PostNet: Local print and online marketing solutions for small business

PostNet's Niche in a $300+ Billion Industry
PostNet has been in business since 1985 and has 700 locations, with franchises in every state in the Continental United States, as well as South Africa, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela.

We're part of the digital marketing, print and logistics industries, which have combined revenue of more than $300 billion, and our niche within those industries is growing fast. We use our expertise at printing, online marketing and shipping to help small businesses get discovered and grow. Self-employment has grown 14% since 2001 as Americans have started their own businesses to develop a steady and rising income, and the trend has accelerated since 2008. More than 12 percent of U.S. adults reported starting a business or running new businesses in 2011. There are more than 27 million small businesses in America. PostNet is the only franchise system established to provide the support they need to prosper.

To succeed, small businesses must market themselves effectively, and PostNet offers local experts who can help them reach their target audiences. Small businesses love us for our expertise, and also for our personal touch. Since our franchise owners live in the same community as the businesses they serve, they're able to provide face-to-face consultations, in-person service, faster turnaround times and other conveniences.

What PostNet Does

We help small businesses grow by solving three major challenges for our clients: helping them set themselves apart through branding and digitally printed materials; boosting their reach by providing a hosting of website and online marketing solutions; and saving them time by offering fast turnaround times and convenient options such as on-site shipping and logistics.

Is PostNet Right For Me?

If you enjoy meeting and mentoring people and nurturing their ambitions, PostNet may be a great fit. Starting a franchise requires an investment of $160,667 to $197,650, with $60,000 in liquid capital and a net worth of $350,000. We're part of the SBA Registry, which simplifies financing, and offer a 35% discount off the franchise fee to Veterans as part of our commitment to the VetFran program established by the International Franchise Association. That's over a $12,000 savings!

The typical PostNet Center starts out with the owner and at least one full-time employee with graphic design experience. Owners enjoy protected territories that feature a high density of potential business customers. We offer initial training, ongoing support, help lines, field support, annual meetings, advertising and central purchasing to help frachise owners succeed.
