ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Mark Carpenter is a serial storyteller. Even as a child, he loved to tell stories (mainly to get attention). He leveraged that ability into a career in marketing communications and public relations, then as a college professor and corporate facilitator.

Now, he teaches people how to more intentionally tell stories that teach, lead, sell, and inspire to accomplish business and personal goals. He is the co-author of the best-selling book “Master Storytelling: How to Turn Your Experiences Into Stories that Teach, Lead, and Inspire” and co-creator of the Master Storytelling Workshop. Leveraging a 20-year career in corporate communication, 10 years working as an adjunct professor of communication, and 15 years facilitating training, Mark couples a lively, engaging style with purposeful, impactful learning.

When he’s not training, speaking, coaching, or creating new content, Mark is likely hiking or snowshoeing in the mountains near his home in Utah, playing the piano, bragging about his grandchildren, or writing children's books.

When is the last time you used direct mail as part of your marketing strategy? It is an easy one to forget about with today's digital marketing-driven world.
Joy Gendusa, founder, and CEO of PostcardMania shares with us how using direct mail as a primary or complementary marketing strategy can be extremely beneficial.

Joy grew her business from a small startup in a tiny cottage in 1998 with only a phone, a computer and postcard marketing. That means no capital injections or financial backing of any kind.

And today, Joy has taken that small startup and turned it into an industry leader and Inc. 500 company. PostcardMania employs 286 people, has printed 1.8 BILLION postcards for businesses nationwide, has served over 95,116 businesses, generates over $60 million in annual revenue and now occupies a custom-built facility that stretches from street to street and spans over 60,000 square feet.

Joy regularly appears in various media outlets across the nation. Her marketing strategies and accomplishments are much sought-after and can be seen in the pages of Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc. Magazine and on stage at today's premier business growth and leadership seminars.

By the way, at the time of the original podcast interview recording, Big Sky Franchise Team had not worked with PostcardMania. Several weeks after the interview Big Sky ended up hiring PostcardMania for some marketing support and PostcardMania has asked Big Sky to help support with some of their growth initiatives too.
