1. Can I use the rookie station to open other stations?
With the rapid development of e-commerce industry, the number of parcels is increasing. In the case that it is difficult for a post station to carry the number of parcels in an area, it is entirely possible to open a second post station. If you want to open another express station near the rookie station, you'd better choose other express station platforms, and you can find other third-party stations similar to the rookie station to join.
It is suggested that you carefully investigate the market before starting to make a courier collection point to determine whether the number of parcels nearby can fully support the second courier station. Before opening a shop, you can go to the existing rookie station to find out the situation and see how many pieces this rookie station can receive every day and how much the surplus of express delivery can reach.
If you want to know more about the package, it is recommended to go to the courier brother in the community or the nearby courier outlets to find out how much the courier volume in this community is. In fact, the competitiveness of opening another express station of other brands in a region is still relatively large, depending on the market situation. If the number of parcels in the community can reach about seven or eight hundred, it can fully support two express stations.
Second, the express post joining process:
1. Consultation: Search official website on the Internet, and fill in the application form by phone or official website to get a preliminary understanding of the project information of the headquarters.
2. Investigation: The investigation covers a wide range, including the market and the project headquarters. It's best to go to the headquarters to make a field trip to the project, visit the stores and learn more.
3. Sign the contract: After knowing the relevant information, if there is no problem with the inspection results, you can choose the store address and dock the courier.
4. Store location: In order to control the rental cost, it is recommended to choose a store location near the community or inside the community. Rent a suite on the first floor, and try to control the rent within 2000 yuan.
5. Talk about express delivery: It is recommended to go to express outlets to learn about parcels, talk to couriers about express delivery, and strive to talk more about express delivery, so that the number of parcels will be guaranteed in later operations.
6. Decorate the storefront: The storefront needs simple decoration, simple, bright, clean and tidy, and can be decorated with relevant elements of the express station brand.
7. Business Guidance: After the renovation of the store is completed, the headquarters will have a special person to guide the investor's operation system, and the subsequent headquarters will also provide relevant shop opening skills to help the operation.
Third, how to make money by opening a courier station?
There are many profit channels for express delivery stations. The traditional way of making profits is to collect and send parcels, and the cost of collecting a parcel is around 0.5 yuan. The difference between sending a parcel on behalf of others is probably around 5 yuan, so if the overall express delivery volume is relatively large, the income from collecting and sending a parcel on behalf of others is still considerable.
However, if we only look at the income of collecting and sending parcels, the overall profit of a courier station is easily subject to the number of parcels, and the passenger flow in the store is not fully utilized. Many express station owners in the industry take advantage of the good store location and large passenger flow to start a sideline business. A small post office also sells fruits and vegetables, tobacco, alcohol and beverages, and daily necessities. And the profit margin is wider!
There are many precautions for opening a courier station near the community. If there is already a courier station next to it, you should pay attention to the preliminary research when you open the station again to understand the market situation and the surrounding parcels. In addition, it is suggested that on the basis of express delivery, we should also develop sideline business, open supermarkets or do community group buying to help drain cash!
