10 advantages and keys to the success of the Mail Boxes Etc. model
1. We have no competition
Being a multi-service company allows us to provide comprehensive support to businesses for shipping and communication through a single provider, while encouraging cross-selling across a wide variety of business sectors with services designed to make our customers' day-to-day operations easier. You can learn more about the services offered by the MBE franchise.
2. Framework agreements with leading couriers
Working with leading couriers in the market (UPS, TNT, FedEx, Correos Express, Seur Internacional, Arin Express and CTT Express), together with the high turnover of the MBE store network, allows us to access highly competitive rates and work with strong margins with each courier company. These agreements also give SMEs access to expanded services in international markets, always ensuring the best shipping option with a highly personalised service.
3. Stability in the market
Operating in a stable and continuously growing sector allows us to create new business opportunities even during periods of economic recession. In 2020, despite the difficulties, we achieved the best December in our history and grew by more than 20% in the e-commerce shipping sector, thanks to our ability to respond to the needs of online stores by developing a comprehensive micro-logistics solution.
4. An established brand in the market
With more than 40 years of experience in the market, we have an extensive network of operating Centers internationally and a strong presence in Spain. For a new franchisee, joining an established brand means starting with a model backed by experience, processes and accumulated know-how.
5. Our own unique technology platform
We have a technology platform that makes it possible to manage and streamline the requests and procedures required for effective delivery from anywhere in the world, adapting services to the needs of each customer.
6. 360° training
Thanks to our extensive experience, we transfer our well-established know-how to new franchisees joining the MBE network. From comprehensive training across all areas of the business to specific sales training, provided from the outset both at headquarters and at a pilot Center, new entrepreneurs can develop the skills required to properly attract, manage and respond to the needs of their future customers.
In addition, we provide access to our online training platform, allowing franchisees to continuously keep up to date on any aspect related to the business. You can learn more about MBE franchisee training and support.
7. Support from the very beginning
Franchisees are never alone, as we support them from the pre-opening stage of the Center with ongoing assistance and advice on sales, marketing, accounting and day-to-day customer management. This support is one of the main advantages of the Mail Boxes Etc. franchise compared with starting a business from scratch.
8. Continuous expansion
We are an international brand operating within a group that includes different brands (AlphaGraphics, PostNet, PACK & SEND and Multicopy), making it possible to further expand our international presence and continue growing.
9. Sustained growth
Our track record has been characterised by continuous expansion and growth, accompanying the evolution of shipping, logistics and e-commerce services and adapting the model to the changing needs of businesses and individuals.
10. Banking and leasing agreements
Having agreements with different financial institutions that are familiar with our business model allows us to offer financing and leasing options for candidates, helping facilitate the planning involved in opening a Mail Boxes Etc. Center.
For candidates, one of the advantages is being able to present their project within a model with an established track record and previous experience, which may make it easier to explore financing for part of the investment, always subject to the conditions and approval of each financial institution.
These 10 advantages help explain some of the keys to the success of the Mail Boxes Etc. model. If you are considering joining the network, you can learn more about the process to open an MBE Center.
