Starting Over: What I Wish I Knew Before Opening My Pack and Ship Store EP 24

[@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602]

Hey Winston, you have a very nice looking store and you've done an excellent job with the wall signage and branding! You seem like a very down to earth and humble guy. Keep hustling, you'll do great. I'd urge you to find some businesses around you like, real estate, title companies and get them coming into your store with frequent business for you and income! I'd also see how to target getting more people using your mailboxes as I have seen other similar businesses that are independents and they get something like 220-1000 mailboxes at anywhere from $20-$35 per box/per month and you'll have some regular stable income, I know the mailboxes are expensive, so only buy what you really need and then get demand up and then expand! All the best Winston, wishing you a great deal of success!

Yo Winston, thanks for the shoutout! You're right, I do only offer the package receiving service and dabble a bit in Pack and Ship (USPS only now) But you inspired me to get started with the passport photos, it seems like an easy service to add that can generate some nice revenue. Loving the content brother!

@@NapoleonSuarez passport photo is not a bad idea in your store 😉

Good Job and Beat Wishes for you

[@SpeedyPackNGo]

@sohailakram3313 thank you

[@ceejayLA]

Did you go into the business without any experience in the different services that you offer?

[@ericacha4580]

How much money do we need to start this kind of business?

[@SpeedyPackNGo]

depends on your location and rent. but to start up, you're looking at low 40k minimum initial investment

[@ShipArizona]

Very location dependent and how your own carpentry/handy skills can help with the build out of counters etc... I had to hire a licensed contractor to paint, modify a wall and put in counter tops. I spent $32k to get my doors open as a shipping & mail center.

[@SpeedyPackNGo]

@@ShipArizona wow, that's crazy cheap, compared to california.
