			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We looked around quite a bit before selecting Jerry Portelli to take our photographs of our facilities. His ability to capture the important parts of architecture really makes your project stand out. I was really impressed with his level of professionalism and attention to details. I really like all of his other work that he has done with shots of people and specially the clowns.</p>
<p>Tell him his friends at STORE MORE! sent you.<img src="file:///Users/android356/Desktop/JPEmail72109.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div id="attachment_42" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 300px"><a href="http://www.storemoreselfstorage.com/blog/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/jpemail72109.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-42" title="jpemail72109" src="http://www.storemoreselfstorage.com/blog/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/jpemail72109.jpg" alt="THE STRAIGHT SHOT" width="290" height="614" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">THE STRAIGHT SHOT</p></div>
<p>Visit his website to see more at: www.jerryportelliphotography.com</p>
<p>Some of the important points about using a good photographer are:<br />
1.    First impressions count. The first view of<br />
your work that a potential client sees is often<br />
a photograph.<br />
2.     High end photography attracts high end clients.<br />
3.     When you’ve done top quality work, record<br />
it well to attract clients who want more of<br />
the same.<br />
4.     Professional photography is an important part<br />
of the marketing that helps a firm grow.<br />
5.     Seeing your work well presented in your<br />
portfolio or on your website will increase your<br />
confidence when meeting with potential clients.<br />
6.     You will never again have to say “It doesn’t<br />
photograph well but&#8230;”<br />
7.     This is the age of the website. When potential<br />
clients start their search with a review of<br />
websites, you want yours to stand out.<br />
8.     Clear, appealing images help clients articulate<br />
their needs. If they see a retaining wall that<br />
you’ve designed or built, they might want<br />
that wall.<br />
9.     If your portfolio consists of only blueprints and<br />
scale drawings, not all clients will be able to<br />
envision the actual projects they represent.<br />
10.     If clients see professional quality images of<br />
your work, they will be more likely to pay<br />
professional rates.</p>

<p align="left">At STORE MORE! we participate in the Crime Free Self-Storage Program which was designed to help renters, owners, and managers of self-storage properties keep drugs and other illegal activity off our property. This program is honest and direct. It is solution oriented. It is designed to be easy, yet very effective in reducing the incidents of crime on the properties. The program utilizes a unique three-part approach that ensures the crime prevention goal, while maintaining an approach, which is very customer friendly. Phase One involves a four-hour seminar presented by the police and fire departments. Phase Two will certify that the self-storage facility has met the security requirements of the Police Department. After full certification, the managers will be granted the use of large metal signs for display on the property.
