Vendor Testimonials

I would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend Matson Sales Group, with Matt Weinberg and Jason Kovler as Principals, as a highly effective Manufacturer’s Representative Organization to obtain and manage meaningful programs and brand statements and both Brick and Mortar retailers as well as E-comm platforms………specifically Amazon. Matt Weinberg concentrates on the Brick and Mortar business, primarily covering the Northeastern US but has accounts all over the country, while Jason does a masterful job with Amazon. While based in Somerville, NJ, they cover a lot of ground and have a terrific support staff of analysts and administrators. I have worked with Matson for over 15 years and they have always been in contention or have won Rep Group or Sales Rep of the year Spanning my time at Swimway/SpinMaster and Blue Marble. Matt, Jason and the team are personable, professional and most importantly experts in their categories, mainly toys, but other categories as well. They are also great communicators. They take immense pride in what they do and making sure they dot every ‘I’ and cross every ‘T’ to insure accuracy, compliance and account growth and profitability. They have great relationships with their buying teams across all channels and make sure they are on top of their game in all that they do. If you are looking for representation to gain placement of your products at retail, again, I highly recommend Matson Sales.

It is with great respect and genuine gratitude that I write this testimonial for Matt Weinberg, his partner Jason Kovler, and their company, Matson Sales.

I have had the privilege of working with Matt and Jason for over 23 years, dating back to when their company was originally known as Almist Sales before becoming Matson Sales. From the very beginning, they played a pivotal role in shaping my career and my understanding of the toy industry. While I always had a natural talent for sales, I did not truly understand the intricacies, nuances, and dynamics of the toy retail business until I worked alongside them.

Matt and Jason patiently taught me the ins and outs of the industry—knowledge that became the foundation of my success. Their insight, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to this business made them not only exceptional partners but also trusted mentors. I can confidently say that much of my growth and accomplishments in this industry can be attributed to the time I spent learning from them. When it was time for me to move on from Spin Master & Swimways, I simply would not have made that move without them coming along with me to rep my new company Blue Marble. They build relationships and are relentless in the pursuit of growing the business.

Beyond their professional expertise, Matt and Jason are people of integrity, vision, and heart. Over the years, they have become very special to me, and I consider it a true privilege to call them both colleagues and friends. I wholeheartedly recommend Matson Sales, and I remain deeply appreciative of the lasting impact Matt Weinberg and Jason Kovler have had on both my career and my life.

Sincerely,

Blue Marble
