Lead Generation is central to every successful property marketing strategy, but generating high‑quality enquiries for a niche asset such as open storage land requires a level of precision that many campaigns fail to achieve. When Peloton Real Estate and First‑Land approached Notch Digital to support the launch of a challenging open storage site in Nottinghamshire, the objective was clear: build awareness, reach the right operators and deliver a consistent pipeline of qualified leads for a specialist industrial asset.
First‑Land, a joint venture between Moorfield Group and Peloton Real Estate, develops high‑quality open storage sites across the UK, providing strategically located land for logistics, manufacturing, supply chains and infrastructure‑related operations. Their portfolio exceeds 60 acres of open storage land, designed to meet rising demand for better‑specified, secure and well‑connected outdoor industrial space.
Despite the strength of the Nottinghamshire site, the challenge was visibility. Open storage is a specialist asset class, and the target audience—logistics operators, fleet managers, construction suppliers and industrial occupiers, does not typically respond to broad property advertising. The campaign required a META‑first strategy built around accuracy, relevance and commercial intent.
Understanding the Asset and the Audience
Before launching any activity, Notch Digital carried out a detailed discovery process to understand:
- The site’s operational strengths
- Local and regional demand drivers
- The decision‑making criteria of open‑storage occupiers
- The commercial requirements of Peloton and First‑Land
Insights from industry research show that open storage is a rapidly expanding industrial sub‑sector, with rising occupier demand for higher‑quality, well‑specified sites in strategic locations. This context shaped the campaign’s targeting and messaging approach.
A META‑Led Lead Generation Strategy
The campaign was built entirely around META’s advertising ecosystem, using its advanced targeting, creative formats and optimisation tools to reach high‑intent commercial audiences.
1. Precision Demographic and Interest Targeting
Using META’s audience tools, Notch Digital built segmented targeting groups based on:
- Industrial and logistics job roles
- Fleet and transport operations
- Construction and plant‑hire interests
- Commercial property decision‑makers
- Regional business audiences within the catchment area
This demographic‑led approach ensured ads reached people with genuine operational need for open storage land—mirroring META’s own guidance that demographic and behavioural signals are key to property‑related lead generation.
2. Creative Built for Industrial Decision‑Makers
The creative strategy focused on operational clarity rather than generic property visuals. Ads highlighted:
- Acreage and layout
- Security and access
- Suitable uses (HGV parking, plant storage, materials, EV hubs, container storage)
- Proximity to major road networks
- Immediate availability
This aligned with First‑Land’s positioning as a provider of sophisticated, managed open‑storage solutions.
3. Conversion‑Optimised Lead Flow
A streamlined enquiry process captured:
- Business type
- Operational requirements
- Space needed
- Timescales
- Contact details
This ensured every lead was actionable and relevant.
4. Continuous META Optimisation
Daily optimisation allowed Notch Digital to:
- Shift budget to top‑performing audiences
- Test new creative angles
- Refine messaging based on engagement
- Reduce cost per lead while increasing quality
The Outcome: 350 Qualified Property Leads
The META‑driven campaign delivered 350 qualified property enquiries for the Nottinghamshire open storage site, an exceptional result for a niche industrial asset with a limited natural audience.
Leads included:
- Logistics and distribution operators
- Construction and infrastructure suppliers
- Fleet and vehicle‑storage companies
- Industrial occupiers seeking flexible outdoor space
This pipeline supported both immediate occupancy and long‑term asset performance for Peloton and First‑Land.
