When the Supreme Court invalidated a tranche of Trump's tariffs last month, businesses around the country and world began clamoring for a refund. To date, 2,000 lawsuits from businesses seeking refunds have been filed, and reports estimate that the administration may owe $175 billion in refunds to the 300,000 entities that were slapped with the now-illegal tax. We talk about how local businesses are responding, the impact on consumers, and how despite this court ruling, tariffs are here to stay.

#759 What if a simple postcard could open the door to a full-blown, high-margin local marketing agency? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Dalton Joyner and Rachel Smith, founders of Big Sky Automation, to break down a simple (and surprisingly profitable) local-agency growth play: using shared direct-mail postcards as a “foot-in-the-door” offer that brings small businesses in fast — then upselling into higher-value services like web development, Google Business Profile optimization, and reputation management. Dalton and Rachel share their origin story, how they structure the postcard program, the exact tools they use to fulfill mailers through USPS EDDM, and how they keep execution simple with Canva and automation. They also reveal how they've turned the model into an online community that helps others launch the same business in their own towns! What we discuss with Dalton and Rachel: + Shared direct-mail postcards + Low-cost “foot-in-the-door” offers + Splitting postcard costs + USPS EDDM fulfillment + Local business lead generation + Upselling agency services + Google Business Profile optimization + Reputation management systems + High-margin postcard profits + Community-based agency model Thank you, Dalton and Rachel!
