Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores

“Our Chamber has nothing but positive things to say about our experience with MapToons. It’s such a treat to see the Bellmore map prominently displayed everywhere! We’ve worked with Mark Snider and his team in the past, and the results were great, but we were not sure how receptive our members might be this time since many are still recovering from the pandemic. Good news is, we were delightfully surprised that many, many more businesses participated than ever, boosting our membership roster considerably, and that the new map was more colorful and creative than we anticipated. Plus, MapToons made a difference in our community in another way by helping us to fund our scholarship program for students in our local schools. Many thanks to all involved!”

“This was our second project with MapToons. Not only did we increase our Chamber membership, but the map is improved and now there was a direct mailing to all of our residents, an online interactive MapToon for the Chamber website and a “shop local” program with discount cards affixed inside each MapToon. Mark Snider was such a pleasure to work with! We look forward to working with MapToons again in the future.”

“Working with MapToons, specifically Mark Snider, was my absolute pleasure. His positive attitude and passion for what he does is infectious as well as inspiring. I loved the way he would give me weekly updates and give me the 'good, the bad, and the ugly' when it came to feedback from our members. He also updated our existing database of membership information, which was invaluable. In essence MapToons opened the door to many new possible members; the rest is up to us to retain them. Thanks again Mark for all your hard work and effort. And by the way, the $2,650 check was very much appreciated and helped the Chamber tremendously. This to me was a win-win. I would recommend all Chambers to contact Mark today!”

“This was my second time working with MapToons, as I am also in the Levittown Chamber of Commerce. When Mark approached us to produce a MapToon for the East Meadow Chamber, I was very excited. I knew that aside from a colorful advertising piece, we would gain new members and add to our treasury. I did not expect to get 55 new members—which is awesome! Mark is a great person to work with and it was a true pleasure getting MapToons done for the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce.”

“The Levittown Chamber of Commerce recently experienced the pleasure of working with Mark Snider from MapToons. Mark was able to produce a map that was fun to look at and pleasing to our businesses. As a Chamber we picked up 43 new members and also made money on the project. For anyone who may be considering working with MapToons, I would suggest that they do it!

The businesses and everyone around town have been raving about the map and feel the Medford Chamber is again alive and well. Using MapToons gave us the jump start we needed and put Medford on the map! On a personal note, as the Chamber President I appreciated your constant contact by always keeping me informed so the board and I were continually in the loop and we felt connected during the whole process. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will miss you and will be in touch for the next edition in five years!”

“Not only did they increase our membership greatly, they also increased our treasury. The town is buzzing about MapToons and the “Shop Local” program with the Shoppers Discount Card. We couldn’t be any happier with Doug Snider and the MapToons team with the product they delivered. Don’t think twice about having your town depicted by MapToons. It was a great experience all around.”

“Doug Snider and his MapToons team did more than our Chamber ever expected. They created a beautiful cartoon map of the Holbrook Community while increasing our membership by 87 new members and raising our treasury by $3,500. They also delivered an oversized “SuperToon” which is hung at our annual street fair for everyone to look at and enjoy. It was a great experience working with MapToons as they brought fun and excitement to our town while creating the Holbrook MapToon.”

MapToons understood the importance of open communication, updating us weekly throughout the process. On a personal note, working with Mark has been very rewarding as he was always there to support our Chamber. I strongly encourage every Chamber to team up with MapToons.

“It was a pleasure working with MapToons and Mark Snider. He has helped our Chamber grow with 36 new members that we have not been able to reach. These new owners will help to bring our business community closer together. This was Copiague’s first MapToon, and I am sure it was a challenge to Mark. Everyone is thrilled with the map, and those that didn’t participate this time, maybe they will next time. Thank you to Mark and MapToons for a job well done!”

“The Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce started the year with the positive attitude of, “Think Big. Get Big.” We determined that a 25% increase in membership was a realistic expectation and with our new website as our selling tool, we had visions of immediate growth. Needless to say, our expectations surpassed reality–until Doug and MapToons got involved! Everything they promised was delivered! We not only have 162 new members, but also a check for $3,600, which helped balance our budget for the year. The Patchogue MapToon has created an immediate buzz in our community and our “Shopping Locally” campaign now has validity because of the MapToons Shopper’s Discount Card! If you are a Long Island Chamber considering whether MapToons will work for you, don’t hesitate–go for it! Remember: “You can never move forward standing in the same place.””

Mindy Skura, President
Bethpage Chamber of Commerce Bethpage Chamber of Commerce logo

“Working with MapToons was “simply the best!” No one else has integrity, honor and commitment like they do. They brought our Chamber back together, signing up over 100 members! Our residents and all the business owners are thrilled with the map. And those businesses that didn’t participate wish they had.”

Gary S. Bretton, President

Phyllis N. Doria, President
Syosset Chamber of Commerce

“MapToons hit the streets of Syosset running with such zest and enthusiasm that I knew my gut feelings were correct about this company. They represented the Syosset Chamber of Commerce in such a way like no other, and made our businesses and members feel at ease and comfortable. Their professionalism is without question one that we should all try to reach for. The program was a huge success, as MapToons brought in 70 new members. When making a recommendation of a business there needs to be some type of validation. Well, it is without hesitation or question, that I would highly recommend MapToons for your next project.”

Kevin Allison, President (2007–2009)

“The Cedarhurst MapToon is colorful, attractive, fun, and humorous, and is an excellent promotional tool. MapToons delivered the maps exactly when they said they would, and the timing could not have been more perfect—just before the 2009 holiday season. Although initially concerned about the success of the project, we were pleasantly surprised at the number of businesses that agreed to appear on the map and were thrilled at the positive response received from both customers and merchants alike. We also received a phone call from a local hotel requesting additional copies to put on display! We enjoyed working with Mark from MapToons on this project. He is both professional and personable–warm, friendly, a great salesperson, thorough, responsive, and continues to follow-up with us well after the project has been completed.”

Ava Gold Ziegler, Executive Director
Valley Stream Chamber of Commerce

“MapToons was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm by the Valley Stream business community. The creators of MapToons were extremely cooperative and worked exceptionally hard to make the project the success it was. This resulted in acquiring 70 new members and increasing our treasury. The VSCC board held firm to the conviction that if it is worth doing, it’s worth doing it right, and it was. Thank you MapToons!”

Frank De Mita, President (2006–2007)
Hicksville Chamber of Commerce Hicksville Chamber of Commerce logo

“Typically, most projects undertaken by the Chamber are very labor intensive and demanding of our volunteers. This was not the case with MapToons. Doug and Mark Snider literally hit the ground running. It was great to hear from businesses that these two were not only down to earth, but professional in their dealings with every one of the over 200 businesses that participated in the program. We take our hats off to them and thank them for the wonderful job they did for us. Our collaboration with MapToons was nothing less than a GREAT SUCCESS as we added over 150 new members to our Chamber! This project not only put our local businesses on the Map, it helped put the Hicksville Chamber there, too.”

Lionel Chitty, President
Hempstead Chamber of Commerce

“Our experience with MapToons was an unexpected pleasure. When we were first approached by them, we were cautiously enthusiastic. We had tried many different projects in the past and had gotten a lukewarm response from our membership and the local businesses. We weren’t sure what kind of response MapToons would get, if any at all. Well, was I mistaken! MapToons did a marvelous job in the community getting to every business in the Village (and then some!). They pounded the pavement and knocked on doors! Our membership grew tri-fold and the business owners were never so happy and welcoming! There is no doubt MapToons delivered and is welcome back anytime. I thank you, the Hempstead Business Community thanks you and The Hempstead Chamber of Commerce definitely thanks you.”

“It was a pleasure working with MapToons to once again create another masterpiece for our village. Customers have been complimenting the original map for over a decade now and are sure to love the new one even more! I’m confident it won’t be our last either.

Our membership plays a vital role in the community, providing the highest quality products and services, and so many of them are shared on this colorful new map that will be widely distributed and available online. As we felt in 2016, the Chamber Board and I know that this MapToons project — already successful in boosting our membership (70 NEW members!) — will soon be driving business in our directions.

On behalf of the Commack-Kings Park Rotary Club we are so pleased with the outcome! We’re glad to see our community rally together and attain a spotlight on the map. This should encourage others to use the map and identify where the businesses are located and take advantage of the many discounts! MapToons is a valuable resource and tool for our community.

“On behalf of the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce I would like to thank Mark Snider and the MapToons organization for their help in putting Bethpage 'Back on the Map'! Our Chamber worked with MapToons seven years ago, so we were ready and eager to offer this fabulous promotion to our members again. With Mark's help, not only did we get many of our current members to participate again, but we added 57 new members as a direct result of MapToons! They handled every detail and then planned an awesome 'Map Reveal' where our Chamber was presented with a generous check (Yes - this was a great fundraiser as well!) In addition to the beautiful printed maps, we have also added an interactive map to our website. Many of our businesses are so pleased with this feature that links customers directly back to their website. We also ordered extra maps and have plenty on hand to use as giveaways at our Chamber functions and street fairs. Our Chamber would recommend this unique promotion to any Chamber of Commerce who needs help attracting new members in addition to providing quality exposure for current members that can reach residents in your town and across all of Long Island!”

The Shopper’s Discount Cards are a plus and the direct mailing to our residents reminds them to “shop local” and utilize the services of our Chamber members. The MapToons team made the entire process easy from beginning to end and the financial aspect naturally has a positive impact. Thanks MapToons!”

“At first I had no idea what MapToons was all about. However, the Board decided to have Doug Snider come to our meeting and speak on behalf of MapToons and the rest is history. From the very first meeting up until the final product Doug keeps us totally informed and the project on track. His actions showed me how professional he is delivering each step of the way. The Maps were delivered on time and our entire membership and community were impressed on how it turned out. Immediately upon the maps distributions individuals and store owners kept raving to me about “their town” MapToon. Compliments keep coming in how great of an idea this was. It is a great sense of community pride walking into local stores and seeing the Map adorned in those stores. Kudos to Doug Snider and the entire staff of MapToons on a great product.”

Mark Snider does a fantastic job of speaking to current and prospective members, relaying the Chamber’s message of community and unity in a truly professional manner. Through his efforts we were able to reconnect with local businesses and offer them a great way to advertise their products and services. MapToons gave us an opportunity to grow our membership in a simple way that is a win-win for all involved. The Chamber is also grateful for the opportunity to have a “hands off” project that generated significant revenues and that will assist us in meeting our members needs. The Board of Directors, General Membership and I are truly thankful for having the chance to work with such a great company. I highly recommend MapToons to any and all Chambers of Commerce to take advantage of this project.”

“MapToons came into our City and represented the Chamber with such professionalism and passion that not only did map participation outperform our expectations by more than 50%, but their efforts helped project to both new businesses and past members a reason to join the Chamber. Since publication of the map in June, hardly a day passes where our office does not get requests from visitors, community members and merchants for copies of the map. Further, at our summer “Welcome Booths,” the map is the hottest requested information media piece by visitors to our City.”

We worked closely with Mark who entrenched himself in our community–acting as an Ambassador for the Chamber. He kept in constant communication with us, providing feedback from both members and non-members on their experience with the Chamber. He spoke to businesses about who we are and about the role we play in the community. In the end, we boosted our Treasury, added 45 new members, and in addition to receiving a beautiful marketing product for our businesses, every resident in the community now knows who the Chamber of Commerce is.

Within the first 24 hours my business received orders using the Shopper’s Discount Card. The Chamber is happy and our neighbors are, too! Keep up the good work, MapToons!”

“The Roslyn Chamber of Commerce is very grateful for the partnership we undertook with MapToons. Not only did it help put Roslyn “on the map” and help promote local business, but it helped the Chamber grow enormously. We added 96 new members and now proudly represent over 230 businesses in the greater Roslyn area. Thank you MapToons!”

“Doug and Mark Snider are probably the best marketing business people I have ever met. Two brothers with a unique marketing tool that was precisely put together with integrity and professionalism. Their conscientiousness, skill and keen intelligence was truly manifested in all their business transactions. Not only did we increase our membership by 61 new members, we received a bonus check for over two thousand dollars, distributed 4,000 free MapToons at our annual Street Fair, and delivered a map to every residence in The Williston/Albertson communities. The Chamber of Commerce of the Willistons is overwhelmingly satisfied with the work and promises set forth by MapToons. They are true professionals, but more importantly, they have become really good friends. Not only with me, but with all our members.”

“At first our Chamber Board was apprehensive about business participation, but MapToons made it easy for everyone. In the end over 180 businesses signed on to the map and we added more than 100 new members! Our experience with MapToons was very positive and they were a pleasure to deal with. Mineola loves MapToons!”

“MapToons was a complete benefit to our Chamber. They increased our membership to 210 members strong and generated so much enthusiasm that 50+ members now attend our general meetings. And let’s not forget the financial benefit MapToons has been as they contributed $3500.00 to our Chamber. MapToons is a no-lose project. It will increase membership and help financially. The salespeople are nothing but professionals. I would highly recommend them to any Chamber.”

Frank Cutolo, President
East Rockaway Chamber of Commerce

“From the very beginning it was a great pleasure to work with MapToons. The dedication of their staff to turn out a great product for all is priceless. They increased our membership by 46 members and everyone involved in the project enjoyed doing it. Therefore, I highly recommend MapToons to any Chamber of Commerce looking to increase membership and feature their village on such a great map.”

Ken Clark, President
West Hempstead Chamber of Commerce

“Thanks to MapToons our Chamber added 81 new members–nearly tripling our membership–and we significantly increased our treasury, too! Over eighty members attended our “Welcome” dinner meeting, which is far more than we’ve ever had. There is a renewed excitement and enthusiasm within the West Hempstead Chamber of Commerce and the Board thanks MapToons for playing a considerable role in making that possible.”

Gary Port, President
Island Park Chamber of Commerce

“The Island Park Chamber of Commerce decided to work with MapToons to expand the reach of our businesses, and as a welcome sidebar we added 54 new members. We found the MapToons staff attentive to our ideas and suggestions. They were always available for questions, consultations, and alerted us to new members as they came on board. They took a very hands on approach which we appreciated. Our Chamber members feel this was a very positive experience. We even have businesses asking how they can get in on the next one. Our Village Hall and Library keep a stock of maps and we bring them to every function. In addition we give them to new residents to help them get acquainted with Island Park. We plan to do another map in the future.”

Barbra Rubin, President
Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce

“MapToons was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They have a unique well thought out system that is a win-win proposition for all involved. MapToons produced a fun map loaded with important information and marketing pieces, distributed it to our businesses and homes, signed up 42 new members for us, and at the end gave us a nice check. Thanks for a great job!”
