1976 | A Newfound Passion

After serving in the Air Force in California, John Wendorff returned home to Kansas City and sold cars part-time while studying to be an accountant. He soon discovered his passion was in sales and went to work for a business forms printer.

1978 | TPMCO Is Born

After developing a lucrative accounting system for ERA Real Estate, The Personal Marketing Company (TPMCO) is established in suburban Kansas City. All newsletter production is done by a publishing company in Houston.

1980 | A Big Move

TPMCO moves the print production from Houston to Overland Park, KS, and sets up a small office with an IBM electric typewriter. Customer orders are processed by a local computer programmer.

1983 | Progress Creates Success

Investing in a portable personal computer (PC), customer software (TIM) and a dot-matrix printer enables the company to run its own production lists.

With the launch of TPMCO.com, version one, the onboarding of their first CRM, and online ordering and fulfillment, the company embraces technology and the instant benefits it brings customers.

2008 I Mailing Lists Make a Difference

Customers are able to upload their client mailing lists to their TPMCO account, making it easy and efficient to create automated campaigns.

2022 I Moving at the Speed of Real Estate

Today | Building the Future

Although ever-evolving technology has introduced many digital marketing options over the years, TPMCO’s faith in direct mail products hasn’t wavered — there’s just something special about receiving mail with your name on it.
