Postal services opportunity. You can choose your store’s name, its equipment, and furnishings.
Packing And Mailing...
is the core of your business.� As simple as this may seem, it's what forms the nucleus of your operation and brings in the majority of your customers.
What You Do?
Just like the post office, you supply stamps; but in addition, you provide envelopes, cartons, packaging materials, and more.�� You offer custom/specialty packaging services, enabling the customer to simply bring in the item to be shipped.��
You do the work for them, and you make money.
What we do?
The advantage of launching your P.A.S.S. store is that we have already completed the hardest tasks for you:�finding a way to fulfill a need; learning how to market that concept; finding the proper suppliers; knowing what to charge; and obtaining the necessary skills.� You don't need to spend years and many thousands of dollars learning what works and what doesn't. You can get right to the job of running your own business.
Fulfilling A Need
The only way to succeed in business is to satisfy a need.� But identifying the right need is not easy.� For some, the market may be too small to lead to profitability.� Or there may be obstacles that aren't apparent until it's too late.� Your P.A.S.S. store eliminates this concern.
Marketing the Concept
How much advertising is enough?� What media works best?� What groups should you target?� What services do they want?�� These are the questions we can answer.� There's no need to waste money experimenting.� We'll help you make informed decisions.
Finding The Right Suppliers
Obtaining quality materials at fair prices is crucial to the success of your business.� We offer national discounts from our suppliers.� We'll show you where to go, what to buy, and how much you should pay.
There aren't really any secrets to success in business. The time-proven formula of offering a quality product at a fair price with outstanding service is what will make a P.A.S.S.
