B.C. Tech Company Takes Shop Local Coast-to-Coast Robert Lewis
It all started in 2013 with an idea to help golf courses market to players in the Kelowna area. A simple WordPress website was launched along with a text message platform that pinged local golfers with special offers and notifications of available tee times.
GetintheLoop was in business.
Matt Crowell, founder and CEO of GetintheLoop, realized early on that he had something with potential far beyond the golf courses of Kelowna. He had developed a technology solution that could help other small businesses connect with local consumers. His mission crystalized; establish a business model that was different from the daily deal sites we'd become accustomed to in the early 2010's by building an engaging platform for local consumers and keeping things simple and sustainable for small business owners.
“In those early days we learned that small business owners really needed a lot of support with digital and mobile marketing solutions to reach local consumers," recalls Crowell. “We designed the GetintheLoop platform to be an easy to use multi-channel marketing engine to help drive foot traffic through the door and deliver results."
