PDA Marketing Receives Certification as a Small Business Enterprise

PDA Marketing, in Baltimore, Maryland, was recently certified as a Small Business Enterprise by the state of Maryland. This recognition follows closely behind their recertification as both a MBE/DBE and WBE business. PDA specializes in online and offline marketing. Their services include web development, search engine optimization, social media marketing, direct mail, creative services, and sale management. The nationally acclaimed Deliver magazine featured PDA Marketing’s direct mail and design tool, Doodle-opes, in their October 2010 issue.

“Because PDA Marketing is a small business, we are able to provide personalized attention to each client. Professional, pleasant and willing, we take each project personally. Our clients' concerns and issues become our concerns and issues, because our success depends on our clients' success," remarks Andrea Ratajczak, vice-president of PDA Marketing. PDA has partnered with many federal, state, and local entities including: The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, The Maryland State Highway Administration, and Baltimore County Public Schools, as well as many urban business communities designated as Retail Business District License Areas. Additionally, PDA’s creative team develops product packaging for online and offline use.

Maryland government defines a small business as a for-profit company independently owned and operated and not managed by a larger business. The number of employees and gross sales of the company applying for Small Business Certification are carefully examined to ensure that they do not exceed the specific requirements. Because business information can change rapidly, businesses must be recertified as a Small Business Enterprise every year. Despite these strict requirements, a company undeniably benefits as a small business. Over twenty Maryland state agencies are required to award at least ten percent of their contracts to small businesses. A small business wins one of these contracts by being the lowest bidder. Only certified small businesses are eligible to receive small business procurement dollars. This ensures that at least 10% of these federal agencies’ procurement dollars are going to qualified small businesses.
