This website has been designed to cater for student storage businesses operating in the UK. Currently there are almost 2 million students studying in the UK and almost 350,000 of those are from overseas. This means that the supply and demand for student storage is increasing. Due to the economic struggle a lot of students are choosing to stay at University instead of entering the grim job market again increasing the need for storage.
The website advertises storage businesses and also gives people the chance to start their own storage businesses. It gives real examples of people who have used a unique model and reaped the rewards. This model has so many advantages, simply read through the examples and testimonials and it will become apparent that this model is the only way forward.
Recently Duncan Banatyne wrote a book called “43 Mistakes Businesses Make”.
In the book he talks about advertising online and mentions how important google is for people’s businesses and that “search” is becoming more and more important. Student storage is most popular around May when students finish exams and want to go home for the summer. Using google adwords the phrase “student storage” is typed into google 3000 times in the UK and this site being NO 1 for the search term, it receives 70% of that 3000. So in the month of May 2100 people go onto our site looking for a student storage service in their area.
This links back to Duncan Banatyne’s point that “search” and the way that people find you online is vitally important and crucial to the success of your business.
An example of search with regards to a student storage company is www.dundeestorage.com
Following search terms and the rank of the site on google.co.uk
Page 1, Position 1
Page 1, Position 4

Page 1, Position 2
This has happened due to good content being on the site and the fact that it is an exact match domain. Potential customers are typing in general search terms and because the domain is similar it ranks better on google. This is instrumental to Dundee Storage as the can be found online very easily by prospective clients.
Advertising is imperative to anyone’s business and it is something that no business can get enough of. There are many reasons to advertise your student storage business on studentstorage.co.uk
Please look through the pages of this website and if you are interested or have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. The one point to think about is that starting a student storage business is not full time and requires a hard three weeks work in May picking everything up and an equally hard three weeks work returning everything in September. The profits can be very lucrative if you maintain your costs to a minimum and the business can be shared with another person and carried out whilst working a full time job.
