On-going Expenses

PostNet franchisees pay a royalty fee equal to 5% of gross sales, a national advertising fund contribution equal to 2% of gross sales and an annual software fee of $600 to $700.

What You Get—Training and Support

PostNet’s comprehensive, three-step training program includes 8 days of classroom training, on-site training in the store up to and through opening and a follow-up training visit approximately 60-90 days later.

Specifically, franchisees work with PostNet’s commercial real estate department to identify the best location, considering more than 20 factors, including demographics, traffic patterns and counts, physical attributes and competition. PostNet offers franchisees a complete development package that includes construction management, modular store fixtures, interior partitions, painting and carpeting, interior and exterior signage, initial inventory and supplies, an equipment package and a store-management system – a fully integrated point-of-sale system that manages sales, credit card transactions, inventory and mailboxes and processes domestic and international shipments. To assist in marketing, it also includes a customer database.

After the opening, PostNet’s support department – accessible by phone – can answer questions, provide advice and monitor the achievement of financial goals. Field support is not only provided during the initial set-up phase, but also as necessary as the business matures. In addition, PostNet maintains an online franchisee network. Additional training is offered through online programs and workshops at the annual convention and regional meetings.
