Born and raised in the Okanagan, the team behind Odd Job built their business on something simple: showing up, working hard, and helping people tackle the jobs they don’t have the time, equipment, or manpower to handle themselves.

The return of the 2026 Memorial Cup is set to bring excitement, celebration and a major economic boost to Kelowna as the city prepares to host the prestigious championship tournament for the first time in more than 20 years. From May 21–31, 2026, hockey fans from across Canada will gather at Prospera Place to watch the nation’s top junior hockey teams compete for one of the sport’s most iconic trophies.

Your sales team isn’t the problem your pipeline is. Too many businesses obsess over closing techniques, scripts, and follow-ups while ignoring the real issue: weak or misaligned marketing. If leads aren’t qualified, nurtured, or even the right fit to begin with, no amount of sales skill will consistently save the deal.The Real Disconnect? Marketing is supposed to warm the room. Sales is supposed to close it.

10,000 views. Zero sales. Is that good marketing? Not even close. The problem isn’t effort it’s measurement. Too many businesses are told their marketing is “working” based on numbers that look impressive but don’t actually grow revenue. Let’s break down what really matters.

If marketing “didn’t work,” it’s usually not because marketing failed—it’s because the approach did. That distinction matters. A lot of businesses walk away from marketing after a bad experience. Wasted budget. No clear results. Frustration. Completely valid. But when you look closer, there are usually three patterns behind it.

As temperatures rise and boating season approaches, Kelowna residents and visitors can once again access the Cook Road boat launch, which is now officially open following the completion of annual spring dredging work. Each year, sediment naturally builds up around the launch area, making dredging an essential part of maintaining safe and reliable access to Okanagan Lake. The recently completed work removed accumulated sand and sediment, ensuring the launch is fully operation

Cheap branding doesn’t save businesses money, it quietly drains revenue. Across industries, companies that rely on rushed logos, generic templates, and inconsistent messaging often find themselves working harder to convince customers they’re worth choosing. Premium branding, by contrast, doesn’t just look better; it sells better. It builds trust faster, shortens the sales cycle, and increases perceived value before a single conversation begins.

Your audience isn’t ignoring your ads, they’re actively avoiding them. That’s the uncomfortable truth most brands haven’t fully accepted yet. Billboards blur into the background. Email blasts go unopened. Social ads get skipped in under a second. Traditional marketing didn’t just become less effective it lost relevance in a world where attention is earned, not bought.

You’ve got about three seconds before someone decides if they’re interested or gone for good. That’s not just dating apps. That’s your website, your ads, your brand. And right now? A lot of businesses are getting left-swiped.

If you’re “just picking a number” for your marketing budget, you’re already behind. The right investment isn’t random it’s calculated. And while every business is different, there are clear benchmarks and strategies that remove the guesswork. Let’s make this simple.

We’re officially one sale away from 200 sales on Etsy, and this milestone means a lot. This shop started after years of helping friends, family, and small businesses build and grow their own online stores. After being part of 5,000+ sales behind the scenes, I finally decided it was time to build something of my own. Now, three years later, we’re at 199 Etsy sales with 70+ five-star reviews. Building a business is not always glamorous. It is late nights, learning as you go, sl

You don’t need more traffic. You’re already losing leads you paid for. The problem isn’t visibility. It’s what happens after someone clicks. And most of it can be fixed this week. Here’s how to fix it this week.

Why People Don’t Buy From You (Even If You’re Good at What You Do) by BoostBC It’s easy to assume that being good at what you do is enough to win customers. You improve your skills, deliver solid results, maybe even get a few happy clients and yet, the sales still don’t come consistently. The uncomfortable truth is this: people don’t buy based on your ability alone. They buy based on trust, clarity, and perception . First, there’s the trust gap. In most markets, especially on
