The
PostNet Concept, Customers & Locations
PostNet
offers an array of high demand services
and products tailored to meet the needs
of small business owners and today's
busy residential consumer. PostNet
helps the small office, home office
and small business owners get what they
need, when they need it, and where they
need it. This customer segment is mainly
serviced in business centers, hotel
lobbies, convention centers and airports.
At the same time PostNet caters
to the general consumer offering a host
of products and services to help them
complete their personal business, copy
and shipping needs quickly and efficiently
in neighborhood, strip mall and convenience
store areas.
50
percent of a PostNet store's
revenue is business related, a core differentiating
factor from local competitors. The benefit
is simple. Close customer relations, where
ongoing needs and opportunity for repeat
business exist, creates franchisee peace
of mind and an organized working environment.
Market
Development Opportunity
The
Canadian franchise lead flow for PostNet
has been similar to trends in the U.S.
over the years and brand recognition has
steadily increased due to strong network
growth along the U.S./Canada border. PostNet
anticipates a fast spurt in franchise
network development in Canada which will
be greatly assisted by the U.S. headquarters
in terms of franchisee training, tools
and resources.
Master
Franchise Training
|
A
master franchisee will be trained
for two to four weeks at headquarters.
A pilot store will then be opened
with headquarter assistance in terms
of site selection, lease, store
design and construction. This store
will serve as an ongoing test location
and training facility and will be
closely monitored and analyzed in
a joint effort to ensure ongoing
improvements and the implementation
of products and concepts needed
by customers in an ever changing
business environment. A great deal
of planning goes into a market launch
and this is achieved through close
cooperation with the head office.
Regular in-country master franchise
consulting follows thereafter. PostNet
is fully engaged in the entire start
up phase providing years of expertise,
technological tools and resources.
During the course of the training
program the master franchisee not
only benefits from 20 years of expertise
from the U.S. headquarters but also
a combined 40 years of master franchise
experience from around the world. |

Training
modules on virtually every aspect of the
PostNet business are available
at the PostNet Online University
and Franchisee Web.
Master
franchisees from around the globe meet
on an annual basis at the PostNet
convention to discuss new developments
and strategize for the future. Special
seminars and workshops are also available
at these meetings to provide training
on new tools and requirements.
