I have known Mark Shaffer for about two years now. Mark helped me grow a successful business when I was a month away from closing down. I signed up with his magazine having no idea what to do. Two days later I called with some questions and was told that if I wanted Mark personally would meet with me for ideas. I was shocked when the owner of the company took time to just sit and talk to me and my partner on how to helps us. Mark had not just told us he was going to help but actually followed through with everything he had said. He has gone far beyond my expectations and has been committed to making me and other professionals like me successful. From my experience Mark has always conducted himself and his business with integrity and professionalism. I have not only built a great business relationship with Mark but also consider him a good friend.

We all know the expression “he doesn’t take no for an answer”, but Mark Shaffer put a twist on this expression: “he doesn’t say no for an answer”. Mark will try anything to help you if you ask him. If he doesn't have the solution, he will put you in contact with people who do. I had some ideas for my coaching and entertainment business, and Mark went out of his way to help me connect with the right people. He even organized the meetings with the people I needed to meet and accompanied me to make the encounters even more efficient. Mark is very successful in different fields and is very busy, but he understands human needs well and knows how to create a better world to live in. He wants to leave a legacy, and he's making that happen every day. Mark is very generous, kind, and sweet, not to mention that he's always ready to create some jokes to lighten the atmosphere. If you haven't had a chance to work with or meet Mark yet, don't miss your opportunity. You'll be charmed and remember this moment forever.

I was honored to be nominated and accepted as one of the Top 100 Men several years back and feel privileged to have been accepted in the years since. During this time we have also decided to do some advertising with MyCity Magazine and the professionalism and expertise of Mark and the staff I have worked with was absolutely wonderful. I have referred them to other friends in business and will continue to thank them for the opportunities they have opened for us and give them our support in the future.

I met Mark Shaffer many years ago through business and when approached to be an advertiser in his magazine, I did not hesitate to place an advertisement in his first publication. I knew from past experience that Mark was great at marketing and would promote his publication well, which in turn would promote my business. This proved to be true. I have since been a very satisfied advertiser in all of Mark Shaffer’s magazine publications and consider those advertising dollars well spent.

I have been working for Mark and MyCity Magazine for 7 years now and I am more then grateful for everything I have learned throughout those years.  has a family feel to it, it’s like a second home to me. I love that I can bring my son into the office and he certainly enjoys coming in as well. Great company to work for! Mark is a great boss. Working with MyCity Magazine was amazing, from starting off as a personal assistant and working my way up to the general manager there is definitely room for growth here. The office is always upbeat, positive and professional. Couldn’t ask for a better opportunity than working for MyCity Magazine. THANK YOU!

My name is Kate Johnson. I’ve known Mark for about 15 and a half years, and have worked for him on and off for the last 10 years. We have become more like family than the typical boss, employee relationship. I’ve had dinners at his house with his family. And he’s had dinners at my house with my family. I attend church with him and his family every Sunday. He has been more like a father to me than a boss. I can’t explain how much he has done for me, my children and my family. My City is a great environment to work in.

Mark Shaffer is an indomitable spirit, a man who makes big promises and keeps them, a middle aged guy with the endless energy and optimism of a five year old, an always busy creator and connector who somehow makes time for anyone in need of mentoring & guidance in business & marketing, he is a teacher, a giver, an uplifting friend, an almost unimaginably positive force, and I can honestly say that no one individual, and no one company has done more to guide my photography career to success than Mark Shaffer.

Mark is one of the kindest and generous men I have ever met, his willingness to give and pay attention to people’s needs has made me a fan for life!

I've advertised with MyCity Magazine for many years now. I find the magazines and owner Mark Shaffer, to be both ethical and well respected within the community. Mark has owned and operated several magazines here and in other cities. I've gained PR and clients from advertising in his magazine. I highly recommend the magazines and Mark as a business outlet and networking tool.

My husband and I have been in business since 1990. We own a few businesses here in the city. With so many businesses and today's economy thanks to Mark all of our businesses are growing tremendously. We do keep a close eye on our traffic leads and Mark’s magazine is one of the main keys to our success. Thank you Mark for all you do for the business economy.

I have known Mr. Mark Shaffer for approximately three years both personally and professionally. I currently serve on a non-profit board of directors with Mark, as well as network with him in professional organizations. Mark is a very community minded person and savvy business owner. When Mark is involved he gives 110% of his time, energy and creative talents. Mark's enthusiasm is contagious and makes those around him step up and be better what they do!

Mark.. I wanted to say that you did an awesome job doing the fundraiser for Ron Quince. It was better than I expected... and I truly appreciate that you kept your word.. that is rare in this State. When I first asked you to do this .. you didn't give me any excuses on why you couldn't. You just took the bull by the horns and got it done. You have my respect and I will not forget your kindness!

Kyle Decker

My name is Kyle Decker former employee to MyCity Magazine and would like to write this letter thanking Mark Shaffer for giving me my first opportunity working within the local media sector of the city. Mark has a proven publishing record of 40 years that intrigued my desire to work under him as an ethical and valued individual that is truly admired by the community. He has a giving and helpful hand to everyone and he is a man who extends his life-long education to his team of professionals, who deliver the magazine “for locals by locals”. I would highly recommend a career with MyCity Magazine to anyone that has the motivation to work in media and will say first hand that if you become employed by MyCity Magazine, you will learn quickly, the craft of the media industry

I have enjoyed working with Mr. Shaffer for the past six years, as well as in other select markets. We have been very impressed with Mark’s ability to see a niche and fill it. Everything that he has approached us with has been an innovative idea that has been tackled with vivacious spirit, and our company has assumed the rewards for his efforts, as well as our investment into his marketing strategies. With so many choices facing businesses in terms of marketing, it is tough to decide where to spend. When Mark contacts us with new ideas and marketing solutions, we find ourselves open to his pitch, as historically it has paid off. We endorse Mark Shaffer and his endeavors and look forward to his next adventure, one we will surely be a part of.

I've known Mark Shaffer for almost three years. He has been a friend, confidant and business associate. He was the first person my wife and I met when we moved to the city. He gave us great insight into the our industry as well sound advice on how the town works from a business sense. Mark is a very smart business man and have witnessed him create very strong relationships with many vendors in the area including ourselves. He is an intelligent individual and a great leader with business sense and understands the inner workings of marketing a business. His magazines and websites have brought success to the business my wife and I established. He is an honest and caring individual who will make for a valuable asset to your company or organization. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Wow, where do I even begin? Advertising in MyVegas Magazine was a game-changer for my business, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my experience! Thanks to the amazing exposure and the engaging content of MyVegas, landed Tony Robbins as a client. Yes, you read that right--- THE Tony Robbins! The impact this magazine has had on my business is nothing short of phenomenal. If you're looking to elevate your brand and reach a high-caliber audience, this is the place to be. I'm grateful for the incredible doors that have opened as direct result of my advertising with MyVegas. Huge thanks to Mark for his vision and dedication. If you're ready to make a splash and see real results, MyVegas Magazine is the ticket!

I have worked in the community, both employed and self employed, for up to 20 years. I met Mark Shaffer more than 10 years ago. I watched Mark grow his profession in this community from inception to current. For as long as we both have been in business I have been a member and advertiser of his magazines. I am proud to say, that Mark Shaffer’s programs and advertisements are THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY. Not only respected highly by myself, but by every other colleague in the industry that I work with.

I've known Mark Shaffer up close and personal for nearly 15 years. He's always focused, upbeat, hard working, honest and has impeccable integrity. He's a role model father, grandfather and businessman and truly one of the greatest men I ever met. Over the years we've taken family trips and spent holidays together. Those of us who truly know him have no doubt that his unshakable faith is why he devotes each day of his life in service to his family, friends, employees, clients and community. Mark has inspired me to support and get personally involved in a few of the many charitable causes he supports such as 5K Walks in support against bullying. He also had me join him in attending meetings that help people recover, who are struggling with a wide range of addictions from drugs to gambling. Mark Shaffer is forever youthful, playful and loves to cause laughter while being a generous and many times an anonymous philanthropist supporting causes he cares about  and the church community. I love, respect and admire him deeply!

To me MyCity Magazine was the greatest opportunity I could ever have had! Not only for being my first job in the United States, but for also giving me the chance to explore and find my place to be. MyCity Magazine is definitely a business with room for growth! Starting as a Personal Assistant to Mark Shaffer, an awesome person to be around and learn from! And to exert the role as the company’s Webmaster today, I could not have ever asked for a better job! This company gives me a good reason to start my week in a good mood. Always a good place to be with people that really make a difference in my life, like family. Thank you Mark for being such an AMAZING boss and for always having a great mind and heart to overcome all obstacles, not letting any of your employees down. Teaching us something new each and everyday.
