Start-up vacation rental site earns top honors among women-owned Canadian businesses. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) November 29, 2012 - Toronto, Ontario - When she launched Online Cottage Rental last year, Sue ten Brummeler's primary goal was to promote and connect vacation property owners across Canada with renters, tourists, vacationers, visitors and real estate shoppers in the hopes of spurring interest in Canadian tourism. Since the site went live last year, onlinecottagerental.com has attracted hundreds of users and has successfully matched cottage owners and renters across the country.

Recently, Online Cottage Rental was nominated for Mompreneur® Award of Excellence 2013, a nationally sponsored program for recognizing and celebrating innovative ideas from talented moms in business.

A mother of 2 young children, ten Brummeler first struggled with the decision to go back to work. But now, she thinks she's found her calling. Thrilled with the nomination, and more so with the interest and visibility for the site, she said, "When I first set up to build this business, I recognized an opportunity in the market to provide cottage owners and renters with the tools and resources they needed to list, rent and sell their properties at a more efficient pace. Through Online Cottage Rental I was able to fulfill that demand, which is a value-add for my customers as well as the Canadian tourism industry as a whole. I look at my business as a reward in itself, but it's definitely an honor to be recognized."

If ten Brummeler wins the coveted $30K prize, she plans on growing her business through additional marketing using both traditional and digital channels.

To vote for Brummeler and Online Cottage Rental and to be entered to win a $500 cash prize, visit the MOMpreneur site. The ten MOMpreneurs who receive the most overall votes by January 31, 2013 will advance as a top 10 finalist. The overall winner will be chosen by a panel of judges, based on a set of criteria including track record of success, innovation of business idea and impact on the community.
