Introduction to the business model
I provide an in-depth overview of the mailbox rental and pack and ship industry, including the different types of services that are offered (such as mail and package receiving, mail forwarding, and shipping services) and the target market for these services (such as small business owners, travelers, and e-commerce merchants). It will also cover the industry trends and market size.

Setting up your business structure
I teach you how to set up your business, including choosing the appropriate business structure (such as sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC or corporation), identifying and evaluating potential location options, and obtaining all necessary licenses and permits. It will also include an overview of the legal and insurance requirement for the mailbox rental and pack and ship industry.

Choosing the right equipment
I cover the essential equipment and supplies you will need to run your mailbox rental and pack and ship store, including shipping scales, packaging materials, and a computer system for tracking orders and managing customer accounts. It will also cover the cost and budgeting for the equipment, and the software needed for the operations of the store.

Store Operations & Procedures
You won’t have to ‘guess’ what to do every day inside your store. I share with you my operational SOPs which include everything from how to apply to be an access point for all carriers, to your store’s opening and closing procedures, and even safety guidelines so you have a one-stop-shop reference manual once you get up and running.

Customer Service Guidelines & Scripts 
As a service based business, your customers are your most important aspect. Based on what’s worked for my stores, I share with you guidelines for customer service and full scripts that you can hand directly to your staff that they can use for customer interactions. Our customer service SOPs are designed for maximum client retention!

Marketing for Maximum Visibility
You’re now a member of a community offering a needed service to your neighbors. I give you insights into how to share your store opening and all services for maximum visibility including both off-line and on-line marketing tactics. I also share with you insider hacks on how to get more customers into your store.

Why An Independent Store?
I initially considered buying a UPS franchise store, but was turned off by the 1.) high start up costs, 2.) monthly franchise fees, 3.) monthly marketing fees, 4.) being beholden to their layout and limitations on amount of mailboxes you can have in the store and a host of other rules and regulations. Plus, you can’t help any customers who may need FedEx. It may work for some people, but I decided it wasn’t for me.

In my opinion, having an independent store allows you the most flexibility. You can offer your customers all the various carriers: US Postal Service, UPS, FedEx and DHL or another, additional international shipper. And you can configure the store however you’d like, running whichever promotions you want. Our customers love the convenience of being able to drop off their Amazon packages (usually UPS labels) while also being able to ship out FedEx and also being able to buy stamps. We can service all of it.

Hi!
I’m Lisa Song Sutton
I’m an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and former Miss Nevada. I started my own mailbox rental, pack and ship store in 2018, and we’ve generated over a half million dollars with a fraction of the knowledge and resources connected to what I am going to share with you.

If you’ve ever wanted to make mailbox money, but you don’t know where to start, think the franchise route is overbearing and outdates, and have no experience running this type of store, then this could be the most important course you ever take.

But first…

I started my own independent store because I was attracted to the business model. Before I started my own stores, I was a mailbox customer of a local UPS franchise store. I had that mailbox for several years and they autocharged my credit card every year. I would forget about it, but didn’t have the time, effort, or energy to cancel it since I would use the address sometimes to avoid using my home address for stuff. I was intrigued by the business model.

Mailboxes are like mini storage units. A low maintenance, low overhead item that has steady, recurring monthly revenue.

The shipping is ancillary and seasonal.

I knew that if I could fill up enough mailboxes, I could use that steady recurring revenue to cover my expenses: rent and payroll.

Once I discovered this business model, I knew I had to learn more.

The only problem was that I didn’t know anything about running a store like this.

So, I went up the street from my house to the independent store that I frequented as a customer. I was friends with the owner, Andrew. I approached him and asked him if wanted to expand. He said no. So, I told him that I wanted to open up a store like his, but far enough away that it wouldn’t be competition.

I told him that I would pay him $10,000 if he let me follow him around for 2 weeks, work in his store and capture his processes. I would build him a nice handbook if he wanted and he would have free (actually, paying him!) help. He agreed and I got right to work!

I trained in his store every day for 2 weeks. People thought I was a new hire.

I captured all of the processes he’s used to generate 7 figures and copied everything in his store. The computer system, the counter heights, everything.

Then I modified it and improved it for use in my own store.

Fast forward years later, my friend Codie Sanchez called me and said she was starting a Youtube channel and asked if she could come to film some of my businesses.

I said, “Sure let’s do it!” And we filmed at my real estate brokerage and also at my shipping stores.

Before I knew it, I had people reaching out to me from all around the country, asking how they could open up their own independent stores.

Initially, I was answering questions one-off, but then realized the best way for me to help a lot of people at once was to build an e-course.

This course is to help you start your own business! 

If you are serious about starting your own mailbox rental, pack and ship store, then my e-course is the perfect way to get started!
