If you are in the suburbs, near high traffic businesses (grocery stores, Walmart, Target, etc...) are best. Location is key in your market. Try to start with a decent quality sign for a reasonable price. I spent $3800 for mine. Yard (corrugated plastic) signs are great marketing tools around town. I have had so many people say they stopped because of my signs.
Napoleon have you made a video about how you were able to still work the 9-5 and your business afterwards? I’d like to know about this. I’m not trying to stay for very long but I’d love to get the biz going while still getting paid.
No officially video on that yet. But may be something I speak more about in the future. My advice would be to keep your job as long as you can and save up as much as possible. Trust me, I know exactly how it feels to work at a job that doesn’t fully fulfill you, but if you can sacrifice for a while and save up as much as possible, you will have enough resources to get started and never have to work for anyone else ever again. It has truly been worth it for me.
Do you know the distance of how far you have to be to be a hub for FedEx, ups, ect? I line in a small town with no access to FedEx and Amazon for at least 30 miles but we have a ups drop off location.
I am in a small town of 5k. I got FedEx, DHL and USPS (CMRA) easily in November 2023. I started/soft opening without UPS and had $1200 in sales my 1st month. UPS Initially turned me down because there was 1 other UPS ASO and 2 Access Points in town! The 2 Access Points have since closed. The other UPS ASO is in a small computer tech store owner. He is not consistently open with his hours M-F. I am open Saturdays. Try being a UPS Access Point 1st, watch Ship LAX video, he didn't open with UPS either.
Shout out to Mason Hall and you for all the knowledge.

Love this video, as usual, very helpful info to those looking into this business. Strategic location in a high traffic area is key.
Thanks for the love! High traffic location is key for sure!

30 miles may be enough distance but I’d recommend speaking to UPS/Fedex first just to be sure.
@@getfishbox thank you!
