Yo, I’m working on a new way for people to rent items but for cheaper rates by buying days in bulk. If you’re unsure about buying in bulk we also do 3 day rental and apply the price you pay to your upgrade! (Just serving the Bay Area rn) Delivery and pick up is free!! Some of our first items are DJIs and cameras Check it out here: http://useparta.com/alpha Appreciate any feedback :) TC: 30K
Seems similar to Lumoid ( https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/10/why-gear-rental-marketplace-lumoid-shut-down/ ) - have you spoken to the guys who worked there to understand how your service might be unique?
Yeah definitely, shot an email to them to chat, thanks!
I feel like you might have better success sticking to a single vertical and then proving that out. For example, just camping stuff. We go camping like 3 times a year and camping gear is bulky so we rent it. But we have to go find a sports basement and while those guys are cool and it works, it’s another hassle, esp with returns (have to clean it or will get fined, have to make it back by a certain day). The best rental experience I’ve had was renting a suit from The Black Tux for my wedding. Took basic measurements, they sent a suit to me by mail, tried it on and sent it back, then real suit came a week before. There was an issue and they immediately overnighted a new suit at no cost. Your site looks very random and I don’t know what “share” means. Twitch started out being everything to everyone, but gaming was its core and today, even after all our attempts to diversify content, gaming is still the same vertical that wins.
Thanks a bunch for the feedback! The tux rental experience is a great insight. Agree with you about targeting a vertical, we’re working on it (right now it’s scattered and probably confusing). Do you have any suggestions about clearer communication for “share”, it’s something we’re struggling with - appreciate your thoughts :)
