Staying Ahead in an Ever Changing Sector
Mail Boxes Etc.
have introduced two brand new services to their stores to help franchisees
remain ahead of their competition. Auction Logistics and OneDrop Click and
Collect have been introduced as part of Mail
Boxes Etc.’s desire to develop innovative ways of working and provide
additional income streams for their franchisees.
The team at Mail
Boxes Etc. keep a close eye on trends and changes in the market, and use it
to their advantage by introducing new products and services that reflect
customer demands. Mail Boxes Etc. recently
joined forces with ATG Media in order to provide a one-click logistics service
for buyers who use thesaleroom.com for their auction items. Auction Logistics
provides an end to end service that allows buyers to see upcoming sales listed,
find the item they want (or have already purchased) and request a quote to
collect, pack, protect and deliver it. Having already provided worldwide
logistics to more than 2,000 auction houses, fine art dealers and antiques
specialists for a number of years, Mail
Boxes Etc. have enough expertise in this field to develop an efficient and
effective service.
Mail Boxes Etc.’s
OneDrop Click and Collect service has been developed as an evolution to their
mailbox services. OneDrop appeals to people who shop online but who want to pay
to have their internet shopping delivered to a single address to avoid missing
deliveries when they are out at work all day.
Both new services offer franchisees more ways of attracting
new customers and growing their business with existing customers. By innovating
in this way, Mail Boxes Etc. know
that they will continue to remain one step ahead of their competition and,
despite fluctuations in the economy, their franchisees will remain profitable.
“We’re extremely proud
of the way we innovate our business to make sure our franchisees retain their
position as industry leaders. In such a fast moving sector, it’s essential that
we consistently review and change the way we operate and the services we
provide. Many of our core services remain the same but, by adding new services,
we make sure that our franchisees’ customers are provided with a one-stop-shop
for everything they need,” explains
Heather Hannant, Head of Franchise Development.
