This business model focuses on providing value-driven baby sleep solutions through rental services to new parents with babies under 1 year old. By outsourcing manufacturing and fulfillment, the company aims to address the common challenge of babies not sleeping well. The strategy includes leveraging referrals, blogs, and word-of-mouth to create demand and emphasize the benefits of the product. The innovative rental model allows customers to use the product for 3 months, return it if not satisfied, and potentially rent again in the future.
