Dear Mr. Bentley,
It has truly been a pleasure working with you in my capacity as Director
of the Janice Griffin Gallery these past several years. You are uniquely
creative and a capable problem solver. Your newly released Pearl District
Map has already made a difference to our business. Over one weekend, I
counted over half of the people coming in to the art gallery carrying your map.
Evidence of your wide distribution is that they came from hotels, retail stores
and from the Portland Oregon Visitors' Association (the Unitarian Convention).
Not only is your map candy for the eye, enticing people to pick it up wherever
they may be, but also people are finding it easy to use. These qualities combined
make your map a total winner for our business.

Hi David...I hope it isn't too late to send you images for the next map.
Here are some for you to choose one. I thought of you today, I had someone
find me because of the map, and buy some crosses. I thought I would pass
that along. I was glad. Anyhoo...here are some pics. 'Hi' to Mandy

I would like to take this moment and say how much I admire the work that David Bentley and Michael Sant are doing with MapClicks. Not only is the product (the actual map) graphically pleasing, but also the whole format makes it easy to use. I own a Gallery in the Alberta District and have seen many a visitor with the map in their hands, touring the street. It is an indispensable tool for my business and a way that I can direct people to other places of business on the street.
In addition to the actual map, the web page and links to other businesses have gotten rave reviews from both customers and other merchants. And, of course, it has become a way to connect with the other districts through their maps. Portland has become connected through their efforts.
On another note, both Michael and David have been a joy to work with. They are untiring in working with the merchants and have managed to unite a rather disparate group here. They are both clear in their business dealings and their direction for MapClicks. Congratulations to them and long live their vision.

David,
Although I intended to sign up with the downtown LO map regardless of
any input, I decided to call one store on each of your existing maps to
see what the store owners had to say about your product and services.
I chose stores that seemed the closest to mine as far as target
audiences.
Each store I called was delighted in every way with the results of the map and with your handling of their account. I treat my business as a way of life, and not just an income. It is important to me to make a difference in people's lives, and to provide them with excellent service in order to make their lives easier and also a little happier. I can see that you do the same, and I look forward to working with you for many years.
-Deborah BenassuJust wanted to let you know how much my wife and I love your maps. Any chance you'll have a Hollywood area map any time soon?
