InfoTel Multimedia is a locally owned and operated telephone directory servicing the North Thompson (Kamloops and area), Shuswap (Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and area), Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, and South Okanagan areas of British Columbia, Canada. InfoTel Multimedia has been in the publishing business since 1989 and has been a member of the Canadian Independent Directory Association since its inception in 1998. In 1996, Bonnie Derry purchased a failing business and held fast to the belief that if you have the best product in the marketplace, you will succeed. InfoTel has carefully considered and researched the market areas in which it publishes its directories. The directories are based on shopping districts, communication zones of residents and commercial dealings of the area's population rather than following the regions established by the provincial utility. The desires and needs of the consumer, both advertising in the book and the end user, were carefully considered. Each residential address receives a directory and businesses are polled to see how many books are required. Hotels, motels and resorts also receive a book for each rental room. InfoTel Multimedia offers great coverage with many added features such as maps, postal code inclusion with each white and yellow page address, government listings, local restaurant menus, bus and garbage pick-up schedules, with calendar of yearly events and festivals. 2013 Statistics of Internet versus Phone book usage by age:
