“i-Store’s marketing activity focuses on customers living in condominiums located in the city, online merchants, and offices. The strategy is not to win the sales volume in the market, but it aims to help the city people with more living spaces within the residential areas. The locations of the storage rooms are very easy to commute with the nearby BTS. They are facilitated with quality facilitation, 24-hour secured environment, fire prevention system, keycard for entering-leaving the building and for scanning into the elevator to one’s own floor only, lighting control system, and ventilators and lighting censoring. The customers can access to their belongings any time throughout 24 hours and every day with one keycard,” said Mr. Pakdee.
