  4. In the beginning • 2 vans with bucket lifts left for Edmonton • Started by driving around at night and looking at signs that either needed repair or replacement, taking a photo of the sign, writing up a free estimate for service and calling the sign owner the next day with an estimate and the willingness to repair it for much less than the competition.

  5. Spreading the Word • Eventually Westcan’s outstanding service and prices confirmed contracts with major national companies for western Canada. (Starbucks Coffee Canada, McDonald’s Canada, Tim Horton’s, Wendy’s Canada, Future Shop, Shell Canada and more.) • Word of their “family like business” spread and got the attention of most major business’

  6. Spreading the Word • Unconventional advertising is one of the key aspects in their success • By providing free estimates and arriving willing to do any little task the customer needed completed, Westcan kept a group of loyal customers. For example: if they are there to complete an install, and the customer has a problem with their plumbing, Westcan employees will do what ever they can to fix it.
