A VERY FRAGMENTED
INDUSTRY = OPPORTUNITY

companies have only 9%
market share.

less than 15% market share

Zippy Shell Benefits
•
Lower capital requirements: Storage containers can amount to over 80% of
the capital investment in a mobile self storage business. Zippy Shell Storage
Containers can be up to 50% less than traditional operators. Better
Margins/Faster to Profitability/Price more cost effectively
•
A cost effective delivery system: The Zippy Shell trailer can be towed by a
standard truck (i.e. an F150). This keeps costs very low, and no specialized
training or licenses are required for Hydraulic lift equipment. As a registered
vehicle, Zippy Shells can be parked in the street (verse alternate storage
container containers that are left on the road and are not registered and
attract fines from the local parking authorities). Simplicity is the key!
•
Great Branding/Advertising Opportunities: Whether you are using the Zippy
Shell to promote your brand or the brand of a partner, you have an incredible
and distinct marketing tool. This attention-getter can drive you customers
much more effectively than a container with your name on it.
