VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glance Technologies Inc. (CSE:GET) (FKT:GJT) has launched a series of new marketing initiatives to promote its free mobile application Glance Pay and its participating restaurants.

Glance has deployed a team of Brand Ambassadors to help integrate Glance Pay at Glance’s participating restaurants and to increase Glance’s marketing efforts in Vancouver. The Brand Ambassadors train and educate restaurant staff on the benefits of using and promoting Glance Pay to their restaurant patrons.

Additionally, Glance’s Brand Ambassadors are increasing consumer awareness about Glance’s participating restaurants and Glance Pay through robust guerrilla marketing in Vancouver’s downtown core.
