How Can Renting a Mailbox Benefit your Small Business?
If you’re an entrepreneur who works from home, you may want to consider renting a separate, dedicated mailbox for your small business. Here are several benefits to consider when making that decision. If 2020 has taught us anything, having a professional appearance while working at home is key.
Why do you need a Mailbox?
Never Miss Deliveries
First, renting a separate, dedicated mailbox has several practical benefits for your business. If you receive frequent deliveries or if you spend a lot of time away from your home office, a separate mailing address can make your communications with clients a lot smoother. Waiting for deliveries that need to be signed for can affect the time you dedicate to other parts of your business, and you also don’t want your shipments sitting exposed on your front step. If you often travel, you can rest assured that your shipments are being signed for, received and held safely until you are ready to pick them up upon your return. Likewise, if you move often, you can keep mailing address the same to not disrupt your business and communications with clients.
Stay Private
When you rent a separate mailbox, you can also keep your home address private. Working from home with your private mailing address as your business address exposes where you and your family live everywhere on the internet. Would you want it displayed so publicly? Moreover, a dedicated mailbox can improve the image of your business to potential clients, as a mailing address on a recognizable street can give your small business an added level of professionalism and even give off the perception that it is larger and more successful than it may otherwise be.
Best SEO Practises
Having a separate mailing address can also increase clientele when it comes to discovering your business and search engine optimization. It is important to be easily found on Google – that is why so many companies invest so much money in SEO. A separate shipping address increases visibility in Google Places and allows potential customers to more easily find and research your company.
