The companies said the first phase of the partnership gives Sir Speedy and PIP Printing special Airborne Express national account status, providing cost-effective delivery of their customers’ printing and document orders from over 1,100 locations nationwide.
Electronic commerce efforts are integrated into the partnership as well. An interface via Airborne.com gives customers direct access to Sir Speedy and PIP Printing’s copying, printing and digital network. In turn, Sir Speedy.com and Pip.com link directly to Airborne’s newly launched Small Business Center where customers can access Airborne’s shipping and logistics products.
Future phases of the partnership will include providing Sir Speedy and PIP Printing franchisees with special incentives and marketing tools to promote Airborne’s products and services. Airborne will also offer franchisees the option of placing drop boxes at their centers and designate them as certified drop-off locations.
These programs are intended to help Airborne continue to fuel its growth in the small- and medium-sized business market, while allowing Sir Speedy and PIP to obtain additional revenue from the sale of Airborne Express services.
