ROYALTIES!
Our company has never charged a royalty fee which, of course, makes us different
from our competitors. We assure that you will get as good or better support from
us and you will not keep paying these extra fees that can range from $500 to
$2500 per month. Most mail and parcel centers that pay royalties average paying
$17,500 per year. This can go into your bank account instead of theirs. We will
keep you updated with the latest equipment and technology in our industry. Our
800 Hotline, quarterly newsletters, advertising slicks, national accounts with
all major shipping companies, national discounts with major suppliers and much
more. We will support you so we can use you as a reference for our future growth.
A First Class Opportunity
P.A.S.S. is a service that offers people greater convenience, greater flexibility
and greater choices than they could ever get from the Post Office. The need
is tremendous, and it's an idea whose time has truly come.
About P.A.S.S.
Mike Gallagher started Packaging And Shipping Specialists in 1981 in Hobbs,
New Mexico. With an awareness of the increased scattering of families across
the nation, Mike saw a gap developing.
Along with the remarkable expansion of mail order companies and the need of
consumers to return unwanted merchandise, Mike recognized the gap between the
limited hours, locations and services offered by standard package carriers
and the needs of the shipping public.
His goal was to meet that growing demand. In 1985 Mike relocated to Texas,
and since that time he and his staff have assisted others in successfully opening
hundreds of additional stores with a current total of 940 stores and growing. Together, they continue to provide all the training
and assistance new owners need in setting up and maintaining each P.A.S.S.
business. And they provide total support in store operation, pricing, marketing
and advertising as well as comprehensive ongoing assistance.
Each store may choose their own name as they are owned and freely operated
by enterprising people from all walks of life.
Why P.A.S.S.
The time-proven formula of offering a quality product at a fair price with
outstanding service is what makes a P.A.S.S. store right for you.
The advantage of launching your P.A.S.S. store is that the hardest tasks are
completed for you: finding a way to fulfill a need; learning how to market
that concept; finding the proper suppliers; knowing what to charge; and obtaining
the necessary skills. You don't need to spend years and many thousands of dollars
learning what works and what doesn't. You can get right to the job of running
your own business.
Fulfilling A Need
The only way to succeed in business is to satisfy a need. But identifying the
right need is not easy. For some, the market may be too small to lead to
profitability. Or there may be obstacles that aren't apparent until it's
too late. Your P.A.S.S. store eliminates this concern.
Marketing the Concept
How much advertising is enough? What media works best? What groups should you
target? What services do they want? These are the questions we can answer.
There's no need to waste money experimenting. We'll help you make informed
decisions.
