PostcardMania honored as one of Gulf Coast’s top companies

PostcardMania was honored recently as one of the Gulf Coast’s top companies by the Gulf Coast Business Review’s super-Gulf Coast 500 List.

The Gulf Coast Business Review recently published its annual rankings of the largest companies on the Gulf Coast in their Gulf Coast 500 List – naming PostcardMania again for the second year in a row.  After publishing smaller rankings of the largest companies on the Gulf Coast for the past few years, this year the Review presented a list that matched the economic size of the region, from Tampa Bay to Naples.  All of the companies were ranked by 2007 revenue (in millions).

 

Joy Gendusa, Founder and CEO of PostcardMania, bootstrapped her way to success in the spirit of true entrepreneurialism, creating PostcardMania in June of 1998 and quickly becoming the fastest growing direct mail postcard marketing firm in the nation, recognized nationally by Inc Magazine by 2005. 

 

But having PostcardMania handle the direct mailing needs of 31,000+ customers in over 350 industries nationwide wasn’t enough for Gendusa.  She decided to set up a division within her company with the sole purpose of handling pro-bono work for non-profit organizations – the only stipulation being that these organizations have the purpose of assisting mankind to improve his lot and make the world a better place.  In sync with this, PostcardMania now donates the design, printing and mailing services of hundreds of thousands of direct mail postcards for non-profit charities all over the country. 

 

 “Because of our success, PostcardMania is now in a position to help organizations that would otherwise not have the funds to promote their events or raise awareness for their causes,” said Gendusa, “and that is one of the things that makes it so worthwhile for me.” 

 

PostcardMania was ranked number 300 on the Gulf Coast 500 List with 2007 revenues at $18.81 million.
