Small businesses

For small and medium enterprises and online retailers, Royal Mail is not just a service – we are a natural partner.

We make commerce happen by helping small businesses meet the expectations of their existing clients and connecting them with new customers.

We provide businesses with a range of solutions to ensure that their goods arrive exactly where they need to be, right on time. We offer significant discounts to help small businesses operate.  UK businesses using our franking machines can benefit from good value prices and discounts of up to 38 per cent on stamp prices.

Meeting the online retailing boom

Online retailing is growing at a significant rate. In 2011, UK online sales were up 16 per cent on the previous year at £68 billion. Many individual traders and small businesses are taking advantage of the ‘e-tailing’ market. Their businesses rely on efficient and speedy delivery services. With our comprehensive networks and key provider partnerships, we are better placed than our competitors to offer a world class service.

Getting it there safely

For any company, and particularly online retailers, professional packaging and delivery is vital. Mail and package delivery is at the core of what we do. Whether we are working with an SME or an online trader, we ensure that goods are delivered to customers in pristine condition.

Plenty of space for storage

We have dedicated storage solutions to cater for the phenomenal rise of e-tailing. Royal Mail Warehousing is currently storing products – from teddy bears to electronics – for businesses of every size. We also pick, pack and dispatch orders for smaller companies who either do not have, or do not yet want to acquire the space to hold stock.

Helping connect business and customers

Any business needs to take orders before it can send out products. Pinpointed direct mail helps potential customers find you and can significantly boost publicity. For help or advice on creating professional mailers and mailshots we are just a call or click away.
