Snowboards to rent: Blue Tomato launches its international "Rent Your
Ride" rental service
- Boardsports and lifestyle specialist from Schladming sees great demand
in this segment
- Boards and bindings can be picked in selected shops or online
- Pick-up of individual setups directly in the shop or home delivery
(22.12.2021, Schladming) - International boardsports and lifestyle
specialist Blue Tomato also offers selected products for rent. With the
new "Blue Tomato Rent Your Ride" programme established last year,
customers can rent high-quality snowboards, splitboards, boots and
bindings. This year, there are now several shops in Germany, Austria and
the Netherlands where customers can get professional advice and rent the
latest products on the market directly on site. But it is also possible to
order online. The individually assembled setup can then be collected from
any shop or sent to the customer's home.
All information on the rental system is available at
www.blue-tomato.com/rent-your-ride.
With more than 400,000 products and over 600 employees, Blue Tomato is one
of the world's largest online retailers in the fields of snowboarding,
freeskiing, surfing, skateboarding and street style. Jürgen Kranabitl,
Director of Business and Process Development, explains the decision for
Blue Tomato's new service: "We see a high demand from our customers for
'renting instead of buying' snowboards, and thus also the corresponding
market potential. In classic ski rentals, the snowboard sector is often
neglected - especially when customers want to rent snowboards in top
condition with an expert advice. With Rent Your Ride, we want to offer our
customers the opportunity to rent the latest snowboards. With us, they get
individual first-hand consulting and the best snowboard for their
holidays."
Fast progresses in snowboard development
impede the purchase decision
In addition, there have been great leaps in development in the snowboard
industry in recent years, which are still difficult to grasp for many
customers. "These include the numerous different snowboard shapes for
carving on the piste, playful floating in powder, freestyle in the park
and on the piste or splitboarding outside the serviced resorts", says
Kranabitl. "The option of renting and extensively testing high-quality
boards, bindings, avalanche equipment and more before deciding to buy can
be very helpful in finding the perfect setup for your own needs."
Currently 14 "Rent Your Ride" shops
The new "Rent Your Ride" offer includes a large selection of boards for
women, men and children as well as the associated equipment. Currently, 14
shops in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands are already stocked with the
corresponding range. Snowboards, splitboards, bindings, boots, poles and
skins can be selected and rented here. Qualified shop staff with a lot of
experience and know-how are available for detailed advice. Those who
prefer to browse online can assemble their setup at
www.blue-tomato.com/rent-your-ride
and then pick it up at any shop in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands or
have it sent to their home. Returns can also be made in the shop or by
return shipment.
Test & Buy: Get a voucher for your
purchase
Blue Tomato is the retailer with the most new products. The selection of
the latest high-quality boards from the hottest brands for all riding
levels from beginner to expert and for all areas of use - whether piste,
pow or park - is huge. Customers can even change the rented setup if it
doesn't meet their expectations. And if you like the rented setup so much
that you don't want to give it back, you will receive a 35 Euros voucher
for the purchase of your new snowboard within the "Test & Buy" offer.
Blue Tomato "Service Your Ride"
If you already have your own setup at home, you can still benefit from the
know-how of the Blue Tomato team. Blue Tomato "Service Your Ride" offers
state-of-the-art wax, edge and base service. The focus here is explicitly
on a manual service, as this is the only way to achieve the best results,
which is not possible with automatic machines. In contrast to its
competitors, Blue Tomato specialises in servicing both snowboards and
freeskis. The setup can be handed in at shops in Germany, Austria or the
Netherlands. As soon as the service is completed, you receive a
notification and your equipment is ready for action.
