Press Release Summary = America’s fastest growing postcard marketing company, PostcardMania, is among brand-name companies nestled in the Gulf Coast area, one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States.
Press Release Body = Clearwater, FL, July 11, 2007—The Sunbelt region has been growing at a remarkable rate in the last several years, and according to CNNMoney.com, will be the best area for fast-growing job markets through 2015. When narrowing down to the state level, Wikipedia has Tampa - St. Petersburg listed as one of the three Florida cities in the twenty-one cities important to the Sunbelt region of the USA. So it should not come as a shock that Florida’s Gulf Coast is harboring logos that flash on television, radio and print in perpetuum.
The Gulf Coast Business Review\'s super-sized ranking of the Gulf Coast\'s top companies grew from 250 companies in 2006 to 400 companies in 2007. Some such names on this year’s Gulf Coast 400 are audio giant Jabil Circuit Inc. (JBL), financial planning behemoth Raymond James Financial Inc., fast food bigwig Checker’s/Rally’s and direct mail master PostcardMania. All companies were tanked by 2006 revenue (in millions).
PostcardMania was founded by owner and CEO Joy Gendusa just 9 years ago, and hit the list at number 296 with 31.3% change in revenue between 2005 and 2006. Since 2005, the firm has been on the fast track, winning the prestigious Inc. 500 list as one of the fastest-growing privately-held companies in the USA in 2005.
Tampa Bay is the prime location for this woman-owned, marketing company according to Pink Magazine which rates the Tampa-St. Petersburg bay area number 3 on the list of “Top 10 Metro Areas with Fastest Growth in Majority Women-Owned Firms”.
\"Tampa Bay is a growing medium-sized market with a lot of opportunity,\" said Gendusa. \" More people are coming into this area looking for opportunity - which gives employers like me a great opportunity to hire competent people that are willing to get the job done.\"
