Why Mailbox Manager

Grace helps manage the entire mailbox customer lifecycle — past, current, and future mailbox holders.

Win Back Past Mailbox Customers

Stores can upload information for former mailbox holders that they are authorized to contact.

Grace can then reach out to those customers with a “We Want You Back” campaign offering promotions or incentives selected by the store.

Depending on the store’s Grace plan and A2P approval status, these campaigns may be delivered through:

EmailText messagePromotional follow-up campaigns

Instead of simply advertising the promotion, Grace can provide the former customer with a direct path to begin renting a mailbox again online.

Rent a Mailbox Online

Grace Mailbox Manager allows prospective customers to begin the mailbox rental process online without first having to visit the store.

Grace guides the customer through the process by asking questions designed to understand:

  • Whether the mailbox is for personal or business use
  • How many people or businesses will receive mail
  • Expected package volume
  • Mail forwarding needs
  • Length of rental
  • Additional mailbox services the customer may need

Based on the customer’s answers and the store’s available mailbox options, Grace can recommend the mailbox size, rental term, and services that best fit the customer’s needs.

This creates an opportunity to guide customers toward the right solution instead of requiring them to understand all of the store’s mailbox options themselves.

Automated Paperwork

Grace captures the information needed for the mailbox rental and uses it to help prepare the required documentation.

This may include:

  • The store’s mailbox rental agreement
  • USPS Form 1583 for each required individual
  • Business information when applicable
  • Authorized mailbox users
  • Required identification information

The store can upload its own mailbox agreement so Grace can use the appropriate store-specific documentation.

Customer identification documents can be collected through a secure, encrypted process and associated with the customer’s mailbox application.

Identity Verification and USPS Form 1583

Grace helps guide customers through the documentation and identification requirements associated with opening a mailbox.

Before a mailbox number is assigned, the customer must have completed all required steps, including:

Required customer informationRequired identificationCompleted mailbox agreementCompleted Form 1583 documentationRequired notarization or in-person verificationPayment

Grace can track the progress of the application so the store can quickly see what has been completed and what is still missing.

Flexible Ways to Finalize the Application

Customers can be offered different ways to complete their mailbox documentation depending on the store’s procedures and available services.

Complete It at the Store

The customer can visit the store with the required identification and finalize the documentation in person.

Print and Notarize the Documents

The customer can print the required documents, have them properly notarized, and return or mail the completed paperwork to the store.

Online Notary

When available, the customer may also be directed to an online notary service so the required documentation can be completed remotely.

This allows Grace to make the mailbox rental process much more convenient while still ensuring that the required documentation is completed before the mailbox is activated.

Payment Before Mailbox Assignment

Grace helps enforce an important operational rule:

A mailbox number should not be assigned until the customer has paid and all required documentation and identification requirements have been completed.

Depending on the payment methods available to the store and Grace at that time, customers may be able to:

  • Pay online
  • Provide an approved credit card authorization
  • Complete payment directly with the store

Online Mailbox Renewals

Existing mailbox holders can renew their mailbox through Grace without having to visit the store simply to complete a renewal.

Grace can:

  • Remind customers about upcoming renewals
  • Provide renewal options
  • Present available rental terms
  • Collect required information
  • Facilitate payment when available
  • Notify the store when the renewal has been completed

This helps reduce expired mailboxes, missed renewal opportunities, and the amount of employee time spent contacting customers manually.

Mail Forwarding Requests

Registered mailbox customers can also use Grace to submit mail-forwarding requests.

Grace can collect the information required for the request and notify the store so an employee can process it according to the store’s procedures.

The request can also appear within the Grace Owner Dashboard, giving the store a centralized way to track mailbox customer requests.

Owner Notifications and Dashboard

The store can be notified of important mailbox activity through Grace.

Notifications may include:

New mailbox applicationsCompleted applicationsMissing documentationIdentification requirementsPaymentsRenewalsMail-forwarding requestsCustomer follow-up needs

Relevant information can also appear within the Grace Owner Dashboard, giving owners and managers visibility into mailbox activity without having to depend on handwritten notes or information known by only one employee.

Mailbox Customer Nurturing

Grace Mailbox Manager is not only designed to manage mailbox paperwork.

It is also designed to help the store build stronger relationships with mailbox customers and generate additional business from them.

Mailbox holders can become some of the store’s most valuable recurring customers because they already have an ongoing relationship with the location.

Grace can continue communicating with those customers according to the store’s marketing plan and communication permissions.

Examples may include:

Birthday messagesMailbox renewal remindersStore promotionsPrinting offersShipping promotionsBusiness-service offersNew service announcementsCustomer appreciation campaignsRelevant offers based on the customer’s relationship with the store

For example, a business mailbox customer may later need business cards, flyers, printing, shipping, freight, direct-mail campaigns, or other business services.

Grace can help make sure those customers are continually exposed to services they may not realize the store provides.

Customer Communication Preferences

Customers remain in control of the communications they receive.

Grace can provide customers with the ability to unsubscribe from:

  • Marketing communications
  • Service notifications, when legally or operationally permitted
  • Both categories of communication

Marketing preferences and transactional or service-related communications can be managed separately when appropriate so the store can respect customer choices while still communicating information necessary to manage the customer’s mailbox services.

The Goal

Grace Mailbox Manager turns mailbox rentals from a primarily manual transaction into an organized customer lifecycle.

Grace helps the store:

Attract new mailbox customers. Win back former mailbox holders. Make mailbox rentals easier to start. Simplify paperwork and document collection. Increase online renewals. Reduce expired mailbox accounts. Manage forwarding requests. Keep owners informed. And continually develop mailbox holders into stronger, long-term store customers.

The goal is not simply to rent more mailboxes.

The goal is to make every mailbox customer a long-term relationship with the store.
