It is a widely known and accepted fact that our personal productivity increases sharply after taking time off. This time off can be in the form of a long vacation, or even a single day where the telephone is put away, and you are disconnected from business matters entirely. It is also a well-known fact that taking time for ourselves has health benefits related to the reduction of stress. This is a huge benefit as stress is known to cause health issues and decrease personal productivity. The ironic thing about the average American response to this information, is that many try to mitigate stress by purchasing a timeshare, a boat, RV, or other toys that will inspire them to get out and enjoy more stress-free days. The rub is that these toys often cause more stress than they relieve. Additional stresses caused by maintenance fees, costly mechanical failures, and most of all; walking past your new toy that you are paying for but haven't used in months.
In response to America's obsession with buying toys to relieve stress, only to find out that they create more stress; intelligent companies have found a brilliant solution. The solution they have come up with is toys on demand. These companies offer everything from RV's, boats, quads, ATV's, and more. The best part is that these toys are available whenever you want them without the hassle or cost of ownership. At a set membership fee, the member can enjoy the activity that their specific membership offers without having to worry about maintenance, repairs, or the depreciation of the asset. They simply tell the company their membership is with when they want their toy-on-demand, and it is ready for them.
In writing this article, we interviewed one company that operates a boat club in Minnesota. They found that on average individuals who owned a boat within their service area only went out on the water ten times in 2012. Their boat club members within the same service area went out on the water more than 18 times in the same period. When we inquired as to why this was; we were told that the hassle of trailering a boat, launching it, gassing it up, and cleaning up after a day on the water was enough of a deterrent to stop many people from initiating a trip. On the other hand, those who had a boat club membership could simply call on a whim and have a boat gassed up and ready for them when they arrived with their family and friends.
As we did some more searching, we found that there were quite a few innovative companies there are helping to relieve the stress that so often comes toy ownership. Relaxation, as well as time with family, has huge benefits. Now that there are options for American families to have access to toys without the headache of ownership, it's time to put your phones away and reclaim your weekends.
