Florida-Based Woman Entrepreneur Builds New Headquarters Midst Downturn in State’s Economy

PostcardMania, known as one of the fastest growing direct mail postcard marketing companies in the nation continues to expand despite economy and brings more jobs into the Tampa Bay area.

 

Clearwater, FL, October 23, 2007 – Joy Gendusa, CEO and Founder of PostcardMania announced today that the groundbreaking for her new 23,000 square foot headquarters building will be Tuesday, October 30th from 11:30am – 12:30pm at the site where their new building will be built: 2145 Sunnydale Blvd in Clearwater Florida.  The direct mail marketing firm started only eight years ago and although Gendusa claims it was tough at times, the woman entrepreneur managed to expand her firm into a multi-million-dollar enterprise rapidly with no capital injections in a male dominated industry.

 

Despite Florida’s home sales, retail sales and domestic immigration declining, Gendusa says she is determined to succeed.  Her firm, which prints 4 million and mails 2 million postcards representing over 350 business, finance and industrial clients each week, has been expanding its revenue every year since it started and creating more jobs for the Tampa Bay area.

 

The motif behind her new headquarters is to inspire her employees and create for them a home away from home. Some of the home-like amenities include a gym, nursery, lounge areas and a health-food cafeteria. The overall design is intended to give the people of Postcard Mania a fun, creative and high energy workplace that is highly motivating.

 

“We succeed when we help companies expand through direct mail marketing techniques,” said Gendusa. “This building represents the businesses we help grow.”

 

The groundbreaking will be held from 11:30am – 12:30pm on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 at the site where their new building will be built: 2145 Sunnydale Blvd in Clearwater, Florida.
