Rent-to-own News - APRO Special Products/Services Focus: Florida State Games

July 12, 2010

Do your sales people know the differences between HD Blu-Ray DVD’s and HD DVD’s?  How about the bells and whistles offered by the latest video game systems? 

 

Florida State Games exudes excitement, facts and passion for the future of a new era of interactive video gaming aimed at new audiences.  We can teach your sales people to do the same.  We can give your sales people enough confidence and product knowledge to go on the floor and sell the latest video game like a piece of consumer electronics.
   
The video game category is going through some changes.  At present a new Nintendo Wii Configuration is available in black or white with added value.  Sony is phasing out the PS3 120GB and 250GB consoles and coming out with a 160GB and 320GB slim console later this year.  A new control pad will transition the PS3 to play interactive like the Wii.  The XBOX 360 will be coming out with black systems to better mix with Home Electronics and a smaller slim 360 is expected later in the year.

Florida State Games, a major distributor for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, provides unmatched customer service and training with staff members who are extremely adept at answering questions and explaining gaming systems and how to sell them.  We attend shows, participate in managers and conference calls and are always available to help rent-to-own dealers.

 We have been in the industry since the inception of video games and have been serving the rent-to-own for the past 13 years.  Our commitment includes offering a 90 day warranty.  If anything goes wrong during that period, Florida State Games will repair or replace the system with another refurbished system.

Florida State Games has the ability to ship direct to stores, with no minimum order, from its Coconut Creek, Florida location.  A proud member of RTO Buying Groups APRO, TRIB/AVB, and Nationwide/RentDirect, we add value by bundling consoles, controllers and games, as well as offering savings and special discounts year round.

If you combine excellent customer service and relationship-building with the true privilege of working with the rent-to-own business and getting them to finesse the video game business-that’s what Florida State Games is.

A New Rent-to-Own Experience

by Neil Ferguson

Who Is Your Competition?

by Bill Keese

In order to expand your customer base, you can learn a lot by observing your competitors. But first, you need to figure out just who they are. If you think your only competition is the rent-to-own store down the street, you’re not considering the bigger picture. APRO’s executive director offers a big-picture perspective.

 

A Review of Online Customer Complaints

by Ed Winn III

While rent-to-own companies have not cornered the market on negative reviews posted on consumer complaint websites, it’s no surprise that there are cyberspace beefs against RTO. APRO’s general counsel reviews some of them in search of a pattern and he considers appropriate response to online complaints.
