Franchise Information - Goin' Postal

Why to invest?

Our Flexibility. You will be given a lot of flexibility in how you run your store. Being in business is meant to be fun, and it’s no fun to have a massive faceless corporation breathing down your neck every moment of every day. Goin’ Postal isn’t like that, and never will be, no matter how large we become. We provide the opportunity to offer a variety of shipping services and will do everything in our power to help you to offer all of the services that you wish to offer in your store. Our stores not only offer the standard large carriers but also have the opportunity to use local reginal carriers when available. These local carriers can provide one more tool to ensure you are never left without a solution for your customers if one carrier is unavailable for any reason.

THE MIDI. are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

What are Goin’ Postal’s greatest assets?

The name. With its mixture of humor and direct description of what we do, it has become an invaluable asset to the expanding scope of our business. While 99% of people love the name…NO ONE EVER FORGETS IT! Add that to our management, drive, ambition and creative ability and we are a force to be reckoned with. We are a dynamic team dedicated to the success of EVERY MEMBER of our business family. Our drive is apparent just from looking at the growth of our chain compared to everyone else. Our approach to customer care, whether that be a franchisee or customer entrusting us to ship their packages. We strive to approach each customer as an opportunity to exceed their expectations. We are fully aware that a business that does not value its customers won't be a business for long. As a Goin' Postal franchisee you should too. At our stores we provide all of our customers with friendly service combined with professional skills and the lowest rates, all in a polished corporate atmosphere.

A multitude of other products and services. Our stores offer everything from shipping to ink & toner and document services to office supplies and more. We understand that not all areas and franchisees are created equally. Some areas with smaller population centers may require more diversification in your offerings than others. Luckily Goin' Postal's wide ranging list of pre-approved products and services allow you to tailor what your store provides to what your community needs. In doing so we allow you to be an entrepreneur, making decisions that will give your store a personality that can match that of you and your customers. We also test our products and services! We are the only major chain with a main company store where we test products and services before they are released to our franchisees. We don’t believe in letting our franchisees be guinea pigs for our ideas so we test everything before they ever see them.

Why is Goin’ Postal the fastest growing shipping chain?

We have a business model that is more successful than our competitors, yet we help our franchisees establish their stores for a small fraction of the cost. If you take the investment required to open one of the other franchises and compare it with ours, there is no competition (and that is what is scaring our competitors….). While there is no way to take a competitor like The UPS Store or PostNet to a small town because of the higher investment, our stores can open in much smaller markets and still be highly profitable due to the low overhead. With our business model (low upfront and ongoing expenses) we are able to open successful stores in many more markets than our competitors, and still leave our franchisees with more profit in their pocket at the end of the year. We also strive to make our franchisees happy and productive members of our chain. While other large chains have major morale problems, we try to turn around any issues very quickly to maintain a positive direction for the company. A testament to our success is how our franchisees get their families and friends involved in opening stores so they can share their success. Satisfied franchisees truly are the backbone of the franchise and are also very important to the growth of the chain. To maintain our low-cost model we don't splurge on high dollar marketing campaigns to sell franchises. Referrals from existing store owners are our primary source for new franchisees and growth. If we don't take care of franchisees, we can't expect for them to take care of us.

Also, unlike other chains, we don’t have an endless line of committees for you to go through to get something done. Every franchisee has our direct contact info and the cell of at least one of our management to have a direct line to a solution.

Goin` Postal Differentiator

• Amazing customer service (see above).
• Attention to detail.
• A family business attitude.
• Super name, logo and recognition within the industry.
• As a small organization, we adapt quickly to changes in the marketplace.
• As part of our business building practices, we are constantly developing new products and services that are only available through our direct retailing in our stores and on our websites.
• Currently the initial investment required to open a Goin’ Postal is approximately 25% of our competitors’ shipping stores. Our business model is designed to allow you to open a store with the minimum out of pocket investment and to let the business pay for its own expansion.
• Unlike the other large franchise operations, we are in the shipping business, not just in the business of selling franchises. Our goal is to own and run a chain of shipping stores, not just sell the logo on the front of the building and take a step back.

• But most important of all is the flexibility that you will enjoy with Goin’ Postal. Within the boundaries of our established guidelines and rules which serve to protect and preserve the Goin’ Postal name, our trademarks, and our corporate identity, you will have tremendous freedom in running your store and deciding the products and services you intend to offer.
• Our multi-carrier shipping POS system is the only solution in the franchised retail shipping industry that is both created and supported by the franchisor. This allows our software developers and support staff to provide end to end support that no other franchisor can claim to provide, not even the UPS Store.
• Superb continuing education materials, support, guidance, access to our creative promotions staff, and assistance from the entire caring, professional GP Brands staff. You are NEVER “released into the wild” and left to fend for yourself with Goin’ Postal. We are here for you, as your behind-the-scenes team to cheer you on and to help you to succeed every step of the way for the duration of your term as a Goin’ Postal franchisee. Your success is our success, and we take that success very seriously.
• With our nationwide brand recognition, why would anyone pay over a quarter of a million dollars or more for exactly the same thing they can achieve with a Goin’ Postal store for a fraction of the price?

What are our plans for the future?

• Further investment in our systems, in both the software and process domain. These improvements allow us to streamline and improve the shipping business. These systems are all available to all Goin’ Postal stores.
• Rapid expansion of the chain, building additional equity and profits for current store owners.
• New services and businesses under the Goin’ Postal brand.
• Continue leveraging the chains size to increase buying power for shipping services, packaging, office supplies, and more.
• Future expansion plans that no other shipping store currently has, or will be able to compete with.
