Local Direct Mail Company Among Fastest Growing For 3rd Straight Year
DK Solutions is among the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the US for 3rd year running, and the 56th fastest in NJ.
Inc. Magazine has named East Brunswick direct mail company DK Solutions as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies for its third consecutive year. This marketing company ranks number 56 within NJ-based companies and number 2,017 on the national Inc. 5000 list.
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Joel Dickstein was especially enthusiastic about what an Inc. 5000 ranking suggests for the future of DK Solutions, “Last year I said it would be great to have a ‘Three-peat’ and it is indeed a ‘Three-peat’.”
Beginning in 1982, Inc. Business Media created the Inc. 500, a list of the top 500 fastest-growing private companies within the United States. This list would later expand in 2007 to include up to 5000 companies and featured many successful businesses over the years, including Microsoft, Chobani, and Timberland.

“I am incredibly proud of the hard work our team at DK Solutions has done to get to one of the top 5000 fastest growing small businesses in the U.S. three years in a row. Thank you Inc Magazine for honoring us once again.” stated Dickstein.
To qualify for the 2024 list, companies had to earn a minimum of $100,000 in revenue in 2020 and a minimum of $2 million in 2023. Inc. Magazine then ranks the top 5,000 best performing businesses that fall into those criteria.

This year, the combined revenue of all 5000 companies reached $317.1 billion, with a combined 208% median growth. There are 500 newly founded companies on the 2024 list and 874,940 jobs added by honorees.
Only 10% of Inc 5000 inductees have made the list three times, and even fewer have accomplished that feat in three consecutive years.
“It just goes to prove, direct mail marketing is still doing great in 2024,” said Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Liran Kapoano. “And that in my mind is a vindication not just of the medium, but our approach to it specifically. Many businesses wrote off direct mail almost 20 years ago. But it’s our team’s execution that enables us to thrive. And that’s what we’re doing every day.”
Founded in 2015, DK Solutions has been revolutionizing the direct mail industry with a focus on reducing direct mail waste and leveraging data for better and more profitable lead generation. Co-founders Dickstein and Kapoano have been utilizing their proprietary TargetList methodology to identify ideal prospects for their clients, which then lowers costs per lead, while also increasing sales conversions rates and revenue per unit.
The Inc 5000 is only one of the several milestones the company has met this year. Along with its upcoming 10th anniversary, the company is also celebrating its three-year partnership with One Tree Planted.
This year, DK Solutions contributed over 1,800 trees in Hawaii as part of its Annual Tree Planting Program Initiative.
“We chose Hawaii for a variety of reasons,” Kapoano said, “Not only is it arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world, but it’s also a place that is prone to wildfires. Not just from terrible freak events like what happened on Maui in 2023, but also from natural volcanic activity.”
From helping reforestation efforts to generating profitable leads with direct mail, DK Solutions is carving out a niche for itself in today’s highly competitive marketing landscape. With so much accomplished in just under a decade, both founders are looking to the future with optimism and determination.
Inc. Magazine will host its 2024 Conference and Awards Ceremony from October 16 through October 18 in Palm Desert, California to celebrate this year’s honorees. The conference will star several guest speakers and events for guests that will conclude with a black-tie gala in the evening.
