Lisa highlights the significance of strategic space configuration. An open area capable of accommodating over 1000 mailboxes is optimal, with each bank holding 220 mailboxes. This setup ensures ample capacity to meet customer demands and maximize profitability. By offering various mailbox sizes, such as small ($20/month), medium ($30/month), and large ($35/month), Lisa attracts a diverse range of customers.
In addition to mailbox rentals, Lisa has successfully tapped into additional revenue streams. All her employees are public notaries, enabling her to charge $10 per notarial act. Customers appreciate the convenience of on-site notary services without requiring prior appointments. Moreover, Lisa offers packaging and shipping services, providing added convenience while generating pure profit.
Lisa's savvy business approach is further exemplified by the low startup costs she enjoys. Repurposing a blank office building, she collaborated with a local carpenter to construct custom-built mailbox units at an estimated cost of $3900 per bank of 220 boxes. With high occupancy rates, Lisa anticipates earning around $7000 per month per bank of boxes.
Join us as we delve into the captivating world of mailbox rental businesses, guided by Lisa Song's expertise. Tune in to gain valuable insights and inspiration for launching your own thriving venture in this dynamic industry!

I owned a shipping store for nine years and it is interesting that Lisa only talks about the positives and not the negatives in the business. I belonged to a trade association and we met periodically to discuss all of our problems and how we handled different situations. Almost all of the store owners that I networked with are out of business or have sold their stores because they got burnt out. I could write a book about this business - the government paperwork you have to do when you sign up a new mailbox client to make sure they are not scammers and still we had some who turned out to be crooks and police got involved. The physical exhaustion of packing up shipments. The inability to go on vacation because you have to keep the mailboxes accessible for customers. The frustration of a UPS store (of course they get much better deals) opening up in your neighborhood so now your biggest supplier has turned into your biggest competitor. The problem of finding and keeping employees, etc., etc. Good luck to her, but it is not a bed of roses!

I know exactly what you mean! After 3 years of successfully running a restaurant I said there is no way I should be working so hard for money. Unless you’re very passionate about food the burn out takes a toll on you. It was the best decision we made leaving the restaurant business. Now we make more, travel more, and a lot happier. However serving the community, seeing regulars multiple days a week, and the smiles our food brought to peoples faces were worth every penny. I hope you find your happiness and find a less stressful successful business!

Aloha, I live on the big Island of Hawai’i, and where I live, we are required to rent post office boxes from USPS. Because the mail is not delivered to the houses in the area I live at. But they issued us an additional form that permits us to use the street address of the post office and list the post office box as Suite such and such. As you point out Nevada is slightly different, but since the post office allows this variation here, then would they allow that same variation there as well? Aside from that your place is a lot more reasonably priced for post boxes. Seeing that I paid $258.00 for 2023...

Thank you for sharing your business model and insight. Question: I understand the goal is to keep the store simple. However, do you disagree that if done correctly, you can leverage the space by offering additional services or retails items? i.e Greeting card rack and basic office supplies. How can having painted walls or a few pictures on the wall be an issue? Paint is cheap and you can do it yourself. Posters in a frame are also inexpensive. If I were to work in my store full-time or part-time, I need something pretty to look at. 😂Thoughts?

@JocobsComments 10 месяцев назад

She just started. So I think she has that mindset as well.

@FableCountry 10 месяцев назад

KISS = Keep It Stupid Simple. Do one thing and do it right. She doesn't want a one-stop-shop. This requires more training or needing more employees. And even adding more products and services only muddles the main purposes of the store -- storing and sending mail and/or packages. Even if she did agree to more services and products, upselling is annoying. And would only slow down efficiency. She said this business is about efficiency -- Get in and get out. Let's say she did have the best greeting card rack and office supplies in the world. That means people are hanging around. But again, the focus is efficiency. Do what you need to do and get out. The profit margin for the small things is not worth the time or annoyance to clients. When I go to UPS, I drop stuff off. I don't want to hang around. I have better things to do like make dumb comments on youtube.

@cakeandrealestate 10 месяцев назад

@@du24pont70 Oh, I see. So, basically the setip Lisa has here is basically a virtual office space with the mini mailboxes (as they're called in the original title) that can act as registered business locations, right? And if so, then that Montana law would technically make this illegal if she setup there? Thank you also for getting back to me so quickly!

@du24pont70 Год назад

@@JessieJussMessy yes, I believe that would be the case. It would resolve a couple issues I suppose. Fraud would be one and then laying claim in a state you don't physically live or work in would be the other. Using them for tax purposes. I'm not so sure this applies to her business though. I mean, locals obviously use them too.

U know Ryan, your not wrong about the financial potential here. My parents ran a business just like this in Houston 6-7 years ago. And on average it generated about 100k a year. Though I had no idea it could be so simple to run let alone not require a lot of employees running it

@@raiderxskull that sucks man I would definitely like to hear the story behind how you got too have the business and capital, expenses, etc.

@raiderxskull Год назад

@@luisvilla799 I don't know the entire story but basically, my parents started out when they bought a postal place storefront called Parcel & Post Plus from someone trying to sell it. Kind of like Lisa's in this video. That guy didn't know how to run a business and left alot of shit unorganized. My parents managed to flip the business around, dealing with the mess, and slowly made it profitable after 4 years in. idk how they created their capital but they did expand to 2 more locations. One on Highway 6 and one on West Little York Rd. In addition, they also created a branch to their business called DHRAKK PLLC, which was dedicated to tax preparation and bookkeeping for small business owners. After our "little incident" that I mentioned, my mom was able to ressurrect the name but we have to start from scratch because my parent's client database was sold to an old associate by an employee my parents hired in Parcel & Post Plus. And that's where I'm at right now

Would love to know what her total set up cost (out of pocket) until the business started to pay itself.. AND what her rent cost is? What is her monthly net?

@jl7676 11 месяцев назад

Probably stupid question but how is new inbound mail placed in each box? Is someone doing this daily? Multiple times a day? Are they just loaded in from the front with a master key? Or is there a master key and USPS that's delivering the mail just come in and fill them for you??

2023 caveat is finding reliable employees is nearly impossible. A very interesting and fun episode however!!

@beesworld04 Год назад

I was thinking about that. However, with the revenues I’d think you could afford to pay a nice wage to have decent employees.

@ajsena1655 11 месяцев назад

Seems like a good business but I'm worried about the demand side. Very few people use snail mail these days. It seems like these boxes would be used mainly to have a physical address and as a way to receive packages without theft.

@FableCountry 10 месяцев назад

...which makes sense since package theft has been on the rise. And having a physical address for $20/month is affordable, especially for someone homeless who needs an address to apply for jobs and work.
