PACK & SEND LAUNCHES NATIONAL AD CAMPAIGN In order to increase awareness of the full capabilities of the brand, PACK & SEND will be placing itself in prime position over the next 10 months through an engaging national TV advertising campaign. Airing from October 2013 to July 2014, the campaign is designed for maximum reach and impact with the message that PACK & SEND does everything every other carrier does (plus a lot more) and naturally should be considered the ‘first choice’ for anyone sending anything, anywhere. With a Pied Piper theme, the sight and sound of the TV commercial is geared for an emotional connection and will have good extension into digital channels with campaign assets being extendable into store, local area marketing, social media and other marketing materials.

The new automated Online Self-Service booking system is available to customers from the PACK & SEND Australia website. If customers have a basic packed item that doesn’t need the full personalised service available through a Service Centre, then they may find it suitable for PACK & SEND’s automated Online Self-Service system. It is a do-ityourself option where the customer manages the process rather than having it done for them. And, if they are happy to do that, they will get a more economical price. CEO Michael Paul says Online Self-Service allows PACK & SEND to exploit the low weight, low value, pre-packed parcel market. “Online Self-Service enables PACK & SEND to truly live up to its brand promise of anything, anywhere and gives our franchise owners a further competitive advantage to our unique business model.” The table below highlights PACK & SEND Australia’s existing sales channels.
