Doing Business in Markham

Markham businesses come to DND Teams for one accountable team that can handle the website, search, social media, ads and customer messaging together.

Markham, north-east of Toronto, describes itself as Canada's high-tech capital, with hundreds of technology and life-sciences companies, and is one of the most diverse cities in the country, including large Chinese and South Asian communities.

Markham businesses often market to the whole Greater Toronto Area, and CASL consent rules apply to every commercial email and text.

Key business areas include Unionville, Markham Centre, Cornell, Milliken and the Highway 7 business corridor. Our work for Markham clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Tamil and Gujarati) and the regulations of Canada.

Markham Market Notes

Who your customers are

Markham's customers include technology and software firms, financial services and insurance companies, life-sciences businesses and one of Canada's most diverse populations, with large Chinese and South Asian communities. Markham hosts Canadian headquarters of IBM, AMD and Honda. Pacific Mall is North America's largest Asian mall. Markham's Main Street Unionville has heritage shops.

How they choose and contact a business

Markham customers research online and respond to Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil and Hindi content. WeChat and WhatsApp groups play a strong role in community recommendations.

When demand peaks

Lunar New Year, Diwali, the Markham Village Music Festival and the holiday season are key moments, and school calendars shape family spending. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches mention Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell, Thornhill, Pacific Mall, Markville and the Highway 7 tech corridor. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in Canada

Canadians are heavy smartphone users, and SMS and iMessage remain the default way to text friends, while WhatsApp is popular in immigrant communities, especially South Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin American households. Businesses typically send texts from toll-free or short-code numbers rather than alphanumeric sender IDs, which Canadian carriers do not generally support, and the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association administers the common short code programme.

Interac e-Transfer is the everyday way to send money between people, and debit (Interac) and credit cards dominate in-store. Prices are usually shown before GST/HST and provincial sales tax are added. Key retail moments include Boxing Day, Black Friday, back-to-school in late August and Canada Day on 1 July, and French-language versions are expected for audiences in Quebec.

Canada's economy includes energy, mining, forestry, agriculture, manufacturing and a large services sector, with banking concentrated in Toronto. Sales taxes vary by province: some combine federal and provincial tax into a single HST, while others charge GST plus a provincial tax. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires express or implied consent, sender identification and an unsubscribe mechanism for commercial electronic messages, including texts. Interac e-Transfer is the most common way to send money, and the National Do Not Call List covers telemarketing.

Canadian websites should follow PIPEDA (and provincial laws where applicable) for collecting personal information, with a clear privacy policy and meaningful consent.
