IT HARDWARE LEASING – A COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET THE LATEST TECH

Subscription plans are not a new concept, with consumers happy to spread the cost of a new iPhone or a larger item such as a car. However, the popularity of so-called subscription deals are becoming increasingly popular, with a recent article in the New York Times coining the term, the “Gilded Age of renting,” with the rental of all sorts of items becoming common practice.

From renting an apartment to the items inside it, using a subscription-based service is not just a trend but is becoming the norm, as it allows consumers to live in the moment and plan for the future by spreading the cost of a range of items.

This model has been long-established in the tech industry, enabling businesses to have access to the latest technology without the large price tag through a subscription plan.

Reporting on this subject, Forbes quoted research from the Economist, which stated “80% of companies are seeing a change in how their customers want to access and pay for goods and services and 50% of these same companies are changing their pricing models as a result.”
