There is another upside to using Gea- ro — it provides an easy way to connect with millennials. As Barone explained, Gearo offers a convenient way to speak their language, and become part of the online sharing economy. As far as pricing goes, Gearo does not charge vendors to sign up for the service. Vendors first have to be ap- proved to list their products, for quality purposes, and after that Gearo takes a cut of any transaction completed through its platform. A discounted commission rate is also available for vendors that choose to do all of their transactions in the platform. The great part about this service is that it doesn’t require any onsite infra- structure to set up. Gearo is an online business, so it eliminates capex, and most opex, for store owners. m Start ‘emUp Gearo Benefits and Cut of Transactions Gearo Marketplace Free Gearo online shop 3% Custom API to display products on your site Marketing exposure to Gearo community Free customer support Gearo Booking Platform Free Gearo online shop 6% Custom API to display products on your site Marketing exposure to Gearo community Free customer support Inventory management Rental calendar management Order management Customer management Activity reports Listing on the Gearo Marketplace is free; commission does not include the credit card transaction fee of 3% TM 3-YEAR SHELF LIFE! * *From date of manufacturing if stored at 80˚f or less.
