 | | Business Services Franchise | | | | About the Company &
Founders
In the early 1980's, PostNet's co-founders Steven Greenbaum,
President and CEO, and Brian Spindel, Executive Vice President and
COO, entered the mail and parcel industry in their early 20's; many
years before consumers would come to know the concept and its
benefits. After successfully owning and operating a number of
stores themselves, Greenbaum and Spindel decided to form an
independent development and consulting firm and assist others in
owning and operating their own businesses.
From 1985 to 1991, Greenbaum and Spindel led Consolidated Services
Corporation (COSERCO) to the development of over 400 independent
mail and parcel centers throughout the U.S. including locations in
Canada, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Interestingly enough, Greenbaum and
Spindel chose not to franchise in their early days. Their concept
was simple. Working from an established core of basic products and
services, they leveraged the experience and background of the owner
operator with the location, marketing message and brand to create a
unique product and servicing offering catering to consumer needs in
a particular market.
In the late 1980's in the United States, certain events in the mail
and parcel industry including their existing client's strong desire
to obtain the benefits of strength in numbers and a shared brand,
prompted PostNet's founders to explore methods of uniting their
independent group. After fully evaluating a number of different
approaches, Greenbaum and Spindel chose franchising and over the
next few years, developed the PostNet system and trademarks with a
global vision for the future. The PostNet system is unique in the
fact that it embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and many years of
experience of its founders within a solid and time tested business
model.
PostNet's franchise program was launched in July of 1993, initially
to a select group of clients that chose toconvert their independent
businesses to the PostNet brand, and ultimately to the general
public immediately thereafter. Since the company's inception,
PostNet has grown by approximately 100 centers per year to over 850
locations worldwide.
A significant factor in PostNet's success has been the company and
its management's ability to adapt and react to changes in the
marketplace, competition, and technology. PostNet has continually
led the industry in innovative solutions utilizing technology to
support point-of-sale operations, franchise system management, and
the development of new services and products. Another important
aspect of the company's success is its commitment to core values of
integrity and trust and unique ability to encourage, empower, and
inspire franchisees to actively participate in the
organization.
The PostNet
Concept
PostNet is a highly specialized service/convenience retail concept
that caters to consumers from all walks of life. In its humble
beginnings in the U.S., the concept served the general consumer and
occasional business person needing access to fundamental business
equipment. However, over time, the PostNet concept and system has
continually evolved to meet the growing needs of small to medium
sized businesses, traveling or regional business people, and of
course, the general consumer.
The PostNet business can be broken down into three distinct
areas:
Copy/Print/Document
Services
Unlike traditional copy/print shops, PostNet centers are digitally
enabled and ready to serve demanding consumers needs. PostNet
centers can scan, copy, or print just about anything and are fully
equipped to receive digital files for output in short runs or
volume quantities. PostNet also offers a broad range of output
options including black and white, color, and large format and
provides a host of finishing services to professionally complete
any project.
Post/Courier/Associated Products &
Services
PostNet centers are complimentary to local
postal services offering a host of related services and products
including parcel shipping, courier, packaging services and
supplies, private mailboxes, and postal services with companies
like United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (FedEx) and DHL.
PostNet's post, courier and associated products and services vary
depending on the country and local regulations.
Computer/Communication
Services
Busy consumers and traveling business people utilize PostNet's
fully integrated computer stations for high speed Internet access
and production of documents for output utilizing the latest
Microsoft Office products. PostNet centers are also equipped to
provide CDR burning and graphic services including digital imaging
where available.
Office Products &
Services
PostNet Centers carry a wide variety of quality office and mailing
supplies along with important services such as Passport Photos, Key
Duplication, Notary Public, Recruitment Services, Bulk
Mailing.
From its humble beginnings as a basic mail and parcel business the
PostNet concept has evolved into a full service small business and
general consumer resource center.
Master Franchise
Opportunities
As a PostNet master franchisee, an individual or company acquires
the right to develop PostNet in their respective country
(territory). The ideal master franchise candidate will have prior
business or franchising experience, be well capitalized to support
the endeavour, have local resources, and experience in personnel,
real estate, financial matters, training and education. Prior
franchising experience is not a requirement. What is essential is
an ambitious entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to the
same core values we embraced at PostNet Headquarters. Trust,
integrity, and quality are at the forefront of those values.
Revenues are generated from the sale of franchises and royalty fees
received by the master franchisee from every store in their
territory. PostNet provides complete training to the master
franchisee in franchising as a method of doing business, site
selection and lease negotiation, store development, how to provide
training for franchisees, and how to support and develop a
franchise system. In essence, the master franchisee becomes
the franchisor for their particular country with
the support and assistance of the PostNet management team.
PostNet also receives a minority share of the revenue generated in
the territory and in turn provides on-going training, support, and
operates as a business advisor for the term of the agreement.
