Revealing the 3 Core Values at Mailbox Project – What Values Do You Stand For?

Any business 101 course in high school or college will tell you that your organization must have some values. And not just any values will do. It can be so easy to have a brainstorming session (or through some darts at a dartboard) and come up with something quick and dirty—but is that really the message you want to send? That you didn’t take the time to think about the values that made sense for you? That you want to build your brand on? At Mailbox Project, we understand the importance of thoughtful selection of values, and we respect and value this process.

When the team at Mailbox Project established our core values in the mid-1990s, it wasn’t easy. But it wasn’t hard, either. Despite all those whiteboard sessions and endless discussions playing devil’s advocate, we kept coming back to three—impact, ownership, and integrity. And today, we continue to stand by those same three values. 

We Live and Breathe By Our Core Values 

The cool thing about our values is that they don’t represent just our business in the mailbox and signage space. Our entire team truly lives and breathes these values into everything we do. Our values make up better parents, better sisters and brothers, better spouses and partners, and better in the business. And by the end of this article, we hope you won’t just be taking our word for it.

The Value of Impact

Let’s start with impact. When we meet with our customers, we think of ourselves as problem solvers. We want to understand their challenge and solve it not the best way we can but in the best way possible. 

We don’t just deliver mail or install signs; we enhance people’s daily experiences. High-quality mail and package delivery systems ensure that your important documents and parcels arrive on time. When installing, replacing, or restoring street or neighborhood signs, we do more than just update metal and paint. We ensure everyone, from the daily commuter to the first-time visitor, can navigate safely and efficiently. A missing wayfinding sign isn’t just an inconvenience; it can lead to accidents or delays that ripple through your day. 

Imagine the frustration of late deliveries or the anxiety of lost mail. These aren’t minor inconveniences; they disrupt your day. At Mailbox Project, we understand the significance of our work. Every project we undertake is an opportunity to positively impact the quality of life for individuals and communities alike. And, we take this responsibility super seriously.

The Value of Ownership

We’re not in the business of pointing fingers. And while we’ll get into integrity shortly, we want to explain the difference between ownership and integrity. At Mailbox Project, we own coming up with a solution that will help your business—whether you’re a property owner, HOA manager, or a builder—we’re here to own creating a mail and package delivery system that works and signage that does the job perfectly.

Ownership at Mailbox Project means taking full responsibility for the solutions we provide, ensuring they meet the unique needs of every client. For instance, when a property owner approaches us with concerns about secure mail delivery, we don’t just offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we tailor a system that secures mail and enhances the property’s overall appearance. 

For an HOA manager struggling with outdated community signage, we design and implement signage that reflects the community’s identity while ensuring compliance with local regulations. And for builders needing efficient package delivery systems for new developments, we innovate solutions that integrate with their design.

The Value of Integrity

And this brings us to integrity. It isn’t at the end of our list of values because it is the least important. Rather, by valuing impact and taking ownership for our work and ourselves, we can bring the utmost in integrity to work with us every day. And we can take that integrity home with us, too. 

At Mailbox Project, integrity means conducting our business transparently, making ethical decisions even when no one is watching, and always standing by our word. It’s about the consistency of our actions, words, and values. 

When we say we will deliver a solution, we do it—not just meeting expectations but doing everything we can to exceed them. Integrity in our work extends beyond the completion of a project; it encompasses every interaction, ensuring that we are not just a service provider but a reliable partner. 

Who Do You Want to Work with For Your Mail and Package Delivery and Signage Needs?

When looking for a partner to help with your mail and package delivery, or signage installation and maintenance, you don’t necessarily want to sign on with the first provider you see. Take the time to evaluate the people behind the brand—those will become your long-time partners who are committed to bettering the community you serve. That’s where you want to place your bets. And trust us, it’s no gamble when you choose to work with Mailbox Project. We bring impact, ownership, and integrity to everything we do.
