The company has continued to improve the online shipping portal which is brilliant for our customers. For

Matthew Mansfield
I was a university graduate who didn’t want to do the typical thing of starting a 9-5 job working for someone else with little reward. I had some experience in sales and realised I’d like the opportunity to build my own business. But being young and new to working life

Simon Douglas
I became a World Options franchisee in 2014. Having previously worked in the courier industry, I knew exactly what I was looking for. I decided that World Options had the best franchise offering for me as a business professional and I was right, because the rest, as they say, is

Catherine Turner
I started my World Options franchise in 2012 with no experience and a background in illustration. I remember being petrified the first time I picked up the phone to talk to a client. It was fine though and the more I did it the more I got used to it.

Online Marketing

Online Marketing And Courier Franchises

In a technical sense, if anything happens online, it occurs through a connection between two technological devices, such as a computer or a mobile phone. Talking about online in reference to a franchise, one would refer to the fact that most of the business is happening on the Internet.

The Importance Of The Internet For Courier Delivery Franchises

It is nearly impossible to stay up-to-date and in contact with loved ones without the Internet. Emails, Zoom meetings, and Video calls got more and more popular. It is not a surprise why the Internet plays such a significant role for franchisees of all business models.

Franchisees can advertise their services on blogs or forums to their target group internationally instead of having a poster that only a hand full of people will walk past in a day.

While advertising and acquiring customers are important, retaining customers is essential to building a successful franchise.

The Internet allows franchisees to quickly connect to their existing customers, keep on track of shipments and help out as soon as a question appears, regardless of where they are.

How Courier Delivery Franchises Can Take Advantage Of Opportunities Online

When owning a courier business, taking it online can take your business model from driving deliveries in your local area to working from home organising deliveries all over the UK.

If your franchise is non-geographic, having an online courier delivery franchise allows you to decide where you want to work and what customers you want to target, regardless if they’re based in London, Birmingham, or anywhere else in the UK.

Reselling Courier Services Through An Online Portal

If you take your business online, you can offer customers different rates from different couriers in a simple-to-use online portal.

You give them access to the portal. They order the deliveries themselves. All you need to do is support them with possible queries about the portal or the services.

Easily Acquire And Retain Customers

Advertising your services online allows you to target thousands of customers at a time on sites specifically for people looking for your services. Small business forums and social media groups always search for the best carrier rates and support to take their business one step further.

By being online, you can easily find and acquire these customers. Not only finding customers is easier to do online. Staying in contact with existing customers via email and video calls is essential to keep them interested in your product.

If you offer your customers the World Options online portal, they don’t need to reach out to you directly. If they have a query regarding a shipment, they can contact our in-house customer service directly online in the portal.

Less Recurring Costs

If you take your business online, you don’t need to worry about a big office, trucks or work commute. You can work from anywhere you want, which allows you to save money on gas and electricity, rent, taxes, and much more. All you need to start your franchise is a desk, a computer, and a phone.

More Flexibility

While owning an online business has plenty of advantages for your customer, it also has plenty of benefits for you. You decide when and where you want to work.

As long as you have an Internet connection, you can simply open your computer and start.

Working from home, appointments in the middle of the day, a month-long holiday in the Maldives, or a 12-hour flight to the US are no longer a problem, thanks to taking your business online.

Summary

Having an online presence for your business is essential for every franchise. Still, when you take the majority of your business online, you can benefit from so much more, such as:

Advertise to a broader audience
Have lower overheads
Contact and help customers quick and easy
Building your timetable
Work from anywhere you want

The World Options online franchise opportunity allows you all this and more. Be your own boss and decide for yourself when and where you want to work. All you need is an internet connection.
