Rent-to-own News - Premier vendor breakout session open to all vendorsTrooper Earle, Premier Companies CEO, today announced the Vendor Breakout Session, a highlight of the Premier Annual Dealer Convention is open to all vendors.
An informal table-top style event designed to forge and reinforce strategic vendor-dealer assocations, the Vendor Breakout Session encourages vendors to bring show specials.
“This event is as much about relationships as it is about purchases," Earle says. " And while it was never the intention, it seems the Premier Vendor Breakout Session may be perceived by some as an event only for existing Premier vendors. Of course, we always expect to see our approved vendors, but Premier’s franchising concept does not force dealers to buy from only a certain number of vendors. Premier dealers are looking forward to great deals, seeing vendors they do business with now, and meeting new vendors who are excited about Premier’s growth potential."

by Ed Winn III There is a growing movement to "nudge" consumers' behavior. Consider it a subtle attack on the flank of individual freedom that, if allowed to develop unchecked, could set its sights on rent-to-own. It if does, the results for rental dealers will not be pretty. A recap of the highlights at APRO's 2010 Rent-to-Own Convention and Trade Show, held July 19–22 in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition to learning, purchasing and socializing, rental dealers and vendors gathered to celebrate the association's 30th anniversary.
