source of auction listings in Tennessee.”

Free to public search, the website generally assesses a charge to self-storage operators for posting auction listings. While any self-storage operator in Tennessee can list his auctions on the website, TNSSA members will receive a substantial discount, Sharp said.

The website was launched in 2009 by Richard Marmor and James Appleton, both executive members of the Arizona Self Storage Association. It allows users to search for self-storage auctions based on parameters such as date/time, state, city, ZIP code, facility name, number of units being auctioned, unit contents and even auctioneer.

Find Self Storage Auctions is a comprehensive directory of Self Storage Auction Listings offered free to the public to search. Use it to find Storage Lien Auctions in your city and across the country. They are owned and operated by people in the self storage business who have spent the last 3 years building and perfecting this concept.

Phoenix, AZ, February 25, 2011 -- An affordable and highly visible advertising method for operators to satisfy lien law advertising requirements, Find Self Storage Auctions is a next generation dynamic online Self Storage Auction listing directory developed by Self Storage industry insiders; meant to be used a la carte, or as a tool for self storage associations to offer as a benefit to members.

State level self storage associations share a common cause in that they are comprised of volunteer board members that devote their spare time to thinking outside the box, ignorant of budgetary constraints that perpetually plague progress. Its with that in mind that they've found a way to offer this to state associations at no cost.

The process of taking a self storage unit to auction requires a tremendous amount of time and financial resources, and almost never results in the recovery of the facility’s investment in either. The auction process is cumbersome enough without advertising limitations. In an information driven world, the key to the Self Storage Auction process is in helping the public find accurate listings.

Lien law modernization is sweeping through state associations, subsidized in part by the national Self Storage Association via a legislative matching funds initiative. With lien law changes comes an opportunity to modernize the entire listing process, and expand upon the boundless value the internet provides. Complimented by a well designed, search engine friendly dynamic database, facilities using FindSelfStorageAuctions.com have the opportunity to maximize their exposure, beyond a typical print classified.

Furthermore, in compliment to the recent increase in public interest, likely due in part to the popularity of the recent storage auction reality shows, we provide resources to maximize search parameters in an effort to reach as many auction attendees as possible who have the ability to search by State, City, Facility, # of Units, Contents of Units, and even Auctioneer.

FindSelfStorageAuctions.com was created in 2009 by Richard Marmor, member of the board of directors of the Arizona Self Storage Association and noted self-storage lien law author, and James Appleton, Technology & Communications Chair of the Arizona Association, and technical expert in website design & development and search engine optimization (SEO).
