Imagine a world where contracts are a thing of the past. Where smartphones and appliances are yours when you need them, and just as easy to get rid of when you’re bored with them. Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of subscriptions, where convenience meets excitement, and commitment is a dirty word.
Subscriptions are changing the way you shop; they rewrite what it means to access products. Whether you need a phone, a laptop, a treadmill, or a baby stroller, it’s right here at your fingertips. And you can get it all for affordable month-to-month payments that actually work with your monthly budget.
No more scrimping and saving to afford a product, no more going without essentials because you urgently need to buy a product, and no more committing to a product you know you only need for a short period of time.
Whether you’re a seasoned subscription aficionado or dipping your toes into the subscription waters for the first time, fear not. It’s all calm seas ahead. But still, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you stay afloat throughout your journey.
Play the Field
Commitment is messy. So why not have more fun playing the field? That’s why Rentoza exists. We’re not here to help you find The One. Think of us as like a dating app for products. We want to give you all the options so that you can test out the waters. Have fun, try something new, experiment with new products you’re curious about. Not particularly brand loyal? That’s all good! You can test out brands like Apple, Dell, Huawei, Samsung and more in an instant. Who knows, you might surprise yourself and find something you like.
But if you aren’t feeling the connection, you don’t have to ghost your product. We make it easy for you. Simply exchange your product for something new that you think you may fancy. Plus, we won’t charge you any penalty fees for changing. Finally, a reward for being fickle.
Budget Like a Boss
It’s time to whip out that budget spreadsheet like the financial guru you were born to be. Our subscriptions are made to fit into your budget, but you need to be smart about it. Now is the time to review what you spend your money on, and consider how subscriptions can lighten the load.
Are you paying an insane amount of money on a phone contract that includes SMS for some reason? Why not subscribe to one instead? Spending a lot of time and money heading to the laundromat every week because you don’t have a washing machine? We’ve got a few that you can subscribe to right now to lighten your load – literally.
Once you’ve done a financial audit, you can budget a lot easier. For example, if you know that you only have R500 in a month to spend on a baby car seat, select the option that fits into your budget. Set aside a designated amount each month for subscriptions, and stick to it like glue. This way, it frees up money elsewhere that you can use for savings, or for a bit of fun.
The best part? Subscriptions aren’t credit. That means you’re only spending what you have, no going into debt.
Brand Alignment
It’s all about the brands, baby. When picking out your next subscription, make sure to think deeply about the brands you choose. To get the most out of your subscription, it’s best to make sure that you can use it with the tech you already have.
For example, if you’ve already got an iPhone, it’s wise to get Apple AirPods that seamlessly integrate with your existing device. If you’re a Samsung fan, make sure your smartwatch has the same label. These products were designed to live in tandem; it’s best to keep them in a family so that you can be sure they will work to their utmost potential so you can truly get your money's worth.
If you do want to play the field anyway, then that’s still fine: With Rentoza you can subscribe to the phone and the other stuff. Easy.
Upgrade your Tech
Want to step up your tech? Don’t let your current devices hold you back. Even if your subscription term has a few months left, you can upgrade at any point in your subscription journey.
Is that new iPhone calling your name? Or maybe you’ve got an entry-level laptop but you’re ready to level up to something with better graphics and power for your gaming sessions. Whatever your reason, you can easily upgrade your product. In fact, we want you to, and we won’t charge you a cent for changing your subscription before it ends. All you have to do is pay the new subscription fee for your upgrade.
Subscriptions are here to make your life easier. With just a few smart moves, you’ll be on your way to living your best life in no time.
Commitment is messy. Just Rentoza it.
