The place to rent anything - blog
Freestyle radical and founder of this here website rentoid.com has written an article we think some of our rentoid peeps would enjoy.
It’s focus is about how corporations can be a part of the solution to climate change, but only once they realise what the problem actually is.
We reckon we know a good deal when we see one at rentoid… and here’s one worth talking about. Get the use of a snack vending machine for free.
They give you the vending machine for the use of your ’space’. Sure there’s some conditions, but it’s a good way to keep employees happy and make a bit of spare cash with the extra 2 meter’s squared you have in your office or workshop. We’re pretty sure you’d be able to cut a profit share too.

Rentoid says - get on it while it’s still available.
More ugliness has just raised it’s head from the economic basket case otherwise known as the USA. The Ford Super Cheif. Pictured below:
Yep - we hate this car too, and reckon it represents all that is bad. So we’ve thrown it in with the Hummers and banned them from rentoid.com
“Boo Hiss” to the Ford Motor co.
(pssst… the world is changing around you… maybe you should get out of the factory or office once in a while to check it out)

So rentoiders it’s over to you… Happy blogging!
Cheers, the rentoid team.
At rentoid - our main goal is to help people connect.
To get the stuff they need, to lead the life they want. In essence this means we’ll be able to help people out which makes us feel pretty goo. .If we help someone make some cash renting stuff out to others, or save some cash ny renting instead of buying, that’s cool too.
But we realise it’ll take us a while to let people know we can do this, and learn how to help people do it so we can improve our service.
With this in mind we thought we’d share this meme from the Cluetrain guys which really summarises our belief system perfectly. We aim to do all, and be all that this slide presentation suggests. So be sure to let us know how we are going, and how we can do better. We just do stuff our members request - no boardroom decisions here at rentoid.com

Stuff is temporary, experiences are permanent.
The things which last forever are life experiences. memories we have and talk about tend to be the times we have and the things we do - not have.
As a thought kick starter, check out our rockstar list of things for rent. Remember, you can tag stuff which deserves to be on it.
Accumulate life experience, not stuff!
Here’s an intersting snippet from the latest Australia Scan report.
Having put Kevin in place, Australians are confident that he’ll tackle the big picture things that were concerning them like the environment, education and working hours (they hated Work Choices).
That means that they’re pretty happy to be able to focus more on the things that really matter to them: their families, friends, home and the things they enjoy.
Economic confidence is up, but there are some clouds on the horizon which are just beginning to touch Australian’s consciousness. The stock market is the first. Inflation is bubbling up and there are more risks down the track that they don’t know about.
At the same time, the cynicism about business is rising, in no small part prompted by a rash of opportunistic ‘green’ claims
What this means for marketers and advertisers is that the cosy sunshine of now may not last and it is imperative to look very closely at their brand promise and the accuracy of their targetting. The key for 2008 will be Brand Sincerity.
With the unsettled and somewhat hollow sense of the last years of the Howard Government behind them, Australians are looking forward to fresh, clever, new ideas to make a brighter future.
They’ll be more open to advice, tips and tricks from experts on everything from easy ‘green’ to easy makeovers, to easy car choices. At the same time they’ll be valuing good old-fashioned home comforts and family support.
At rentoid we live by our claims. We believe in what we do and want to teach Australia about the ‘real’ benefits of renting. we want a business which doesn’t destroy the environment in the first place. So be sure to keep us up to our promise.
* Thanks for you patience. Everything is back on track. Yep!
Hey rentoiders,
You might have noticed we’re got an issue with our search function on the front page. Our rock-star tech dudes are on it and will have it fixed in no time. Meanwhile, check out whatever you need to rent using the drop down category option under the find tab. Yep it sucks and we know it, its just one of those things that we have to deal with. We’ll be back up and running at full stream before you have time to say; “Rentoid connects owners and renters of almost anything”.
Sorry about the glitch everyone!
Cheers, the rentoid team
