## BIG PICTURE: 24 DAYS TO LAUNCH

April 30 is the go-live date for Surfbox's social media program. Here's the full execution plan.

## COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE (Quick Scan)

**What UNITS is saying about Surfbox right now:**
UNITS Central NJ literally has a "Compare SurfBox Storage" page on their website. Their pitch: flexible pricing, no hidden fees. They're actively targeting Surfbox customers.

**PODS pricing (national benchmark):**
- Small container: ~$150/month storage
- 16' container: ~$250/month
- Delivery/pickup fees: $75–$100 each

**Surfbox's advantages to lean into:**
1. **Climate-controlled** — not all competitors offer this
2. **Local, Shore-based** — not a national call center
3. **No hidden fees** claim (use it)
4. **NJ + NC locations** — unique geographic footprint

### Pillar 3: "Contractor's Best Friend" — TLC Cross-Sell
*Target: Ocean County contractors who buy from TLC*

- Visual: Container on a job site next to building materials

### Pillar 4: "Climate Controlled = Care" — Premium Differentiation

### Pillar 5: "Behind the Box" — Human Story
