How many times have you purchased an item only to use it a few times and then have to find a place to store it, or worse – get rid of it? There is a solution, and the Boston-area is the first to benefit from it!
Introducing Keenee: a virtual marketplace for renting items to and from other community members!
Gone are the days of purchasing an item you might only need for a short time. Gone are the days of shoving the items in a closet to collect dust. Instead, rent an item when you need it AND rent the items you already own to OTHER community members, too!
Everything from a carseat to a bouncy house is available to rent. Need lawn and gardening equipment? You can find that on Keenee too. Hosting a backyard baby shower or a big birthday bash? You can find all the tables, chairs, linens, tents, serving trays, lighting and games available through Keenee. Have an out of town overnight guest and need an air mattress or pack-n-play for a little one? Those are on Keenee too.
With a simple search on the Keenee app or website and you will find dozen of options. Categories include: DIY, Kids, Party and Events, Home, Vehicles and Trailers, Electronics, Leisure and Sports, Garden and more.
When you are ready to rent, simply contact the owner. Payment and insurance are all handled through Keenee, so you can feel secure about your rental. Delivery for a fee is available, too, saving you time and stress. Keenee makes it simple and saves you time by ensuring you will find what you need quickly and all from the comfort of your home via a few quick clicks right on your phone.
Moms will love the convenience of renting items as needed, but we are also excited about the option to earn money with Keenee, too! Do you have good items siting in storage not being used? Maybe you are in between kids and not ready to sell the double stroller or your fancy co-sleeper just yet. Perhaps your family schedule is jam-packed and you simply don’t have time to go mountain biking or camping right now, but you certainly want to hang on to the items you’ve invested in for when you do have time to take advantage of them again. Earn some extra cash by renting out your own items or services on the Keenee app to other families who need them! It is less wasteful and maybe best of all, it allows for your family to still use your items when you want to!
Keenee reminds us of other sharing platforms like Airbnb, but for products and services. You pick what you want when you want it and return it when you’re done!
Boston Moms is excited to see how Keenee transforms the sharing economy in Greater Boston and beyond, and we encourage you to check it out for yourself by downloading the app today!
