National Self Storage Inc. (NSS), which provides consulting and management services to the self-storage industry, is partnering with YellowBook, an online provider of Yellow Page directories.

Using YellowBook’s WebReach and Elite Level SEO services, the partnership will provide a comprehensive Internet marketing campaign including search-engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising, designed to drive leads to the company’s website and improve overall website performance.

Focusing on the 33 geographic NSS locations, the YellowBook program will incorporate relevant search terms and target prospective customers searching online within a 5-mile radius of each facility. The campaign has been structured to drive traffic for both NSS-branded and non-NSS-branded clients.

In addition to the partnership with the YellowBook, NSS has also joined the online self-storage directory www.storagefront.com. Tenants are able to make unit reservations at all NSS facilities through this site.

NSS has been reallocating marketing budgets to favor more modern marketing techniques. “We are redirecting these budgeted funds to increase the presence of our facilities on the Internet,” said President Robert Schoff..
