“The Ultimate Anti-Valentine’s Day: Discount Divorce”

Kelowna Divorce Mediation Services “tweets” were recently picked up by a New York City reporter working for Vocativ.com . Sensationalism sells and that is what Vocativ is all about. Kelowna Divorce’s recent “ Valentine’s Day Divorce Special ” caught the attention of Versha Sharma, the reporter who wrote the story. The following are the BIG headlines on their front page:

Without talking with the owner and senior family mediator, Wes Stevenson , Ms. Sharma refers to Kelowna Divorce as a “divorce attorney” firm. In fact, it is a family mediation centre located in Kelowna, British Columbia. It’s been around for five years and it’s helped hundreds of couples find a fair solution to their separation plans.

Running a divorce special is nothing new, however, when attached to Valentine’s Day, a negative spin can be attached to it. In this case, the negative publicity which was intended regarding the product has had a positive versus negative effect. Hits to the website and telephone calls have increased five-fold in just 24 hours. So, what seemed to be a negative story created for a sensationalist online rag mag, has helped the small Kelowna-based business.

Kelowna Divorce’s sole purpose in running the divorce special was to acknowledge those individuals who don’t fall into the romantic category and who are looking for closure to a bad chapter in their lives. After all St. Valentine was also the patron saint of bee keepers, the plague and epilepsy!
