The UPS Access Point thus significantly increases the reach of your target group from day one. Take advantage of the huge potential to welcome new customers, get them excited about wine - and turn them into regular customers!
Your start is completely uncomplicated: UPS installs the Access Point App on all mobile devices of your choice. In addition, you will receive a detailed briefing and all the materials you need for operation. UPS support will assist you by phone, e-mail, video or even in person on site.
Existing cooperations with other parcel services are no problem for UPS. In addition, the Access Point operation can be individually adapted to your conditions and opening hours.
How well wine sales and the UPS parcel shop go together is demonstrated by the Ingrid Kratzer beverage and wine specialist shop in Taufkirchen (Vils). It has been shipping with UPS for over ten years. Since October 2015, the wine shop has also been working very successfully with UPS as an access point. The owner reports on her experiences:
Have you been able to reduce your customers' fear of wine through the parcel service?
Ingrid Kratzer: In addition to the pure wine trade, we also offer daily beverages. In this segment, UPS customers who pick up or bring their parcels by car take the opportunity to also buy a case of water, juice or beer. Here, the expansion of our catchment area beyond Taufkirchen with the parcel service clearly benefited us. After the UPS customers had entered our shop and thus crossed the threshold, they registered the wine displays, happily informed themselves about our offer - and also bought.
Has the concept had a positive effect on your business?
Ingrid Kratzer: The good relationship with the UPS deliverers and the staff in the parcel shop network ensures that the entire shipping and parcel business is handled quickly and smoothly.
What do you particularly appreciate about the UPS Access Point concept?
Ingrid Kratzer: Again, I emphasise the good, professional relationship with the UPS employees and the resulting positive experience of the parcel customers when picking up and dropping off their parcels.
Can you recommend wein.plus members to become a UPS Access Point?
Ingrid Kratzer: In any case, I recommend that members of wein.plus take advantage of the special shipping conditions of the wein.plus framework agreement and complete the UPS services with a parcel shop.
