I assumed this would be about real estate as well - the tagline feels somewhat misleading. Much as I hate "X for Y" descriptions of products, calling this "Shopify for rental businesses" would definitely communicate what it does more clearly.
- chris140957 6y agoIt probably needs updating, think this is a UK vs US English thing
- qubex 6y agoMaybe it doesn’t need ‘updating’, because British English isn’t a deprecated anachronism that needs to be patched and brought up to date, thank you very much.
- chris140957 6y agoI need to change the tag line to make it clearer internationally, and the product name because, as someone has pointed out, it’s actually already taken
- vonmoltke 6y agoI don't think it's a language thing so much as dedicated "hire shops" not being much of a thing in the US outside of certain touristy areas. Even then, they tend to be really low-budget operations that rely on foot traffic or hotel partnerships.
- User23 6y agoWould like to echo this feedback. To US residents the name strongly implies real estate.
- dfxm12 6y agoFor me, it was more the tagline than the name. "Rental empire" brings up ideas of acquiring more and more land to rent to peasants. "Rentify" alone could be AirBNB, but it could also be Rent-a-Center. The right tagline would remove the ambiguity.
