RecRe Launches at Utah State Campus Recreation
Utah State University is officially the newest partner of RecRe! In partnership with Campus Recreation, we’ve installed four RecRe boxes across two bustling recreation spaces, revolutionizing how students access equipment and how staff manage inventory.
The highlight of this deployment? A brand-new revenue-generating feature for climbing shoes! Utah State is leveraging the RecRe Revshare platform, enabling students to rent climbing shoes for a small fee through the RecRe app. No more waiting in long lines at the check-out desk—students can now enjoy a seamless rental experience, leaving more time for scaling walls and tackling their next climb.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. Alongside climbing shoes, students can also borrow racquetball gear, basketballs, and other recreation essentials—completely free of charge! Whether it’s a pickup game or an afternoon on the courts, RecRe makes it easier than ever for students to stay active.
A Win-Win for Staff and Students
Before RecRe, the Campus Recreation team was managing over 50 climbing shoe rentals every day, manually—a time-intensive process involving computers, spreadsheets, and occasional headaches. Now, with self-service rentals, the staff can focus on what matters most: climber safety and enhancing programming. Real-time inventory control, automated processes, and clear data insights give administrators a powerful tool to simplify operations.
For students, the ease of browsing, renting, and returning gear through the RecRe app is a game-changer. RecRe combines modern convenience with ultimate flexibility, offering administrators the choice to charge rental fees, set free periods, and even add optional late fees when needed.
Unlocking Revenue Potential with RecRe Revshare
RecRe Revshare is designed to help universities generate revenue with minimal effort. Using Stripe Connect, an industry-leading payment processor, campuses like Utah State can securely handle rentals, charges, and payouts without lifting a finger. Stripe manages all payment processing, ensuring compliance with the highest standards while automatically issuing daily payouts to the university.
Endless Possibilities for Revenue Generation
Utah State’s climbing shoes are just the beginning for on-campus revenue generation. Imagine the potential for spaces like:
• Game Rooms and Student Unions: Charge a small fee to rent billiards gear, ping-pong paddles, or esports equipment.
• Outdoor Adventure Programs: Rent out hiking and camping gear like tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks for a few dollars a day.
• Specialty Facilities: Offer premium rentals for items like fitness trackers, GoPros, or even cooking kits for student events.
The possibilities are endless, and the process is simple—making RecRe a go-to solution for campuses eager to enhance their offerings while generating new revenue streams.
Looking Ahead
With the successful launch at Utah State University, we’re excited to see how RecRe transforms campus recreation, creating a better experience for both students and staff.
