Questions chambers ask

What does it cost our chamber?

Nothing. The businesses on the map pay for production, printing and mailing.

How is our chamber's check calculated?

Your chamber gets $50 for every member in good standing at the start of the project who joins the map. You can also pass it back to your members as a discount.

When is the check paid?

After the map is printed and distributed.

Is there a contract?

Yes, a short two-page partnership agreement.

What if not enough businesses sign up?

Before we start, we look at past results from the last map in your community, or in similar communities, to make sure the project will be a success.

Will it compete with our other fundraisers?

No. We time the project with you so it doesn't overlap your other fundraising.

How long does it take?

About 12 weeks from kickoff to every mailbox in town.

Who visits our businesses?

Our MapToons team personally contacts just about every business in town on your behalf, most in person and some by phone, with the president's letter we draft together.
