How it Works
Clothing RentalHow Clothing Rental Works
1. Build Your Rental Inventory
Start by curating a collection of quality clothing items. Begin with designer pieces, occasion wear, or trending items from your existing wardrobe. Take professional photos from multiple angles, measure each piece accurately, and create detailed descriptions including brand, size, fabric, and condition notes.
2. List Your Items on Rental Platforms
Create accounts on clothing rental platforms like Style Lend, Tulerie, or By Rotation. Set competitive rental prices (typically 10-15% of retail value for a 4-day rental), define your rental periods, and establish clear policies for damages, late returns, and cleaning. Optimize your listings with seasonal keywords and styling suggestions.
3. Manage Booking Requests
When renters request your items, respond promptly to inquiries and approve bookings based on your availability calendar. Confirm rental dates, communicate any special care instructions, and prepare for the rental period by ensuring the item is clean and in excellent condition.
4. Handle Logistics & Delivery
Package items professionally with garment bags, tissue paper, and clear return instructions. Ship to the renter using tracked methods or arrange local pickup/delivery depending on your platform and preferences. Maintain communication with the renter throughout the process to ensure a positive experience.
5. Process Returns & Maintenance
When items are returned, inspect them thoroughly for damage, clean according to fabric requirements, and prepare for the next rental. Collect payment through the platform (typically within 24-72 hours after successful return). Track your rental history, maintain your inventory, and reinvest profits to expand your collection.
