3 ROI-backed reasons to fall back in love with managing mail

What would make you fall back in love with managing mail? A reliable growth partner? Operational ease? Sustainable profit? You can attain all of this with iPostal1 and iWorkSpaceMail.

One platform. Two revenue streams. If you use the iPostal1 platform, you already have and know how to use iWorkSpaceMail.

We took a deep dive into workspace-only performance, and the results were incredible.

1. Minimal time: Low daily workload and predictable mail volume

This isn’t a labor-intensive operation. It can be handled in less time than a typical lunch break, and it supports a revenue stream with no ceiling.

  • 50% of customers don’t receive any mail in a given month

  • Across all customers, the average is just 2 pieces per month

  • Customers request fewer than 1 task per month on average

  • Managing 100 customers takes about 30 minutes per day

2. Minimal space: No added square footage or extra storage required

For operators looking to grow revenue without expanding their footprint, digital mailbox services offer a low-lift way to unlock recurring income.

  • Under 5% of mail items are packages

  • For every 100 customers, you’ll receive about 3-4 packages per month

  • For most operators, your storage needs for mail will be a single filing cabinet and a single shelf for packages—not a full storage room

3. Minimal effort: Passive, recurring revenue

93% of revenue is passive, requiring no effort or labor. The hidden ROI strength of digital mailbox services lies in the revenue mix. Customers sign up, stay, and pay monthly, without much oversight required once they’re onboarded.

  • 89% of income comes from recurring subscription fees

  • 4% comes from storage fees

  • 7% comes from task request fees

The reality: digital mail is a long-term, passive revenue engine that isn’t tethered to your physical workspace. You don’t need more square footage, more staff, or more time. You just need to unlock the revenue potential of the space you already have.

iWorkSpaceMail Pricing & Bundling Options

With iWorkSpaceMail, you can offer all the benefits of digital mailbox service to your existing virtual and office members, either as an optional add-on or bundled within a service package. This gives you flexibility to align iWorkSpaceMail with your overall pricing strategy.

  • Set your own pricing

  • Invoice members directly for a monthly mailbox fee and any additional services requested

  • Pay a small, fixed monthly fee per member

When setting pricing, we recommend a flat rate for mailbox services, with the exception of mail forwarding, which should be based on the shipping label cost.

Use digital mailbox services as a competitive advantage for your workspace while driving consistency and operational efficiency. Bundling the service within memberships:

  • Presents a clear, all-in-one offering, ensuring every member benefits from day one

  • Reduces administrative overhead

  • Prevents complexity and confusion that can occur when services are added later

For these reasons, an upfront, bundled approach is strongly recommended.

iWorkSpaceMail offers integration through our partners, OfficeRnD and DeskWorks, removing the manual effort from billing and invoicing. With the integration in place, mailbox fees and additional services are automatically captured, so there’s no need to manually enter charges or manage invoices yourself.
