Why swap your flyers for StyQR?
It’s your one essential: you’d sooner leave your wallet behind than your smartphone? No judgement here, we’re exactly the same! Which is why running out of battery is such a nightmare.
With Stride, say goodbye to that problem! You can use your smartphone all day long without having to eke out your battery.
What’s the idea?
Self-service is popping up all around us: it’s THE new trend in all sorts of areas. Well, Stride is the self-service power bank scheme for your smartphone. These are portable power banks available free of charge! You can already find them in more than 30 venues in Montpellier and at events all over France.
Right, now that we have your full attention, let’s look a little closer at how it works ;)
Strideboxes, the Stride what?
They’re compact, secure power bank dispensers that the Stride team comes and installs in your venue. And on top of that, a big plus: each one holds 12 power banks to borrow!
How does it work?
Dead simple: from the Stride app, your customers can pick up an available power bank from the Stridebox in 2 taps!
Each power bank comes with several cables to fit all smartphones, as well as tablets and e-cigarettes.
Step 1: once you’ve picked up your power bank, all you need to do is plug it in to your device and carry on enjoying your day to the full.
Step 2: once your smartphone is charged, simply drop the borrowed power bank back into any Stridebox!
Best of all, the service requires nothing at all from you, so no staff time is taken up. Everything is designed to take the pressure off and make life easier.
