THE recently-introduced Pgeon Store is a programme that is designed to offer enterprising Malaysians a new and low barrier to entry opportunity to grow their business by turning their business premises into points for parcel drop offs and pickups.
By becoming a Pgeon Store Agent, MSMEs, SMEs and solo entrepreneurs alike will be able to expand eCommerce growth while simultaneously building exposure for their brands both online and offline.
Speaking on the Pgeon Store solution, Pgeon founder and CEO Clarence Leong said: “Even as more restrictions get lifted and the economy recovers (from the pandemic), a multi-stream revenue model is a necessity in the new normal.
“Our Pgeon Store programme looks to provide just that for businesses and entrepreneurs – a secure additional source of income that comes with minimal investment and a big upside.”
With a target of getting 1,000 new agents to join the programme by the end of this year, it is to note that any interested party can become a Pgeon Store agent with a RM1,000 starting capital.
Vetting for potential agents is done in as fast as one week and they can then start to operate as an agent earning as high as 50% commissions on a range of services including parcel drop offs, parcel booking as well as agent and top-up referrals.
The system also allows agents to potentially increase their earnings through the sale of packaging materials and supplies.
The Pgeon Store programme offers four tiers of partnership that cater to different needs and capacities of respective SMEs and entrepreneurs.
The tiers include Lite, Standard, Plus and Caravan. Each tier comes in at different investment levels and varying space requirements.
The Pgeon Store programme also looks to assist agents by increasing footfall within their stores which in turn could boost performance of their primary business.
“We wanted the programme not only to act as a means of additional income but to further benefit these agents by converting their premises into drop off points that will encourage consumers to visit their physical stores.
“On top of this, through the programme we will highlight their premise on digital platforms – enabling them to gain marketing exposure both online and offline,” Leong added.
