The spotlight will be placed on local businesses and organizations to promote products, services and events. The exposure will entice people to visit and support these hardworking folks in the valley. The program makes it easy to book a trip to the region, with recommendations and insights from local resident bloggers.”

Why EHCMG?

Because we know, first hand, the challenges facing the tourism industry and the economic challenges of small communities in Canada. Recently, our team completed a 10+ year study researching tourism and the economic development needs of small towns in Canada from coast-to-coast-to-coast. It was a boots-on-the-ground research expedition exploring all regions of the country. We researched over 1000+ communities, 4700+ parks and historic sites, and more. We listened and learned to the locals. They told us that time, staff, skills and funding are the greatest challenges facing small towns and rural regions when implementing tourism and economic development programs, let alone maintaining them. So we focused on solutions for small towns, not excuses.

The team at EH Canada Marketing Group work with communities, regions, locals, small businesses, volunteers, groups, clubs and non profits through every stage of development and training of their programs. EHCMG operates best in the trenches, on the front lines with your community, and not from a corporate office in some ivory tower. While the tourism industry focuses on elaborate tradeshows, corporate entities and urban centres, we specialize in small town needs through analysis, development and implementation. Work with us because we talk small town producing global results.

Marketing for Tomorrow Today

The Canada tourism marketing industry, technology, traveller habits and your community are always changing. Covid, supply chains, travel restrictions, world events, natural disasters have reminded us how fragile our small towns really are.  Because the world is changing fast, it is even more important that small communities are proactive, taking responsibility for their own future therefore avoiding being reactive, and playing catch up all the time… because playing catch up is very expensive.

“Change is exciting when communities market in real time, and engage with their audience,” Greg Girard – EHCMG

EHCMG provides customized authentic marketing programs online, in print and on the ground.  Their focus is on small town needs, visitor wants, and small businesses so your region may compete at an urban level. They create authentic and customizable Canada community marketing programs, strategies, platforms and training programs tailored to your needs. The team at EHCMG will provide the expertise and knowledge to grow your small town community forward using the tools of tomorrow for your needs of today.

The “Experience Community Program” levels the tourism marketing and promotion playing field between small and urban centres.
