Due to the brand’s success, its network has grown large and it is still expanding. There’s never been a better time to take the franchise opportunities the company is offering.
Introducing the Company’s Services
Customers can bring their goods to one of the brand’s establishments to get them packed and shipped. They can request that their items be enclosed within custom-made boxes or crates, and they’re even able to choose which type of wrapping and tape is used. After this has been done, each client is able to choose between Mail Boxes Etc.’s reliable courier partners who can perform express deliveries on request.
In addition to this, the company’s trained professionals can expertly design, print and copy business cards, leaflets and flyers, letterheads and so on. The brand can also offer a mailbox and virtual office service. This enables customers or businesses to have a professional address separate from their real office or home.
