The PackageHub™ Goal:
PBC on the Door = Million Dollar Store
We want a lot of things for our members, and at the top of that list is helping you hit the "Million Dollar Store" mark. At Retail Shipping Associates, we do our best to help lay out a clear path by recruiting vendors for the RS Premium Supplier program and holding training events to help you succeed... PackageHub Business Centers™ (PBC) is going to take it a step further.
PBC will have a lot more power and flexibility when it comes to carriers and vendors, which is part of PBC’s “action plan” to get your store to the million-dollar mark, but there’s more to it than just making deals and discounts, you have to take action!
An “action plan” is a call to act, and PBC wants you to do your part to reach that million-dollar goal: Make your plans now to participate in the RS Workshop April 19, 2019 in Dallas, TX.

This April, RS Associates will bring together some of the industry’s top performers and suppliers with over 100 years of combined experience, to show you how to make your store a top performer.
