#WhiteRock #Surrey #SouthSurrey #Delta #Tsawwassen #Langley CARRYING THE TOURISM TORCH FOR WHITE ROCK AND CANADA

October 28, 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

When photographer and webmaster Ric Wallace left Ontario for Canada’s west coast, he didn’t know he’d be calling White Rock, BC his new home, let alone creating a line of postcards to promote White Rock. But visitors to his website WhiteRockBeach.ca often commented that his images should be on postcards. Knowing there was a limited market for these images, the successful sales have spun off into his latest line of nationwide “Wildlife of Canada” postcard series, as well as a holiday-themed White Rock postcard.

Starting with 30 White Rock Beach designs, Ric now has 41 different postcards for sale in about a dozen stores in town, as well as online on four websites. The postcards have a “Virtual Edge” over other locally-produced postcards because of the inclusion of UPC barcodes, as well as a QR code featuring a website containing lots of photos, videos, and links for people to check out. To Ric’s surprise, businesses in Tsawwassen and Langley, while gladly selling Vancouver-themed postcards, weren’t interested in retailing postcards that promoted White Rock. With the summer tourist season ending, Ric expected sales to drop off; surprisingly, sales in the first half of October had actually increased from the month prior.

Ric seizes every opportunity to let people know what he does as he shares his love of White Rock, including a recent visit to the dentist for some desperately needed repair work for a broken tooth. With a few postcards in hand, Ric visited Dr. John Rogers of White Rock Dental Clinic, letting them know the postcards were available at nearby Semiahmoo Mall. It was Dr. Roger’s use of a pencil-like camera to produce digital images of Ric’s dental issues that convinced him to he’d found his dentist. Dr. Rogers appreciated the sample postcards – one of the large white rock on the beach – and showed Ric how that rock inspired the dental logo for White Rock Dental Clinic.

Two weeks later when Ric returned, Dr. Rogers asked if Ric was the same person who had given him the White Rock postcards. The dentist had just returned from a vacation in Kenya, and he showed Ric a photo of a Kenyan tribesman, standing in front of a mud hut, holding his postcard. Never having seen a seagull before, the villagers admired another popular postcard known as “The Bird Dance” – an image of a seagull on the beach. Dr. Rogers happily regifted the postcards to the eager villagers.

After hearing the Kenya story, Ric thought it would be both a boost for White Rock tourism and his postcard sales if others act as goodwill ambassadors like Dr. Rogers did and share the Spirit of White Rock while on their next trip. Naturally, not everyone can afford vacations to faraway places such as Africa, but anyone can share them via Canada Post.

With the popularity of some of the bird and animal postcards, Ric decided to expand his postcard business and create the Wildlife of Canada series. He now has 41 different postcards with 13 of the bird postcards created from images taken at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Delta, BC. They were proud to have some of their local residents featured on the postcards and a plug on the back.

The latest postcard creation, suggested by a previous customer, is a “Season’s Greetings” card of the White Rock pier, available until the end of the holiday season. With the current economy, anyone can share some gifts of WhiteRockBeach.ca and WildlifeOfCanada.com postcards and help carry the tourism torch for White Rock and Canada.

The White Rock Zone is Now Online

vec-1001-postcard

WhiteRockZone.com

The White Rock Zone encompasses business listings and features things to do and see inside and outside the White Rock zone. We call this “Thinking Inside and Outside The Rock”!

About White Rock…

White Rock is a unique destination for tourists and shoppers alike, with many options for fun, entertainment, exercise, and amazing photo opportunities. The large selection of restaurants will satisfy any palate, and foodies will return wanting more.

If you’re a seeker of sunshine, White Rock is the place to be. Known as “The Hole in the Sky” by pilots flying overhead, White Rock gets the most sun of anywhere in the lower mainland. While other areas may be under cloud cover, the sun is likely to be smiling on The Rock!

About the rest of the White Rock Zone…

We understand that not everyone in the northwest can be at White Rock Beach at the same time. And we are encouraging people to visit other locations in The Zone, all within a two-hour drive or less of White Rock, encompassing the BC lower mainland, Vancouver Island, and northwest Washington State as far south as Seattle.

The staff of WhiteRockZone.com, Ric Wallace & Sheila T, are photographers who love to take pictures! We are also avid walkers and believe in the power of exercise in the White Rock Zone.

Virtual Edge Communications is located in White Rock, British Columbia serving the world in web design, digital photography, online advertising, PowerPoint, computer graphics, e-marketing, ebook publishing, and more.

In the summer of 2011, we were visiting White Rock Beach and never left! We moved our web design/marketing company to White Rock. We are always meeting new people to find out why they like White Rock and always inquire as to their favorite places to visit or things to do throughout The Zone.

Sometimes we even discover places on our own. For example: We created a video of our visit to Whatcom Falls Park in Bellingham WA, and showed it to a local lifetime BC resident who never knew it existed, even though this resident shops in Bellingham every couple of weeks.

With the proximity of the White Rock Zone to the Washington State border, we are also providing travel tips to help make your crossing easier.

We are asking anyone who lives in or visits White Rock to be goodwill ambassadors and let people know about White Rock Beach – the luckiest place on the west coast! You can let people know by word of mouth, telephone, social media, email, or even send them one of our really cool White Rock Beach postcards.

If you are coming to White Rock from elsewhere in The Zone, feel free to let us know of any Hot Spots for shopping or pleasure in your area.
