A little history of our maps in Whistler

Well, for starters I will tell you that I am the only map publisher in Western Canada that actually created a visitor map guide in order to market my own business. My story started in Whistler in 1996, when I created a fun, playful, easy-to-use way-finding system for the international guests. I gathered up 25 friends who owned businesses in town and we co-oped the costs.  25 bucks each for the first issue!

Fast forward to 2006 and I went bigger, better, snazzier, and fun-ner. I kept the same "co-op marketing for my best mates" philosophy and have managed to keep my rates the same-ish for the last 16 years running.

I target our map guides towards women, children, international guests, and seniors (big type, soft colour palate, activi-toons). We ain’t no topographical map of Whistler. Nope, they aren’t geared for mountaineers! We are a pure visitor map of the whistler that adds a little hospitality and adventure flare to front desks and visitor centres in the Village. You will see our maps in the hands of people out and about while shopping, dining, and looking for their next adventure.

I’m super excited to get our summer/fall maps off to press shortly. All insertion orders are based on two issues (exceptions apply) and you will have the opportunity to change up your ad for each issue.

Get on the maps for as low as $525 per issue. Need a solid 8 Week Social Media Plan, too? Package pricing and payment plans are available. Just ask, I’ll listen.


Let’s take a peek!

Summer 2024 is looking hotter than ever! We are busy refreshing our lovingly hand-drawn visitor map of Whistler as we speak. Updated accommodation labels, changes to the downtown core, NEW Creekside inset map , NEW Function Junction inset map, and extra tidbits requested from our guest service community coming this fall. Have some input? Don’t hesitate to let me know.

Meet your distribution rep!

Oh look, it’s me!! Yep, the buck stops here. I head out twice a season to do a very thorough saturation. Me and my beloved corgi, that is. Then, I have a couple excellent little map fairies that shuttle the maps around town the other months. We aim to head out the 10th of every month to check on our outdoor kiosks and our core distribution locations in Whistler. All of our maps are stored safe and secure at Black Tusk Storage in Squamish.

Did you know that we provide a certified distribution service? We use an smartphone app that is really cool. It allows me to assign the routes to our distribution reps where they log in and check off each location as they go. We even take pictures of the racks and maps at each location after delivery for extra accountability! That means peace of mind for you that your advertising dollars are hard at work!
