Your MBC Can’t Survive Without Digital Marketing

Your MBC Can’t Survive Without Digital Marketing

The days of relying solely on foot traffic and word-of-mouth are over. In 2025, customers discover services online before they ever step through your door. So if your mail and business center isn’t visible in the digital space, you’re essentially invisible to the growing market of digital nomads, remote workers, and small business owners who need your services most.

Going Digital is Essential

With 5.24 billion users currently on social media as of January 2025 (63.9% of the global population), your customers are definitely online, and they’re Googling “mail forwarding near me” at 2 AM from a coffee shop in Bangkok or searching for business addresses while launching their startup from a home office.

For MBCs, this means your potential customers are building relationships, making purchasing decisions, and seeking recommendations in digital spaces. Without a strong social media presence and digital marketing strategy, you may never reach these high-value customers who need your services and products.

In addition, remote work has exploded, with over 35 million digital nomads worldwide actively seeking reliable mail services that can keep up with their mobile lifestyles. These customers research online, read reviews, and make decisions based on your digital footprint.

Beyond Basic Posting

Building up a social media presence doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, in an era flooded with creators trying to ride predictable algorithms, being authentic and true to your brand can be a trait that stands out. 

Here are a few ideas to help you get started: 

1. Make Solution-Oriented Content. This can take the form of “Mail Monday Tips” with easy hacks for managing shipping or short FAQ videos that answer questions such as “What happens to my mail when I travel?” or “How fast can I get a business address?”

 

1. Highlight Customer Stories – Post about successful customer interactions in text or video form, spotlight reviews on trusted sites, and always give a shoutout to your loyal customers, who are a big part of why your business is thriving.

 

1. Dive Into Simple SEO – One of the easiest ways to boost SEO is to use location-specific keywords in your posts – for example, “Need a virtual address in Portland?” or “Pennsylvania Mail Forwarding Made Easy!”

 

1. Engage With Your Community – Connection is social media’s most valuable currency. Boost yours by joining local business Facebook groups so you can answer mail-related questions, partner with your location’s small businesses, and congratulate other entrepreneurs in your area.

You don’t have to have a Hollywood-level production to get started with social media. The key is consistency, not perfection. Posting helpful content twice a week is better than sporadic posting, even if your content isn’t professionally produced. Your customers want authenticity and reliability – and what’s more reliable than a local mail and business center providing essential services to its local community?
