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.
