OTTAWA, Nov. 5, 2012, 2012 (Menafn - Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --Small business offer provides convenience of choice
Small businesses in Ottawa will soon be able to access special incentives via a new small business offer unveiled by UPS Canada and The UPS Store. Demonstrating their commitment to helping small businesses survive and thrive, UPS and The UPS Store are setting out to reverse the current failure rate among early stage small businesses, which according to Statistics Canada, stands at an annual average of 90,000. The Canadian offer is part of various global initiatives by UPS to support small business in fostering economic growth worldwide.
"All of the biggest companies once started as a small business, including UPS. We understand and assist with the tough challenges entrepreneurs face such as having to do more with less in order to grow their business and make a name for themselves," says Paul Gaspar, small business director, UPS Canada. "Small business plays a vital role in driving global commerce and economic growth, particularly in the Canadian context, so we want to do our part to help enable long-term success."
This new offer provides an easy way to understand shipping costs with the added convenience of choice. Customers can take advantage of the offer directly with UPS and enjoy the flexibility of scheduling pickups online and dropping off their packages at any convenient drop-off location. Customers can also ship UPS through The UPS Store and enjoy the same offer on their shipping and packaging needs. Small businesses will save valuable time and resources so they can focus on what they do best. For more information on the offer, services available to small business, and to review terms and conditions, go to www.mybusinessoffer.com.
"The great thing about this offer is that it makes it very easy for our customers to choose the options that fit the specific needs of their business," says Michelle Cameron, national marketing manager, The UPS Store. "Our franchisee owners approach logistical challenges and questions with the eyes of a passionate small business owner because they are small business owners themselves. This insight allows us to provide solutions customers need to take their business to the next level."
