Who is KDİD?
Kişisel Depolama İşletmecileri Derneği (KDİD, the Self Storage Operators Association) is a non-profit industry association founded in Istanbul in 2025 by 15 businesses. It represents companies offering personal and business self storage in Türkiye, and works to have self storage recognised as its own service category, set common service and safety standards, and inform consumers.

Highlights
Logo: three speech bubbles
We also designed KDİD's logo. Three speech bubbles in orange, blue and yellow express the association's role as a common voice and the coming together of different businesses; the squares also recall storage units lined up side by side. The same grid is used in the site's hero visual.
One site, two audiences
The association talks to two groups: operators who will join and consumers looking for storage. The home page splits them on the first screen — "Find a Member Facility" takes consumers to KDİD members by province and district, "Join the Association" takes operators to the application.
Paperless membership application
The application is a four-step form: business, facility, documents, confirmation. Trade registry record, tax certificate, operating licence, fire safety documents and a sample rental contract are uploaded directly, and an unfinished application can be saved as a draft.
Content that informs consumers
Self storage is new to many people, so there are many questions. Insurance, items that cannot be stored, myths and choosing a provider each have their own guide page, with a separate channel for complaints and suggestions.
