Teljoy to help students to receive the comforts of home

Besides the desire to keep up with the latest trends, Teljoy understands the expense associated with setting up a home away from home for one's child. Apart from the exhilarating technological gadgets such as tablets and sound systems, which most young adults aspire to own, equipping a residential room or apartment requires basic necessities such as a fridge, microwave, television and laptop, to name but a few requirements.

Now Teljoy can help one out with their easy rental option rather than the rigidity that comes with buying on credit. No deposit is required, and there is no long term debt lock-in. One can upgrade or return at any time, and there is also the option to take ownership at the end of the agreement. Additional benefits includes the set-up of one's appliance and the TV-licence is also included as part of the rental with all TV sets. Should one's appliance break during the rent-to-own period, Teljoy will also fix the item as part of the maintenance plan included in the rental service.

“We have seen an increasing number of students from tertiary institutions signing up for our services. It certainly assists mom and dad to control their budgets and expenses”, says Estie du Toit, marketing manager at Teljoy. “We are also accepting applications from students who are applying on their own, despite the fact that most students don’t have a credit record.”

If one has a child studying at North West University, another benefit of going the Teljoy route is their assistance when residence students need to evacuate their rooms during holiday breaks. Teljoy offers two options: rent-to-own, where one has an option to take ownership of the appliance or a monthly rental offer (without ownership). With the renting only option, Teljoy includes storage for the students’ Teljoy appliances during the break, free of charge.

Teljoy promoters and sales representatives are going to be at the North West University campus during the registration period, providing parents with the opportunity to find out about the rental company’s services and products. During this time, parents and students can make the necessary rental arrangements. But one doesn't need to wait until January. For more information, visit www.teljoy.co.za.

“We look forward to being part of registration week at the North West University campus and assisting parents and students, helping them experience a ‘home away from home’ and playing a role in easing the way into their chosen careers,” concludes Du Toit.
