PostcardMania, the Clearwater-based direct-mail marketing firm that has won numerous accolades as a woman-owned business, is looking for others like it by way of a contest.
The one question contest entrants have to answer is “How do you make owning a business fabulous?”
The contest, aimed at women who successfully balance work and life, is being held as part of Women's Small Business Month in October, with online voting extended to Nov. 12 at postcardmania.com/fabulous. The winner will receive more than $5,000 worth of free marketing, a three-month subscription to ShoeDazzle.com and a Rebecca Minkoff handbag.
Joy Gendusa, PostcardMania founder and CEO, says the contest is a way to support women business owners, not just along the Gulf Coast but nationwide. “We wanted it to be more than just marketing help, though,” she says. “We wanted it to be personal, too.”
The contest is free. Entrants must be in business for at least two years, post at least $50,000 in annual revenues and be majority owned by a woman.
“This is a way for us to give back to women business owners on a large scale,” Gendusa says. “Plus, they get fabulous shoes.”
