PostcardMania's answer

In 1998, Founder and CEO Joy Gendusa started her own postcard printing business in Clearwater, FL inside a small 600-square foot cottage with just a computer and her own marketing savvy. The idea started after Joy personally experienced a customer service nightmare with another printer that put its own phone number on her mailers. Joy vowed to never do the same, and realized she could do everything that company provided her — but better — and thus PostcardMania was born. PostcardMania quickly began growing, and in 2005, Joy needed to set herself apart from larger direct mail companies that had begun to replicate her business model. She saw PostcardMania as headed for commoditization, so she did a quick course correction and created more value — a campaign results department that tracks and shares marketing success stories with businesses in order to help them succeed and shortcut what can be a costly trial-and-error period. PostcardMania's unique approach to results-based campaigns has helped the company continue to grow year after year, despite an overall contraction in the print industry. Today PostcardMania is a $97 million-dollar company with over 350 staff and serves more than 113,000 businesses. PostcardMania’s annual revenue has grown at an average of 20% year over year since 2019, following a decade of averaging 5% growth.
