Franchise opportunities available across the UK
The first UK PACK & SEND service centre opened in 2009 and the business has grown every year; they’ve worked closely with their franchise partners to hone their business and reach new heights of success.
PACK & SEND Franchise partners benefit from high gross margins and high average transaction values and are experiencing strong annual growth.
PACK & SEND has a unique company profile, and position, within the multibillion-pound logistics industry. They specialise in packing and shipping large, fragile, valuable, or awkwardly shaped items that other courier suppliers and freight companies are typically not equipped to deal with.
Their pursuit of this growing niche market means a significant proportion of their business comes from referrals from other carriers who do not have the infrastructure to provide personalised packaging and freight solutions in the same way that PACK & SEND can.
Why Choose PACK & SEND?
All their franchise partners benefit from high gross margins and high average transaction values and are experiencing ongoing strong annual growth as their businesses win a constant stream of new customers on top of the ever-growing base of repeat customers.
Their expertise and reputation for packing large, valuable, and fragile items makes us the go-to service provider when shipping items such as antiques, artwork, musical instruments and electronic equipment. Depending on the client’s requirements, goods are sent via road, air, or sea freight to locations anywhere in the world.
Franchise partners operate from a network of retail service centres that are located in secondary high street locations, ensuring high visibility and convenience for customers without high rents.
The unique PACK & SEND customer proposition
The logistics market is highly competitive but the vast majority of operators offer the same old basic shipping services for pre-packed items with minimal customer service.
This is where PACK & SEND is different. They offer carefully planned packing and shipping solutions and take responsibility for making sure that customers’ goods arrive safely at their destination. In return, their customers appreciate the care and attention provided and recognise the value of their services rather than simply chasing the lowest price.
Their customer proposition stands head and shoulders above the competition due to three unique qualities:
- They send “Anything. Anywhere.” As long as it’s physically possible (and legal!), we’ll find a way to get anything, anywhere in the world
- NO LIMITS! Their ‘no limits’ approach means they will find solutions for almost anything that requires safe sending
- Legendary Customer Service: They are committed to providing great solutions and managing the process from beginning to end, which results in loyal repeat customers
Your Investment:
The initial franchise fee is £29,500, you will also need to budget for your service centre fit-out and working capital. The total amount required to open a PACK & SEND store is normally in the region of £120,000 – 135,000 (including working capital of between £35,000 and £50,000) so they always advise new franchisees to have access to between £50,000 and £60,000 in readily
available liquid capital, but as up to 70% funding support can be available (subject to personal circumstances) through high-street banks, you may only need £30,000 in liquid funds to secure your PACK & SEND store.
The ongoing Franchise Management and Advertising Fees cover everything you need to get your business off the ground and keep it growing:
- Marketing material such as flyers, brochures, banners and posters
- Sales kits and management resources
- PR resource
- Digital and social media account management
- National advertising campaigns, sponsorships and promotions.
What does a PACK & SEND franchise partner look like?
PACK & SEND franchise partners start as owner-operators of their own businesses, building a team to fulfil the needs of their customers by providing the very best solutions. Experience in the logistics sector is not required.
You will need to have great people skills and a passion for customer service.
Problem-solving, lateral thinking, organisational, time management, communication, numeracy, and computer skills are also necessary.
What will I receive from PACK & SEND?
In addition to access to all the benefits of the business model, the initial part of your PACK & SEND journey will involve a comprehensive training programme and ongoing support thereafter.
When you’re ready to launch, an expert will join you and your team in your PACK & SEND service centre for the first month. They won’t run the business for you but they’ll be on hand so you can get up to speed on maximising sales and customer satisfaction.
PACK & SEND also offers two guarantees to franchisees:
- Year 1 brand lead guarantee – PACK & SEND guarantees a defined number of leads with the opportunity to secure long-term repeat customers
- Year 1 marketing support guarantee – whatever you spend on marketing, PACK & SEND will match it (up to a maximum of £6,000).
