The "AHA" Moment - A Protection Epiphany
It didn't take long for Fran to realize that partnering with Tint would be the next best thing for BabyQuip. Actually, in Fran's words, the "AHA" moment struck "pretty much immediately" from the initial discussions. Fran and the entire BabyQuip team recognized the importance of providing assurance and coverage to renters and Quality Providers.
"We know that things happen, and customers and Quality Providers want to have the assurance that there's coverage they can trust for those instances." Moreover, Fran could foresee how the collaboration would allow BabyQuip to create its own profit center by enhancing its service fees, a win-win situation for everyone.
The Tint Onboarding Experience - Smooth Sailing Ahead
Contrary to competitors or traditional insurance companies, the onboarding process with Tint was remarkably smooth sailing for BabyQuip. "Smooth sailing" is actually a direct quote from Fran. When we asked her what seemed to make all the difference for the BabyQuip team during the onboarding process, for BabyQuip, it was Tint's expertise in understanding potential exposures and attention to detail.
"Tint has the expertise we needed to bring to light the details, like what might become an exposure for us and that made a huge difference in our ability to gain confidence in our solution."
Because Tint ensured that every "i" was dotted and every "t" was crossed, the collaboration effort sailed through any unforeseen challenges.
A Sigh of Relief - Protection Program Pays Off
The official launch of BabyQuip’s Damage Waiver protection solution marked a resounding success for BabyQuip.
Fran expressed her relief and satisfaction as the solution exceeded their expectations, saying, "The solution Tint provided has completely met and exceeded our expectations, from the moment it launched to how it has progressed in terms of overall cost and ROI. The expertise, app, and especially the dashboards, in my opinion, have been extremely helpful."
The combination of protection expertise and innovative technology offered by Tint played a pivotal role in ensuring the solution’s success, but let's talk bottom line. How did partnering with Tint.ai for their Damage Protection program impact the business?
With a smile, Fran said, "The protection program that we have created with Tint adds about $2 dollars to every order, even with the expenses related to it; that really makes a difference in our overall GMV and cost of our overall margin."
“It is a no-brainer to take advantage of being able to offer CFAR coverage! We all know the disruptions we have experienced in the past few years from the pandemic, of course, but also including what the weather has done with natural disasters being so much more prevalent.”
