What is lead generation?
Lead generation is the process of attracting potential customers and converting their interest into contact information or a sales conversation. For most Canadian businesses this means paid advertising, search visibility and landing pages that turn visitors into enquiries, followed by fast, tracked follow-up.
Typical outcomes
Verified figures and local facts we use to plan campaigns in Thunder Bay, ON.
Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (City of Thunder Bay (census subdivision)). Census Profile
Thunder Bay counted 108,843 residents in the 2021 Census, up just 0.9% from 107,909 in 2016. The median age is 44.0 and the median household income in 2020 was $77,500, so the customer base is older, stable and not expanding on its own.
The city's 48,405 occupied dwellings are spread over 327.77 square kilometres, and the economy rests on the regional hospital, Lakehead University and a large mining supply sector. Local businesses win by holding loyal customers and serving the wider Northwestern Ontario region.
With only 0.9% growth since 2016, Thunder Bay lead generation depends on repeat business and referrals, plus reaching the regional customers who travel in from across Northwestern Ontario.
