1. Do I need a business license to open a courier station?
Opening a courier station is very simple, and you don't need to apply for a business license. But for the sake of insurance, some webmasters will still go to the Postal Administration for the record. In principle, different regions have different requirements, and so do applications. Novice friends are advised to know the local policies in advance and make preparations in advance to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Second, what are the costs of joining the courier station?
The cost of express delivery station mainly involves three aspects: joining fee, store rent and store equipment purchase. Many post offices use the slogan of zero franchise fee, essentially for the sake of "bonus hunter". Therefore, when choosing to join a brand, novices must keep their eyes open and do more investigation and comparison.
Equipment mainly covers shelves, computers, monitors, printers and so on. Personally, I suggest buying it online or in the second-hand market. The price is relatively cheap and the quality is acceptable.
As a novice, the less the investment cost, the better. After all, starting a business is risky, and no one knows what will happen later.
3. What business models can the station stack?
When the business of the post station stabilizes, it is still necessary to deeply consider the combination of the post station and other business models to realize the realization of the flow of people.
1, community group purchase. This is a common mode at present. You can apply for group buying platforms as team leaders. Users place orders online and deliver goods to customers through the post station, from which the post station can earn a little service fee.
2. convenience store. The post station can easily obtain the flow of people, and the post station and the convenience store are opened together, and the basic daily necessities are configured according to the daily purchase needs of the residents in the community, so as to transform the passenger flow of goods delivery and obtain the sales income of goods;
3. Business district advertisements. When there is more traffic in the newly opened post station, you can consider advertising in the business circle. You can talk about cooperation with nearby restaurants, hotels and gyms. The types of advertisements include posters, Yi Labao and light box advertisements.
