Custom Fit Online Nominated for Best Online Marketer BC
Custom Fit Online is honoured to have been nominated for the Small Business BC / Successful You "Best Online Marketer" award. The Tourism Pemberton "Win a Snowmobile Adventure of a Lifetime" promotion is one of our featured projects that resulted in this nomination.
The Small Business BC Successful You Awards (SYA) contest is a province-wide event that recognizes and celebrates the important contributions BC's entrepreneurs make to their local communities and global economy. The Awards are managed by Small Business BC (SBBC).
We decided to request a nomination based upon a promotion that we managed for Tourism Pemberton, one of our clients since 2005. And the nomination was based upon these results.

Positive Feedback from TP's Chairperson
Laura Arnold, Tourism Pemberton's chairperson, and Director of Sales & Marketing for the Pemberton Valley Lodge noted "The Tourism Pemberton 'WIN a Snowmobile Adventure of a Lifetime" contest was an unqualified success. We have seen the difference in business in the Valley not only last winter but this summer as well. Custom Fit Online took the ball and ran with it. They conceived the promotion and implemented it completely. We sincerely thank the Custom Fit Online team for going above and beyond the required effort to make this promotion as success."
And Tourism Pemberton were so happy with the promotion that they commissioned Custom Fit to run another promotion with yet another promotion pending.
