Vancouver Island Bucket List began as a passion project when I moved to Vancouver Island and wanted to explore my new home.
Our family moved to Vancouver Island after selling a business that was in our family for 45 years. It was a seasonal business with fifteen full time staff. As an owner of a seasonal retail and service business I understand the challenges small business face, the strains of advertising, money management and maintaining a focus on retail and service.
How did I get into Vancouver Island Bucket List?
I’ve always had a passion for multi media, including, video, photography and marketing. Before getting back into the family business I had a graphic design and marketing company and a small video production business that my wife and I still run today.
I come from a family who likes to explore and adventure. The type of family that doesn’t do well sitting at a resort for 10 days.
When we were moving to the Island, we found it frustrating trying to gather information. How much easier it would be to visit and revisit one site to find all the things that make your Island experience exceptional.
That is why I created Vancouver Island Bucket List. Here you can find your recreational and retail needs all on one site, saving you time and affording you the best experience possible.
Allowing the visitor to discover Vancouver Island’s experiences that will be remembered for life.
VIBL started in January 2022. Within seven months, we hit our first 15,000-page views in a 30-day period. We are excited about the growth and feedback we continue to see.
We continue to grow by developing essential content, sharing social media and building trust with search engines. We have plans to triple our page views next year.
There are two types of people who are visiting VIBL.
Classic Tourism – people who want to research Vancouver Island before they visit to maximize their visit.
Local Tourism – New and old Van Islanders looking to discover new adventures and experiences in their own backyard.
Vancouver Island Bucket List aims to connect the curious traveller to the local business on Vancouver Island. At the same time, growing a community of explorers, the curious, and the companies they align with.
It was started by Steven, who has 25 years of experience in graphic design and video production, in addition to running an independent service and retail business for ten years. Vancouver Island brings out a love for adventure and the outdoors and a passion for small business growth.
