SOAP Media aided Northern Mini Storage to:

  • Increase Conversions by 128%
  • Increase Traffic by 44%
  • Reduced Conversion Costs by 32% 

Executive Summary

In addition to attracting more web traffic to Northern Mini Storage’s site, we wanted to develop a consistent and unified look and experience for consumers. Essentially, building a brand for the company.

Although they have nearly 40 years in the community, attracting online traffic was a challenge. The owner of Northern Mini Storage understood that to increase traffic and improve conversions, they needed to find a marketing partner with the experience and knowledge. SOAP Media was able to free up our client’s time so they could focus more on doing what they do best. We took over the management of their SEO and PPC resources and built a website that was easy to navigate, had a consistent look with promotional content, and straightforward calls to action.

Our approach was to build a holistic strategy that joined together effective marketing techniques, including remarketing the company’s PPC ads and boosting their ranking on search engines. Through our efforts, website traffic increased, conversions improved, and they earned more interactions with potential customers.

Challenges and Objectives

Driving Digital Growth for Northern Mini Storage with AI-Powered Marketing

For nearly 40 years, Northern Mini Storage has built a solid reputation in Sudbury, Ontario, through its friendly staff and pristine facilities. Yet, as consumer behaviors shifted online, the company recognized the need to enhance its digital footprint to remain competitive. The goal? Increase website traffic by 40% and boost lead conversions by another 40%.

Facility owner Grant Menard initially took on the challenge of digital marketing solo, experimenting with ways to attract more visitors to the site. However, he soon realized that achieving scalable, measurable growth required specialized expertise in online marketing and advanced analytics.

That’s when SOAP Media stepped in, bringing a comprehensive, AI-enhanced strategy to the table.

Thanks to the collaboration, Northern Mini Storage saw dramatic improvements in site traffic, user engagement, and lead generation—validating the shift to a technology-driven marketing strategy. With SOAP Media handling the heavy lifting, Grant and his team could focus on delivering top-tier service while their digital presence worked for them around the clock.
