Instruction manual

1

After registering your own company, choose the right office. If you do not plan to receive customers in person, its location is not important. The main thing is the availability of the Internet and telephone lines.

2

Buy the necessary materials and equipment: computers, telephones, stationery. Decide whether it is advisable to purchase your own transport. If the budget allows, you can buy several cars and put branding on them, thereby creating additional advertising for your company.

3

Hire staff. The staff should include office staff who will take orders. Try to find specialists who combine this position with the function of a logistician. Quick processing of an application and preparation of routes for couriers by one person will greatly facilitate the work and reduce costs. The bulk of the state is your couriers and forwarders, the amount of which depends only on your capabilities and best practices. It is optimal to employ both employees with transport and couriers without it, for example, from among students.

4

Carefully consider ways to promote your courier service. Print a large number of booklets or leaflets, do targeted mailing to commercial enterprises. If you plan to cover the segment of orders from individuals, advertise in periodicals of an entertaining nature.

5

Create a site for your courier service that will support the function of placing orders. If you are limited in funds at the initial stage, a good Internet site can replace your office. The virtual courier service is capable of processing and executing orders no less efficiently.

note

Pay particular attention to cargo safety. Even minor damage can ruin the reputation of your service.

Useful advice

Order a recognizable signature courier uniform. This element will not be expensive, but will allow you to create the right image of your service.
