If you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, or you are looking to have a business address in a different city or state, a virtual mailbox membership would be a great fit for you! So, you might be wondering: how exactly does a virtual mail membership work?
When you set up a virtual mail membership with Forge, you will be assigned a business address with a suite number. Then, when mail arrives for you, a member of our team will take a photo of your mail item and upload it to your mail portal! From there, you can choose to have the item scanned, shredded, recycled, forwarded, or you can schedule a pickup. This is, of course, a great way to keep track of your mail, but there are actually quite a few benefits you may not have thought of…
1. More Professional Than Your Home Address
If you run a business, you need a professional business address, it’s as simple as that. Using your personal home or residential address for your business gives your clients a first impression that is unprofessional to them and potentially unsafe for you. Utilizing a professional business address is simply the best possible option for your business.
2. Forward Your Mail to Any Address
While you can, of course, forward your mail to your personal address, you may need to forward it on somewhere else! We can forward your mail anywhere you need it to go. Just one more step you do not have to worry about.
3. No Trips to the Post Office
Rather than driving to the post office to check if you have anything in your PO Box, you can simply log into your mail app to check on what is in your box. The mail items will stay in your mailbox portal until you choose what to do with them. Similarly, you’ll have no need to go to the post office for stamps or to forward anything as we can handle that all for you!
4. Bye Bye Junk Mail
Say goodbye to sorting through junk mail and wasting your time shredding, recycling, and scanning your documents. When you sign up for Forge’s Virtual Mail service, you’ll get notified each time you get a piece of mail. Simply tap on the item and then choose scan, shred, forward, recycle, or pick up!
5. One Less Thing to Deal With
In addition to all of these other (more tangible) reasons, it’s mostly just one less thing that you personally have to deal with. For many business owners, it’s helpful to automate or even just take 1 thing off of their plate. Consider a virtual mail membership
6. All Your Mail at Your Fingertips
If you’ve had an item of mail scanned, you can access it at any time via your email. You can also see all of your mail at any time, no matter where you are in the country (or the world!). We know business owners are busy and having electronic access to all your mail whenever you need it is very important! Forge x Anytime Mailbox makes it easy.
7. A Real Street Address, NOT a P.O. Box
Unlike a P.O. Box, you can receive packages from virtually any carrier at a real street address. You will not run into any of the typical issues that may occur when you sign up for a P.O. Box with a Virtual Mailbox.
