New directory to bring one comprehensive book and competition to Canada's
largest market
TORONTO - The sales force behind Western Canada's most
trusted directory source, TELUS Advertising Services (TAS), hit the streets of
Toronto last week, bringing real choice and competition to Canada's largest
directory market.
From now until mid August 2001, TELUS will be contacting advertisers in
Etobicoke, York, North York, East York, Scarborough, and Toronto to discuss
their inclusion in the upcoming TELUS directory.
To be distributed later this year, the TELUS Toronto Directory will
consist of a single book for all of the City of Toronto. This is the first
time Toronto consumers will be able to access information from all over
Toronto from one information source.
"With our competitive rates, consumer-friendly format and experience both
in Ontario and the West, we're confident the TELUS Toronto Directory will be
the preferred information source for the City of Toronto," says Don Romaniuk,
President of TELUS Advertising Services.
"TELUS Directories are already in 26 communities in southern Ontario, so
crossing the threshold into Toronto helps connect consumers with our
advertisers across the Golden Horseshoe."
In addition to competitive rates for advertisers and optimum coverage of
the City of Toronto, the TELUS Toronto Directory will feature:
- A complete list of Toronto postal codes
- Community pages and local maps
- A "Menus by Cuisine" section
- Internet Guide
- Business listings and ads spanning the city
While new to Toronto, TAS has been serving Ontario's Golden Horseshoe
with TELUS Directories since 1999, in addition to more than 90 years
experience in Western Canada.
TELUS Corporation (TSE: T, T.A; NYSE: TU) is one of Canada's leading
