• Express to success the RUSH Messenger Service™ Way

Our name says it all. The RUSH Messenger Service™ concept is based on the need of many industries, and the medical industry in particular, for a reliable courier service that treats each job as if it was the only one.

The RUSH Messenger Service™ service is highly recognized and regarded for a business model that defines excellence. It’s a model that is as straightforward as can be – if something needs to be delivered in twenty minutes it is…no ifs, ands or buts about it.

What sets the RUSH Messenger Service™ approach apart is our promise to get the job done…now! We put the rush into the messenger service. We are not in competition with the UPS or FED EX – in fact, those colossal companies often call upon us to assist in making deliveries. The RUSH Messenger Service™ concept is basic – we get the call, pick up and package the delivery item(s) within one hour or sooner and we take the delivery to its final destination.

Over the past ten years the RUSH Messenger Service™ service has found its niche in the medical field. While it is true that e-mail and fax has cut down on the need for deliveries in some businesses, this is not the case in the medical industry. Blood work, x-rays and other “stat” items require a courier service at the ready, prepared to pick up and deliver at a moment’s notice, regardless of the time of day…or night. That’s where the RUSH Messenger Service™ approach to emergency delivery stands out as the best among all the rest.

Providing immediate service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – that’s the RUSH Messenger Service™ way. Now that you’ve learned a bit more about this exciting and rewarding opportunity, this may be the time for you to prepare for your own road to a successful future as a RUSH Messenger Service™ franchisee.

• Franchising and how it Works

One question potential franchisees sometimes ask is, “Why should I buy a franchise? Why can’t I just go out and start my own business?” Certainly, some people do enter the business world in that manner. So, what is the real value of purchasing a franchise rather than “going it alone”?

On your own, you might well experience a large “learning curve.” What are the right types of publications to advertise in? What types of promotions provide the best return? Are there collateral materials, like pamphlets, that I should consider? Without the professional training, business experience, or connections it takes to succeed, it is difficult to get off the ground. Many small business owners begin by hiring outside individuals with experience just for advice. Let’s face it. Opening your own business independently takes time and money.

That isn’t to say that franchising doesn’t require time and money, also. However, as a franchisee, you enjoy a number of advantages that a stand-alone, independent start-up does not. You begin with the accumulated experience, know-how, business practices and operating plan that come with a franchise.

As a franchisee, you enjoy name-brand recognition and a network of support provides an immediate and distinct competitive edge over the independent, stand-alone business. You can avoid that costly trial-and-error period that causes so many problems for start-up businesses. As a franchisee, you’ll “hit the ground running.”

The RUSH Messenger Service™ opportunity gives you the ready-made framework within which to build a successful business. And while any good business opportunity has its “bottom line” in mind, our RUSH Messenger Service™ model lists customer service as its highest priority. If we say a package will get picked up within the hour, it happens – each time, every time. We need people like you who are as committed to providing that same superior service.

In keeping with the fast delivery mode here are a few quick facts and figures for you to ponder. Each year, more than $800 billion in goods and services are sold through franchises in the United States. There are over 550,000 individual franchise outlets nationally, and each working day, a new franchise opens every five minutes.

You could be a part of this growth story — as a member of our RUSH Messenger Service™ franchise experience.
