Reason 1: Huge market demand for power bank sharingHOT

There is a huge market for the power bank sharing, indeed. And we can know why from the following 3 aspects:

Concept 1: Good assistant for outdoor emergency charging – shared power bank

There is no doubt that consumers have the huge potential demand for the power bank rental. Let’s imagine, what if people’s mobile phones are run out of power outdoor but take no personal power banks with them? To buy a new personal power? Of course, they can buy a new one once, twice, for 3 times, but if it is over 3 times, is it still really necessary to purchase a new one?

phone power is running out

The answer might be “No” in many people’s mind, these people may tend to rent a power bank because renting one at the lower price is a more cost-effective choice. What’s more, they never need to take a personal power bank with them, which makes their luggage heavier, any longer!

Rent power banks at one venue, and return them at the same one or any other venue under the power bank sharing network, which makes it possible to realize “charge on the go” lifestyle. So convenient!

These people who love such lifestyle are the target users to the power bank sharing business. As time goes by, mobile payment industry develops, and the smart phone users are more and more, people who need the emergent charging outdoor soars, and the target users increase, too.

Hence, the market demand is huge and just has not yet reached its full potential (we can see this phenomenon at Reason 2). If only lay out around those target users from now on, and enter their life gradually. Once their power bank renting habits formed, you will be their first choice.

You successfully took the preemptive opportunity at your market, which means the latter comers are hard to beat you even if they recognize the profitability of this power bank sharing business.

Concept 3: Promoter of economic activities – portable charger rental

As we have mentioned at concept 1 that the development of the payment industry makes people hard to take a bus, do shopping, having meals outdoor normally without smart phones, so the smart phones increased.

On the contrary, the increasing smart phones can also make the mobile payment industry grow faster and faster so as to promote further economic growth. After all, electric payment is far more convenient than traditional cash payment, and the transaction failure because of insufficient cash with consumers themselves will not happen.

Generally speaking, investments include the labor cost, time cost, capital cost, technique cost, production cost and so on. Let’s analyze these costs together!

1. A vending machine – no need a salesperson

As we know, the power bank station is also a vending machine. There is no need to hire a salesperson for the manual renting and money collection process.

Users can easily follow renting tips on the power bank App to complete the rent independently step by step. The payment will be deducted from their bank card automatically when they return the power banks. Much labor cost and time cost saved!

2. Repeated rent – no need continuous restocking

Actually, the power bank vending machine is different from other vending machines that the power bank vending machine sells the power banks’ using rights of the unit time rather than their ownership. That is to say, one same power bank can be bought the using right repeatedly, which means that other vending machines need continuous restocking while the power bank station doesn’t. Then the long-term restocking cost, also the capital cost, are saved.

Similarly, if you want your power banks on rent to be found and rent repeatedly by your target consumers, a good power bank rental business plan is essential. Here are 3 key points which can contribute to making your plan a good one and help you earn your cost back rapidly as follows:

Point 1: Attractive power bank station appearance and functions

For one thing, human beings love beautiful things, it is the nature, so good-looking power bank stations can grab people’s attention immediately and attract them to have a try; for another, people prefer cost-effective products, it is the instinct, so multifunctional power bank stations are meant to be more popular when other conditions are similar.

So you can choose the good designed power bank stations and its portable power banks contained. For example, sharing power banks with LCD ads screen, and power banks supporting multiple charging methods and compatible for various device models, are both good choices.

Point 2: Clever venue layout and type

You may observe a phenomenon that the economy is more booming at the places where there is a lot of traffic. Why? Because there are demands only if there are people, then transactions occur.  

At some degree, the more traffic there is, the easier the business is. Therefore, only if lay out your venues at the crowded places, your target users are more likely to find and pay for your products & services.

Find the crowded areas such as the famous tourist attractions, malls, cinemas, amusement parks, bustling commercial streets, choose the spots with the most traffic as your shared power bank venues, like the entrance of the cinema, the most popular stores or the corner near the escalator at the malls, the shop entrance at the tourist attractions… Besides, you can choose the stores whose working time is longer, like the 24-hour stores. And you would witness the great effect!

Point 3: Reasonable price strategy

Reasonable price is also the reason why users choose your power bank sharing service rather than others’. For example, you can leave some time ( 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour…) for users to try your power bank sharing service then decide whether to pay for it or not. I believe that you never need to worry about being tested by users if your products and services good.

Here is a tip that you’d better not set the renting price too high, or many customers will not consider your service any longer. To let your power banks sharing business run better and longer, the secret is the repeated rent (then the mutual benefits between shared power bank companies and users can be realized) rather than getting as much profits as you can from your users once.
