Stop Leaving Money on the Table: The Power of Virtual Mailboxes

Virtual mailboxes are no longer just a “nice-to-have” feature - they’re becoming a highly sought-after service that not only enhances your existing members’ experience but also opens up a whole new revenue stream for your coworking space. And now, with Deskie’s new Virtual Mailbox functionality, you can offer this service without paying for an expensive third-party solution. Let’s talk about why this matters, how to implement it, and how much you could be earning right now.

Why Virtual Mailboxes Are a Game-Changer

In the past, offering virtual mailboxes meant relying on pricey third-party tools that charged $150–$300/month - sometimes even more. But now, Deskie brings this feature right into your existing coworking management software, eliminating the need for external tools and keeping your costs low.

Virtual mailboxes are more than just a convenience; they’re a necessity for freelancers, small business owners, and remote workers. They allow people to:

• Receive and manage mail digitally.

• Get notified about letters without stepping into the space.

• Have a legitimate business address for their operations.

Don’t Just Offer It to Your Members - Think Bigger

Sure, you could add virtual mailbox functionality as an add-on for your current members. Charge them an extra $25–$50/month, and it’s a win-win. But why stop there? One trend gaining traction is creating a virtual mailbox membership tier. These memberships are specifically for people who don’t work out of your space but still want to use your address for their business. Think solopreneurs, startups, or even individuals who need a professional address for mail.

Suggested Pricing for Virtual Mailboxes

A virtual mailbox membership tier typically goes for $100-$150/month. And since these members won’t take up physical space, the profit margin is huge. Let’s say you bring in just 10 virtual mailbox members at $125/month—that’s an extra $1,250/month for services that Deskie now helps you manage seamlessly.

Why You’re Missing Out Without Virtual Mailboxes

If you’re not offering virtual mailboxes, here’s what’s happening:

1. Members Are Paying Someone Else: Your members are already paying for virtual mail services from third-party providers. That’s revenue you could easily capture yourself.

2. Lost Opportunities for Non-Members: People in your local area are looking for virtual mailboxes. If you’re not advertising it, you’re missing out on potential customers who would gladly pay for this service. They're paying your competitors.

3. Untapped Revenue: Virtual mailboxes are a low-effort, high-reward service. Once set up, they practically run themselves with Deskie’s tools.

How Deskie Makes It Easy

With Deskie’s Virtual Mailbox feature, you can manage mail for your members and virtual-only members in just a few clicks. Here’s what makes it so simple:

• Members can receive notifications when mail arrives.

• All mail history is logged digitally for easy tracking.

• You stay organized without adding extra overhead.

How to Get Started

1. Access Virtual Mailboxes in Deskie: If you’re already a Deskie user on a Plus or Enterprise plan, the Mail feature is already active in your workspace!

2. Set Your Pricing: Decide if you’ll add it as an upgrade for current members, create a virtual membership tier, or both. We recommend starting with $100–$150/month for virtual-only memberships.

3. Promote the Service: Don’t forget to advertise! Update your website, include it in emails, and highlight the feature in your workspace tours. People will Google for this service!

The Bottom Line

Virtual mailboxes are no longer optional—they’re a business opportunity you can’t afford to ignore. By adding this feature, you’re not just improving your coworking space’s offerings—you’re adding a predictable, high-margin revenue stream that practically runs itself.
