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."

The Year of the Tiger According to Chinese astrology, the Year of the Tiger begins in February 2010. Tiger John Cleek is making the most of it as he winds down his two-year term as APRO’s president. He reflects on personal and industry-wide accomplishments and the love of family that sustains him.
In the 30-year history of the Association of Progressive Rental Organizations, 17 rental dealers have served as president. To mark APRO’s special anniversary, 15 of these leaders share their experiences in helping to shape the rent-to-own industry.
The Keep Rate Conundrum Calculating keep rate does not seem to improve the rent-to-own business in any discernible way—and yet this calculation, beyond all the others, has had enormous legal and political implications for rent-to-own almost since its inception.
Vendor Spotlight: What's in a Name? These three departed rent-to-own vendors--Joe Eason, Tom Kitchens and Norm Smith--live on, their names indelibly linked to key industry events and honors.
