DHL signs an agreement with the Aragonese franchise Foticos
As of July 1st, DHL services are available through the Aragonese chain of photograph stores, Foticos, thanks to an agreement signed by both companies.
The agreement will allow the 900,000 residents of the province of Zaragoza to use DHL’s comprehensive transport services, for both domestic and international shipments. The agreement, slated to begin in the month of July in Zaragoza-based Foticos stores, will later expand to other Foticos establishments in provinces including Huesca, Teruel, Barcelona, La Rioja and Gipuzkoa.
This partnership has been developed in response to the growing demand for transport services among such groups as small businesses, the professions and personal shipments, as well as the ever-increasing immigrant population, which in Zaragoza now accounts for 5,000 inhabitants, or 2% of the total population.
Geographic coverage, guaranteed transit times and convenience (packaging solutions, document service, etc.) are key factors in fulfilling the needs of small businesses seeking to raise their profiles in Spain and abroad, as well as the professions and individual customers. Therefore, DHL provides comprehensive services for both domestic and international transport needs, making sure their customers’ shipments arrive in Seville, Buenos Aires or anywhere else around the globe under the best possible conditions.
To answer the needs of these groups, Foticos will provide the best offer in transport services, Zaragoza being a major transportation hub between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe. Thanks to the DHL facility in PLAZA, with more than 20,000 square metres and the latest technology, the company can guarantee the best in domestic and international transport services and logistics.
In addition, the synergies between DHL and the products and services provided by its partners, such as the Foticos franchise of photography stores, offer value enhancement since now customers can enjoy one-stop-shopping, taking care of their photography needs and immediately sending photographs anywhere around the world.
These new outlets form part of an already extensive network throughout Spain, and which expects to grow threefold over the next two years. To this end, DHL plans to make important investments to further its offer and consolidate its brand image in this market segment. Simple, one-stop-shopping domestic and international offer, high-quality packaging at no extra cost, an automatic document management system and, of course, a network of collaborators who are all leaders in their respective sectors, shall be the mainstays of this project.
