New manager, Marketing help

Hello and congrats on the promotion! You could try going to other businesses and dropping off coozies, pens, & business cards you guys have. Anything with your business name and number on it. You could create an online flyer to email the apartment complex managers, schools, realtors, etc. in your area. If they will let you do promotions, take the units you have the most of and offer deals on them, such as pay 3 months, get 3 months free then regular rate applies. I am in Texas as well, Alvin area...may I ask what area you are in?

All forms of online free marketing should be used, especially if the prior manager was not doing any. Facebook groups, craigslist, make sure your google listing is claimed and updated with proper pictures etc.. Go around and introduce yourself to the local businesses and try to build relationships to refer business, even other storage facilities. If you're part of a bigger company and not a one off ownership they SHOULD already have a marketing department handling your website and general online advertising so the grassroots is where you would need to focus. If you have a refer-a-friend program make sure every customer you talk to knows about it, and if you don't have one make it a suggestion.
