Stake: Earn Cash Back on Rent, Just by Renting.

Whether you like it rare or medium, anyone who’s ordering steak would love it if their dinner paid for itself.

That said, we’re happy to introduce Stake as our latest client!

Okay, so Stake isn’t buying your dinner per se… but what they are doing is offering cash back on what is mostly likely your highest recurring expense- with no fees. That’s right, your rent! So who is Stake and how is this possible?

Stake is a team of clever minds in Proptech and Fintech - engineers, designers, marketers, and real estate experts. They’ve created a loyalty and management platform for operators, plus a suite of financial tools for renters — all in one. With the Stake Visa debit card, renters can earn unlimited cash back on all purchases. More importantly – they can earn cash back on rent every single month, and apartment complexes can offer additional cash back on a wide range of actions like on-time payments, lease renewals, or even signing a new lease. This helps operators increase occupancy and retention in their buildings, and allows renters to earn back money on a huge monthly expense they otherwise wouldn’t be able to leverage for their own growth.

They’ve flipped the script on an old system, and found a genuine win - win solution for everyone.

Our work with them centered around developing an effective sales video that succinctly explains Stake and its benefits to potential clients. Partnering with James Bannon-Schneebeck, we created an animated video that explains how Stake works to both operators and renters – usable as a storytelling tool in Stake’s sales process. We chose to create an animated video because it’s a non distracting, succinct, and visually appealing format that easily highlights and visualizes the benefits of Stake . From story boarding to final animation, we were able to highlight the common problems building operators face, and show how Stake is the perfect solution for all …stakeholders.

Working with a client whose product is something that every team member at Lavendr hopes to see in their own buildings was truly a treat. The work Stake is doing to give renters a leg up financially is really encouraging, and a huge step forward for everyone to get more value out of their homes. We’re proud to have been a part of making this a reality for renters.
