Washington, DC - Zippy Shell USA, LLC announced today the launch of the ZippyU brand program; a student storage brand extension. ZippyU Student Storage provides convenient and affordable storage by the box, perfect for any college student. This spring, participating Zippy Shell locations will offer the ZippyU program and provide storage services to over 50 colleges and universities across the nation.

Each package includes concierge service with free in room pick up and re-delivery, packing materials, and four months of storage from May to August, with the option to extend storage packages to accommodate for study abroad.

“We’re excited to launch an affordable storage solution for college students. Students are one of the fastest growing segments of the self storage market. Zippy Shell management believes the brand will become a comprehensive storage and moving solution for all ages,” noted Alex Stevens ZippyU project manager.

To kick off the launch of the Zippy U® program Zippy Shell USA released a brand new commercial debuting the 2014 “Zippy U Pickup Lines” campaign. The campaign is built around six innuendo inspired storage related pickup lines to appeal to students.

Rick Del Sontro, President of Zippy Shell USA noted “The ZippyU Brand is allowing us to make storage not only convenient and very affordable but also fun for college students. The team has done a great job of creating awareness for the service through campus events, social media, a fun commercial and a new website. With the ZippyU program, we are addressing an expanding demographic of storage users.”
