Gain an Edge in Your Self-Storage Marketing With Paid Online Advertising

In today’s digital landscape, self-storage operators are constantly seeking effective ways to boost their online presence and attract more customers. Two primary strategies have emerged as frontrunners in this endeavor: search engine optimization (SEO) and paid online advertising. While both have their merits, this article delves into distinct advantages of the latter. Learn how you can use paid online ads to gain a competitive edge.

1. Immediate Results

One undeniable benefit of paid online advertising is its ability to deliver immediate results. Campaigns such as pay-per-click enable you to place your self-storage content in front of a target audience instantaneously. In contrast, SEO can take weeks or even months to yield noticeable outcomes.

2. Precise Audience Targeting

Paid online advertising offers unparalleled precision when it comes to audience targeting. You can fine-tune your campaigns to reach specific demographics, geographic regions, interests and more. This level of control ensures that your self-storage marketing efforts are directed at the most relevant and likely-to-convert prospects.

3. Scalability

Paid online advertising allows you to scale your marketing efforts quickly. Whether you’re looking to increase your budget, expand your campaign reach, or launch new products or services, it accommodates these changes with ease. SEO, on the other hand, requires continuous and often gradual optimization to see similar scalability.

4. Guaranteed Visibility

In a world where competition for online visibility is fierce, paid online advertising guarantees that your self-storage content is seen by your target audience. With SEO, your ranking on search engine results pages can fluctuate, leaving your visibility uncertain. Paid advertising provides a safety net, ensuring your message reaches potential customers.

5. Measurable Return on Investment (ROI)

Paid online advertising provides robust tools for measuring ROI. You can track key metrics like click-through and conversion rates, and cost per acquisition with precision. This data-driven

The company expects revenue to continue to grow as consumer awareness of the platform increases and as it expands the number of brands in its marketing portfolio. Moreover, the company’s strategy is to complement this anticipated organic growth with strategic M&A, including the potential purchase of and / or investments in marketing clients that might benefit from becoming a majority-owned LQR subsidiary.

To become what the company calls the “digital face of the alcohol space,” LQR is developing the infrastructure to offer a one-stop-shop of service and solutions to help alcohol and spirits brands grow and to make CWSpirits.com a leading platform for consumer engagement and purchases in the competitive alcohol industry.

Free business financial fundamentals class to be held online

BAR HARBOR — A free online one-hour class aims to focus on financial fundamentals and give participants a tool that shows how to achieve profitability in a few clicks without complex math or troublesome spreadsheets.

Four Steps to Unlocking Profits in 2024, presented by College of the Atlantic in collaboration with Profit Decoder, is focused on helping small businesses thrive. The class is set for 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 9. To register, visit profitdecoder.com.

The class is part of Profit Decoder’s Cultivating Community series, which gives entrepreneurs the tools and skills to succeed. COA and Profit Decoder want to give small business owners the knowledge and skills to understand their financials and counter the number one reason for small business failure — a lack of financial engagement.

“Small businesses from bakers to graphic designers make up the backbone of our communities, and without these local enterprises, our communities would cease to exist as they are,” said Profit Decoder cofounder Jordan Motzkin, a 2010 graduate of COA, according to a news release from Rob Levin, COA director of communications. “Impacting each of these small businesses has a positive multiplier effect, including hiring employees, keeping Main Street active and improving rural community wellbeing.”

The impact of these small businesses is immense, according to the Small Business Administration. In 2019, the SBA reports, small businesses accounted for two-thirds of net new jobs and 44% of economic activity. This is economic activity that stays in the local community, according to the American Independent Business Alliance, which says that local businesses generate four times the impact of chain stores. Every dollar spent in these businesses generates an additional $1.43 in local spending, creating jobs and strengthening community infrastructure, the AIBA reports.

But being a small business is tough work. A study from the University

The Best (and Cheapest) Online Business Cards Printers

You’ve just hit it off with a potential client who fits perfectly into your target audience.

Whether it’s at a conference, in line at Starbucks, or during a post-gym session stretching session, you’ve struck up a rapport, and you want to close the deal on that hot new lead.

The only thing is, you still haven’t got around to getting professional business cards printed.

You scramble for a pen, write your contact details on a piece of paper (or worse, the back of their Chai Latte to-go cup), and pray they get back to you.

Not only is this approach much less likely to close a new client, but it also shows a potential lack of professionalism, which may be off-putting for potential clients who know nothing about your services.

This is exactly the case for why early-stage startups and entrepreneurs need business cards (I’m sure Jeff Bezos doesn’t need to worry about business cards).

But where to go for the best deals? Here, we will discuss the top five places you can go to get a great deal on high-quality business cards.

Ontario bans use of pro athletes to advertise, market online sports betting

Ontario announced Tuesday that the province will ban the use of athletes in advertising for online gambling, while also strengthening standards to restrict the use of celebrities who the government says might appeal to minors. 

But advocates, the Opposition NDP and a Canadian senator who has called for stricter regulations in the sector say that while the ban is welcome, it doesn’t go far enough to protect those who are most vulnerable to gambling addictions. 

Advocates and academics have raised concerns about the inundation of sports betting advertising seen in the province since Ontario opened up to independent online gambling sites last year, and decried the impact those advertisements could have on the health of young people.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) announced Tuesday it updated the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming to prohibit the use of athletes and said new restrictions will come into effect Feb. 28, 2024.

Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and current NHL stars Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews are among the athletes who have appeared in ads for gambling sites.

“Children and youth are heavily influenced by the athletes and celebrities they look up to,” Tom Mungham, the AGCO’s registrar and CEO, said in a statement. “We’re therefore increasing measures to protect Ontario’s youth by disallowing the use of these influential figures to promote online betting in Ontario.”

Change comes after consultations with public, experts

In April, the AGCO held consultations on its proposal for the ban and received submissions from a host of stakeholders, including mental-health organizations, gambling experts, gaming operations and the public.

In its report Tuesday, the AGCO said its proposal “comes after significant criticism from advocates, experts and parents about the notable rise of online gambling advertisements, especially during live sports.

“For example, during a 2023 playoff series game
