Franchise Spotlight: Mail and Courier

Franchising offers a robust business model in the competitive Mail and Courier sector.

With an estimated total annual revenue of $2billion in the United States (Ibis World), the packing and shipping services industry offers a range of franchise options to those looking to invest in this market. Typically, mail and courier franchises will collect, pack, sort, transport and deliver parcels, letters and a wealth of other specialist items. They range from single to high-volume orders from both individuals and businesses.

Some businesses have diversified their services to offer labelling, mailbox rentals, document shredding, as well as printing and faxing. Technological advances, such as GPS and parcel tracking and updating for customers, have increased the need for efficiency and effectiveness in this industry, as consumer expectations are high.

The number of consumers shopping and ordering products online continues to grow and worldwide retail e-commerce sales are predicted to reach over $6trillion by 2023 (Statista). With more people ordering online there is an increased need for fast, affordable, safe delivery services - making the mail and courier industry a lucrative sector to enter.

For franchisees interested in managing their own store, a franchise in UPS, arguably one of the best-known courier brand names, has a range of location options available. Taking advantage of the boom in online retail, World Options franchisees find new customers who desire online shipping services and direct them to the World Options portal.
