Midwest Direct

🎉 Celebrating 30 years of dedication at Midwest Direct! Today we're honoring an incredible milestone: Lynn Foster is retiring after nearly three decades with our company — 7,890 weekdays, to be exact, since she joined on April 22, 1996. Lynn has been part of our mailing services department since day one, bringing consistency, expertise, and heart to everything she's touched. Through countless USPS changes, process improvements, and industry shifts, Lynn has been a steadfast presence — the kind of person who shows up every day and makes the people around her better. At Midwest Direct, we talk a lot about our family culture and employee tenure — Lynn is exactly why. Careers like hers don't happen by accident; they happen because people feel valued, supported, and like they belong. Congratulations, Lynn, on an incredible career. You will be deeply missed by all of us. Enjoy this well-earned next chapter! 💙 #Retirement #EmployeeSpotlight #MidwestDirect #FamilyBusiness #29Years

Field Trip: Approved ✅ Our finance and accounting team closed the books early on Friday and headed to the Great Lakes Science Museum for some much-needed R&D (Recreation & Debriefing) — including the Titanic exhibit and IMAX film, artifacts and all. Turns out we're just as good at reading historical artifacts as we are at reading a balance sheet — though there was a brief internal audit when someone asked if the ship's manifest reconciled. (It did not. We still enjoyed it.) A few key variances from a normal Friday: 📊 Zero spreadsheets reconciled 🚢 One unsinkable ship, fully depreciated 🌮 Chips and queso expensed under "team morale" (fully justified, no receipts needed... okay, we kept the receipts, we're accountants) Another reason Cleveland is awesome — world-class exhibits, a killer skyline, and a team that knows how to make the most of it. At Midwest Direct, caring and teamwork are two of our core values — and this team doesn't just book it, they live it. John Nousek, CPA, CMA, MBA, Kayti Borisa, Sue Fletcher, Morisa Ivory, Autumn Miller Debits: memories. Credits: friendship. Net income: immeasurable. 💙 #MidwestDirect #TeamCulture #AccountingHumor #ClevelandProud #CloseTheBooksNotTheFriendships

🎉 Summer Luncheon vibes at Midwest Direct! Once a month, we shut down the floor (well, kind of 😄) and celebrate the people who make it all happen. Today's Summer Luncheon did not disappoint — red-checked table cloths, Apple Spice box lunches and brand new MWD tees for everyone for the win!! A huge shoutout to our Postal Pals for organizing these luncheons month after month. You put so much heart into making our team feel seen and appreciated — and it shows. 💙 Kelsey Iverson, Danielle Spahn, Kayti Borisa & Jo Ochenduski & Mandy Gebbie Clayton. At Midwest Direct, our people aren't just employees — they're family. And moments like these are exactly why we love showing up every day. #MidwestDirect #EmployeeAppreciation #TeamMWD #CompanyCulture #ClevelandProud #DirectMail #FamilyBusiness #PostalPals

🧐 Marketing myth: Direct mail is outdated. Reality: When paired with digital, direct mail drives higher response and stronger brand recall. Smart marketers use both. #MarketingMyths #DirectMailWorks
