Postcard Marketing Company Helps Catapult Businesses onto National Top Business Expansion Lists
Direct Mail Marketing Firm, PostcardMania, commits to helping its clients expand and appear on major business expansion lists nationwide - like the Inc 500 and the Entrepreneur Hot 100 - using direct mail as the lead marketing medium.
Clearwater, FL, April 16, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Each year, Inc. magazine produces the Inc. 500, a list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. For two and a half decades, membership in the Inc. 500 has been the benchmark of excellence among America's best growth companies. Leaders such as Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Ellison of Oracle, and Joe Mansueto of Morningstar, and companies ranging from Domino's Pizza to Timberland all first gained renown as members of the Inc. 500.
In 2005, direct mail postcards helped PostcardMania secure a place on the list of fastest growing privately owned companies in the US. By advising their customers to mail direct mail postcards out consistently and in volume in order to increase income, one client took that advice and by 2006 their postcard mailings propelled them to that elite list. That company, The Kitchen Guild appeared on the list at number 332 with a three-year growth of 408.8%. They have been a PostcardMania client since 2002, but have been consistently and aggressively increasing their direct mail efforts each year since mid 2004.
The 2005/2006 MarketingSherpa, Inc. report stated that direct mail accounted for an estimated $58.7 billion dollars worth of US Annual Offline Ad Expenditures. And in a 2006 survey by the United States Postal Service, 39% of households find advertising mail interesting, compared with 9% for email advertising and 3% for telemarketing. With those statistics, direct mail appears to be a successful promotional tool.
Supporting those statistics, Kitchen Guild’s CEO Jim McCoy said that direct mail postcards became their lead medium in 2004 because of its predictability in nature. He mails 54,000 direct mail postcards out each week to a highly targeted mailing list.
Another client of PostcardMania’s, Measurable Solutions Inc., a national business consulting firm for Physical Therapists uses direct mail postcards to boost their revenue year after year. Measurable Solutions Inc. made the Entrepreneur Hot List in 2005 as one of the fastest growing new businesses in America. Measurable Solutions Inc. mails out approximately 30,000 postcards per week and their direct mail efforts have a beefy return on investment (ROI) of 8x what they spend. PostcardMania mails out 90,000 postcards per week on their own behalf with an even beefier ROI of 11x. PostcardMania CEO, Joy Gendusa, claims that by increasing one’s direct mail efforts, one’s expansion will follow suit. Measurable Solutions Inc. and Kitchen Guild agree it is an empirical fact.
“PostcardMania has been an important contributor to our growth and success at The Kitchen Guild,” said owner of Kitchen Guild, Jim McCoy. “Their expertise in marketing, their commitment to their clients’ growth is a rare quality in business today. Since mid-2004, PostcardMania has been an integral part of our success – I cannot imagine that we would be where we are without them."
