Announcing a Mokena-New Lenox Community Map! |
We are currently in the early stages of putting together the item most requested by the community....the print community map.
The Mokena and New Lenox Chambers are for the first time ever producing this document together for the BEST exposure for our advertisers. Who are our advertisers? YOU!
6,000 copies of these maps will be distributed between both communities. The map will have a minimum shelf life of 2 years. Each village will have it's own map contained within this one piece. This will be the most up-to-date map available in the area.

New Resident 'Swag Bag' marketing opportunity for you. |
As a member of the Mokena Chamber of Commerce you can be one of the first businesses to welcome new residents to Mokena!
When new residents set up their utilities account at Village Hall, they are given a card to bring to the Chamber Office to redeem for a Welcome Swag Bag of free gifts, including promotional items and coupons from Chamber member businesses, along with information about the community.
To participate in the Welcome to Mokena program, we just ask that you provide a promotional item for the Welcome Bag, and/or a coupon for your business.
To participate, we ask for a 12-month commitment in the program. In return, at the end of each quarter, you will receive the mailing addresses of the Welcome Swag Bag recipients who have opted to receive information from you.
The program fee is only $100 per year!
