Bargain Storage

Refining the Bargain Storage Brand

Bargain Storage had built a strong reputation in the Pacific Northwest, but with plans to aggressively expand across the West, they needed a more refined, scalable brand strategy. Watson stepped in at a crucial moment—just as they were pushing all their chips in on growth. Through our longstanding relationship with the owners, forged through Portland’s Entrepreneurial Organization (EO), we understood their vision and the challenges ahead. We refined their existing brand, developed marketing strategies for new facilities, and built a digital platform capable of supporting rapid expansion.

A Digital Infrastructure for Multi-Location Success

A key part of our work was developing a website that could handle the complexity of multiple locations while keeping the customer experience seamless. The platform was designed to allow easy online bookings, self-service account management, and an intuitive rental process. Whether a customer was securing a unit in Portland, Phoenix, or another expansion market, the experience remained consistent—reinforcing trust in the Bargain Storage name.

Strategic Lease-Up and Community Engagement

Lease-up strategies played a vital role in their expansion. We crafted localized marketing efforts that appealed to each community, ensuring new facilities gained traction quickly. We also helped develop on-site branding, signage, and collateral that reinforced a professional yet cost-conscious image, resonating with both individual renters and small businesses in need of storage solutions.
