Postal Connections, one of the nation’s premier service centers for retail packaging, shipping, mail receiving and eBay customer-sales assistance, recently held its 20th annual franchisee convention in conjunction with the 2022 Retail Shippers Expo & Trade Show at the Hyatt Regency Dallas.
During the convention, Postal Connections announced a strategic co-branding partnership with PackageHub Business Centers, which provides the Postal Connections/iSOLD It franchise system a complementary line of business services and expanded shipping carrier offerings. PackageHub currently operates more than 620 units throughout the United. The alliance improves customer online search convenience in identifying nearby locations and adds availability of more services to Postal Connections locations.
Pete and Nick Pierce, franchisees of Postal Connections in Bend, were presented the prestigious National Top Sales Award and learned more about benefits as a PackageHub member.
“The Retail Shippers Expo & Trade Show is an incredible opportunity for our franchise system,” said Fred Morache, COO of Postal Connections. “Bringing everyone together for a few days and interacting with others in the industry is valuable as we grow and develop our brand. New and longtime franchisees are able to learn what the future has in store and how to adjust offerings to local customers’ needs. The past two years confirmed for us how important our mail, shipping and business services are for people working to coordinate their careers and personal lives.”
Additionally, the Postal Connections gathering provided an opportunity for franchisees within the Postal Connections network to learn from one another and the hundreds of other attendees. Also present were companies demonstrating the latest and greatest business services to improve customers’ lives and make business easier.
Based in Frisco, Texas, Postal Connections/iSOLD It presents itself as more than a pack and ship store. Today, it is a leading provider of a wide array of business and personal services, offering convenient access to postal products, mail receiving, shipping with all leading carriers, accepting drop offs and package pickups, freight, printing, creative services, copying, fax, passport photos, notary, shredding, digital fingerprinting and other hard to find services.
