When it comes to owning a business, one of the most important things to focus on is getting your name out there. Several forms of advertising such as signs, static billboards, and printed ads are very common. Unfortunately, these mediums haven’t always proved to be the most efficient for advertising. The U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network provides independent self-storage owners with tools to grow their business through a storage network.  Affiliates that are already part of the program can give their self-storage facility greater visibility with a mobile billboard through the Storage Affiliate Advertising Van (SAAV)—a medium that offers you big benefits for a small price!
