Case Study: The Mobile Locker Co. achieves 40% pre-launch bookings and streamlines event locker rentals with Shopify

The Mobile Locker Co. - Customer Case Study

The Mobile Locker Co., based in Boston, provides rentable, secure lockers for runners at races after its founder — a runner herself — spotted a gap: options were either secure or convenient, rarely both. Rather than selling products, the company offers online locker rentals (often with a 20% pre-booking discount) so runners can reserve secure storage in advance.

To launch, the founder contacted race organizers eight months ahead and was 40% booked by launch; races now drive most traffic through their websites and email campaigns, with Facebook bringing additional consumer traffic and Google producing B2B leads. Running on Shopify with a Facebook store app and no shipping needs, the team closes orders each Friday and imports them into event docs for smooth on-site fulfillment, delivering reliable pre-event bookings and predictable operations.
