Press Release Summary = Tampa Bay is growing increasingly as witnessed by the Fast
50 companies honored by the Tampa Bay Biz Journal at their Fast 50 Annual luncheon -
billions of dollars of revenue is being generated in Tampa Bay.

Press Release Body = Clearwater, FL, August 3, 2007 - Just days ago the Tampa Bay
Business Journal released its annual "Fast Fifty" - the veritable list of the
fastest-growing companies in the Tampa Bay area. PostcardMania, a direct mail
postcard marketing firm based in Clearwater, landed the list at no. 24 -- their 2nd
year in a row to make the list as one of the 50 Tampa Bay companies contributing to
the area's growth.

Stuart Rogel, the Chair of the Tampa Bay Partnership spoke at the luncheon,
congratulating the companies on their expansion quoting certain collected statistics
about the region. Just over the past 5 years, Tampa Bay has created more net new
jobs (217,700) than Atlanta, Charlotte Dallas, Jacksonville, and Raleigh-Durham
combined. Nearly 15 years ago, the region had 3 million people. This spring, the
area went over the 4 million mark - another stellar statistic in growth. Tampa Bay
is now the 12th largest media market in the country.

The Fast 50 Companies are in industries from animals to electricity: Extensys Inc.
at no. one; Power Design at no. 7; Lifestyle Family Fitness at no. 10; Sharn
Veterinary at no. 14; on down to Quality Plywood Specialists, Inc. at no. 50. Even
the 50th company on the list made 22.2 million in revenue in 2006 with a 25.5%
change from 2004 - 2006.

Joy Gendusa, CEO of PostcardMania and also an Executive Board Member of the
Clearwater Downtown Partnership said she loves being a part of an area that is
growing so rapidly. "It's exciting working on Clearwater's redevelopment - both from
a personal and business perspective."
