“Every business needs a website today but woefully few are capable of teaching their clients how to set one up. We have a person right here in The Blue Mountains who is capable of guiding us through the process with humour and kindness and does so at an affordable fee; something else that is necessary for small business.”

Pam Kutasienski, Branch Manager TD Canada Trust Thornbury, introduced myFavoriteMarketer with those words at the Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards last Thursday evening at the Lora Bay Clubhouse.

They were written by one of our clients – as part of the nomination of myFavoriteMarketer for the 2016 Carol Kordts Customer Service Excellence Award.

While I was aware of the nomination, I was pleasantly surprised to discover myFavoriteMarketer had won the award and grateful to hear that description.

Carol Kordts Customer Service Excellence Award - Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce 2016 myFavoriteMarketer

The Award is named in honour of Carol Kordts, who was known for her friendly, efficient and very caring customer service within Thornbury’s TD Bank, and for her unstinting generosity in her personal life. It recognizes a local business that “successfully demonstrates quality customer service, that is appreciated for its helpful and efficient service, dedicated to customer satisfaction and willing to go the extra mile.”

Many thanks to the Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce and TD Canada Trust.
