Bungee tags
It’s the week after the holidays, you’re out and about busily running errands when you suddenly realize your wallet is missing! …Don’t panic, it has a Bungee wallet card in it! Within minutes, you receive a text message saying that your wallet has been found, and is available for retrieval at the nearest coffee shop.
With a simple text message, Bungee tags (http://bungeetags.com/) aim to end the problem of lost valuables, forever!
Bungee allows people to anonymously tag their property and link it to their cell phone number and email address. If an item is found, the tag on the item instructs the finder to send a text message to Bungee. Bungee immediately alerts the owner that their property has been found and then bridges an anonymous conversation between the 2 parties so that a return can be arranged. Tested throughout the country, Bungee tags have an 85% success rate.
They are also priced affordably, at $15 for one year coverage, $35 for 5 years of coverage, and $95 for a family plan that covers 5 individuals for 5 years. Each set of tags covers 22 items, including a wallet card and keychain tag (the family plan covers 110 items). Bungee tags can be applied and used on any anything including sunglasses, keys, wallets, laptops, cell phones, children’s toys, and more. The possibilities are endless!
