The most common package delivery business plan simply describes the market and potential sales of a company that delivers parcels on behalf of consumers and businesses. Of course, a package delivery service of this kind faces still competition – not just from shipping behemoths like FedEx, UPS, and the US Postal Service, but from local couriers as well. The first step is defining your market scope – where are your customers, what is your delivery radius, and where are the closest competitors (and other potential substitutes)? Once you know these things, you can begin to create a market summary and a marketing plan for your company. A package delivery business plan should answer:
• Who are your target customers?
• How many potential clients are there in your area?
• What has the industry's performance been in recent years?
• What competitive advantages will you have?
• Are there any specials or promotions you will run?
The marketing strategy should speak to the sort of advertisements and incentives you can bring into play to ensure that your delivery service is competitive with the larger players in the market. This can be a relationship-based business if you're targeting local clients, so show what strategies you can use to maintain existing relationships. Your business plan also needs a pro forma financial model showing at least three years of projected performance including revenues, expenses, and a break-even point within the first couple years.
