[UKPRwire, Thu Jan 11 2007] The more ‘stuff’ one person owns, the more stuff they lose! In today’s climate of personal accessories such as mobile phones, laptops, PDAs, iPods, cameras, passports, wallets and purses, briefcases and keys it’s easy to lose something! But Loseitback has made its business out of this problem, by providing the solution!
Loseitback.com helps prevent loss of valuables. Their service allows consumers to purchase specially designed labels that they attach to their personal items such as a mobile phone. Each label has a unique i.d number, that they then register on line at their website (www.loseitback.com) or over the phone. The label also has the loseitback.com web address (also a freephone no.) and a ‘return for reward’ notice on it. In the unfortunate event they lose their item, a member of staff, a police officer or a good Samaritan motivated by the reward can log online or freephone 24/7 and report it found.
As soon as loseitback.com receives notification of a found item, a member of the call centre liases between ‘finder’ and ‘loser’ to get the item returned. Both the finder and the loser’s details are kept confidential unless they are both happy for them to be divulged to each other. The reward for the finder is a loseitback.com giftpack however the owner also has the option of giving an additional reward.
There has already been a great response from product manufacturers and insurance companies who are now working with loseitback.com as a partner. Manufacturers are offering their items with the loseitback.com solution as standard and insurance companies are issuing loseitback.com labels to people who have insurance cover with them to reduce the number of claims and saving the insurance company huge costs in paying out in insurance claims.
