Ways to approach
As a downtime activity, this has some fun potential to build contacts throughout a city or possibly even cities depending on how far ‘Clarissa’s Quick Couriers’ extends. This can be with all the various facets of society that would use this kind of service, from noble types to some possibly shady business practitioners. It can also cover the couriers themselves. Getting in good with them can open up doors to information gathering later on down the road, or even the opening for a plot if a favored NPC courier goes missing - What information did they have?
If your party is business-minded there is also the potential for money-making! With an investment, they could help this Clarissa expand their operations and offer to open a faction in another city provided, allowing them a base of operations, a front, or simply a relatively steady stream of revenue.
