Mailboxes for your business

I've long been fascinated by the mail drop business. If you've ever started a business, then you know what these are: a secure address that can be used as a postal address. Usually maildrop services are used by small businesses that want to seem bigger.

This is the part that fascinates me...the wanting to seem bigger. Because, for the most part, there is a line to walk here. You don't want to admit that your company has only three employees, but you can't overplay your hand, for two reasons. First, you actually want prospective customers to know that they are going to get personalized service from a hungry businessman. Second, it is impossible to pretend that your business is a lot bigger than it is. Usually, your clients understand that you are using a maildrop, are fine with it, and understand that it is part of running a small business today.

However, until now, it has been painful to find a good maildrop service. Maildrops often don't have a long track record, although the track record is critical. There is a new serice, though, serving as an internet directory of mail drops and remailing services. I found it at maildropguide.com and was quite impressed. Check it out!
