This month, the Athens Community Theater in DeLand, Florida has put us in their spotlight that is reserved for Corporate Sponsorship's that supports the company. A quote from their webpage states "A typical performing arts theater derives 50% of its operating revenue from ticket sales. The remaining capital must come from grants and corporate sponsors." This is where MBI and other local companies fill the gap.  We want to thank the Athens Community Theater for putting us front and center and as always we are happy to be able to assist where and when we are able! 2013-04-03T17:10:40+00:00 http://www.mbidirectmail.com/index.php/site/an-mbi-milestone/ http://www.mbidirectmail.com/index.php/site/an-mbi-milestone/#When:19:39:06Z This year, more specifically this month, marks the 25th anniversary of MBI Direct Mail! What better way to celebrate this milestone than with an additional milestone to raise the bar of all our employees. This past week was the most productive week in the history of the company! Our staff worked day and night to ensure we kept to our 24 hour turnaround promise...and boy, did we deliver! This year is projected to be our biggest year yet! In planning for the workload, we have obtained newer equipment, the latest software and hired more employees from the community. We have become members of the prestigious Printers Association of Florida (PAF) and our in-house USPS workers have brought in some heavy equipment to help speed up the mailing process!

We want to thank everyone for not only their business, but also their trust and confidence that we will get the job done when the pressure is on. To our current customers, we thank you, and to our future clients, come see why we provide services that are better, faster, and cheaper than the competition.

MBI is proud to be included on this list and we look forward to moving up the ranks.
