Despite Economy Direct Mail Postcard Company Hits #40 on Tampa Bay’s Fast 50 List

Despite the economy, PostcardMania made the Fast 50 List, 3rd year in a row – the most sought-after business list of the Tampa Bay Business Journal – featuring the fastest-growing privately held companies in the area.

Clearwater, FL, September 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Tampa Bay Business Journal feted PostcardMania among 49 others at their annual awards luncheon last week for making the Fast 50 List – the list of the fifty fastest-growing privately-held companies in Tampa Bay. PostcardMania made #40 on the list for its 41% growth, the ranking based upon the percentage of annual growth over a three-year period (2005, 2006 & 2007). The financial verification process was done by the accounting firm, Kirkland, Russ, Murphy & Tapp.

Joy Gendusa, a sought-after marketing expert, bootstrapped her way to success in the spirit of true entrepreneurialism, creating PostcardMania – the fastest growing direct mail postcard marketing firm in the nation, recognized nationally by Inc Magazine. Joy began PostcardMania in 1998 with no capital injections of any kind, only a computer and a phone. Almost ten years later, Joy is still sole owner of the Clearwater, Fla. firm that boasts revenues of nearly 19 million dollars. Gendusa’s story lies in how she did it:

1) without a formal education,
2) never taking a dime of investment capital and
3) by using only direct mail to grow her company in its formative years.

The story of her success was recorded in a one-hour interview, exclusively for aspiring entrepreneurs to help them grow their own businesses and can be heard at http://www.postcardmania.com/marketing-articles/marketing-audio/interviews/
