The Connect Kelowna website was established to encourage Kelowna and surrounding area businesses to advertise their products and services to local consumers.

Showcase your business on this online advertising directory, which gives you the option of uploading basic company information for free (no strings attached) or of advertising at a very reasonable monthly fee to everyone in your service area.

Connect Kelowna encourages businesses in and around Kelowna, British Columbia, to advertise to prospective customers on our online directory called Local Business Portal.

Connecting Customers

Our Local Business Portal makes it easy for consumers to find businesses that match their needs for certain products or services in their location. Our directory is highly visual and our categories are divided into subcategories which make it easy for you to find specific types of businesses. Once into your choice of subcategory, just enter the location you want and any current subscriber in that subcategory showing that location as part of their service area will appear.

THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNET ADVERTISING

In today's world, technology plays such a huge part that it's crucial for businesses, both big and small, to have a variety of types of internet presence. Having a website can be a good tool if it has been properly designed, but additional exposure may be needed as well.

But the cost for online advertising can be daunting for a small business. Although Local Business Portal offers exceptionally low pricing for its online business directory, it is amazing how much people are expected to pay for the different types of advertising available on the internet.

  • Online Business Directories - average monthly costs to advertise on such online venues can be up to $200 a month or more.
  • Pay-Per-Click Advertising - Google Ads are an effective tool but can be quite costly. Some businesses pay well over $2,000 a month.
  • Social Media Marketing - great for brand awareness when people find your listing, but ads on Social Media platforms can cost up to between $1,000 to $3,000 a month to be effective.
  • Email Marketing - email marketing is a good way to let people know that you are there, but in Canada, privacy rules restrict to whom you can send email.
Connect Kelowna facilitates business advertising in Kelowna and surrounding locations.
Advertise your business on our Local Business Portal for a verylow monthly cost.

Our setup is very different than other online directories. Connect Kelowna is linked to www.localbusinessportal.ca, where advertisers can upload their business information. We offer two types of subscriptions on our directory:

  • A free basic option where subscribers show contact information and details of their business
  • A low cost Premium option where you can upload your logo and 4 other images, as well as choose every city within your service area from our database of over 8,000 cities and towns in Canada.

Affordable Web Design Ltd developers have relied on their knowledge of SEO best practices to create separate websites in many different locations to give even more exposure to local businesses when trying to attract local consumers. We have integrated "all the right stuff" to help our Connect Kelowna website be found by Kelowna area consumers as well as potential customers in surrounding locations.
