EXPLAIN WHY.

"I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore and I get money out of it."

"To get some money back from my investment."

"Because I need to get rid of it anyway."

"It's too difficult to carry all the furniture way back to my city."

"Because is way faster and reliable than selling each one of my furniture as a

particular to some stranger. Also, the meeting part is tedious and having to cross-

check schedules and the inevitable price reduction is demolishing."

"If I'm leaving I want to sell everything as soon as possible for a good price."

"Because I dont want to throw them away when Im in a hurry."

"Depends on the customer journey. If the process is efficient. Otherwise 2nd hand

selling platforms suffice."

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Former ELISAVA STUDENT from

Colombia says:

"When I got to Barcelona, I had to buy

all my furniture from IKEA and because

of a family issue, I had to leave abruptly

and I left everything behind. I lost

money, time and all my furniture and

this usually happens to a lot of people

that leave Barcelona. They leave it

behind either for the next people

renting the place or their landlords."

EXPAT TESTIMONIAL
A consultant from Australia says:

"When my partner and I arrived in

Barcelona, we needed to buy

everypiece of furniture, including

washing machine, electronics, etc.

Unfortunately, we gave everything to

the landlord because of the lack of

time. We ended up making a deal for a

discount on the last month of rent."

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Second-year MBA STUDENT from

ESADE says:

"I'm leaving in a couple of days and I just

want to get rid of stuff I bought while I

was living here. I don't care much about

the money but I don't want to leave things

behind for my landlord since he'll probably

throw them away."

WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY?

WINDOWS TO THE PAST

Established in 1992, Singapore.

"Every home says a little bit about the person living in it. It reflects a

personality and lifestyle of the resident. And what brings it alive is the

furniture and embellishments that adorn it."

Many corporate companies, expatriates, and locals in Singapore have

benefited from the WTP furniture leasing advantage.

WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY?

RENT-A-CENTER
Established in 1986, USA.

"Our rental-purchase agreements are designed to appeal to a wide

variety of customers by allowing them to obtain merchandise that they

might otherwise be unable to obtain due to insufficient cash resources

or a lack of access to credit."
