Run
a Pick-Up and Delivery Service From Your Home
A pick-up and delivery service is a great concierge service which you are able to
easily and inexpensively conduct from the comfort of your own home. As a
pick-up and delivery service you would be paid to perform tasks such as
drop-off and collection of laundry, grocery pickup, pick-up and delivery of
documents or parcels, etc. by individuals and businesses. To run a successful
pick-up and delivery service all you require are great organizational and
communicational skills along with punctuality and a reliable mode of
communication and transportation.
Lately there has been an increased demand for pick-up and
delivery service providers. The main reason behind this is the busy lifestyle
of the present era. In many households both the spouses have full time careers
which leave them less time to carry out the mundane tasks. As a result busy
individuals are the main market segment in this profession. Other than busy
individuals, there is another group of people who rely on concierge service
providers. These are the people who require help to perform their tasks because
of the inability to leave their residences due to a new child, disability,
illness or old age. In addition to the above mentioned groups, small businesses
also rely on pick-up and delivery services to carry out tasks on behalf of
them. Accounting firms, law firms and advertising agencies are some of the
companies who would rely on your service.
A well conducted pick-up and delivery
service is able to yield profitable
returns for you. Usually in this industry clients are charged by the hour or
the type of service which is provided. Some pick-up and delivery services even
provide memberships for their regular clients. In this case the client would
pay an annual fee for a certain number of requests per month.
To run a home based business venture you would be required to
obtain a license. The process for registering a home based business would vary
from state to state. But you can easily obtain more information regarding the
process by visiting the town clerks office and your states Department of
Revenue. Furthermore a pick-up and delivery service may involve a high amount
of liability. So it is advisable that you obtain business insurance for your
pick up and delivery service due to this reason.
To acquire clients it is essential that you promote your
business, in the area you wish to cater to. Networking is a great way to spread
the word. Join community groups and get to know and identify the people who
live around your area who would require your services. Hand out your business
cards and flyers which would provide your potential clients with more
information regarding your venture. Advertise in the local papers, magazines
and directories. Sending direct mailers to the local businesses is another
effective way to make your services known.
You should establish a professional outlook for your business by
being punctual, dependable and proficient. Satisfied clients are the best
marketing tool for your business, since they would happily promote your services
to others
