Are You Following APRO’s Digital Channels of Communication?

How do you receive news? Chances are high that your news updates come in some type of digital form. Whether news is received by email subscriptions, customized alerts, internet search engines or social media, APRO News is no different. APRO has three main channels of digital communication: website, RTOHQ.org; e-newsletter, RTO Today; and social media, Facebook and Twitter.  Each channel distributes rent-to-own industry news differently so it is important to understand the difference and what to expect from each. APRO’s website, RTOHQ.org, is the hub for all industry and association related information. Industry news is displayed on the website’s landing page as well as its own page titled “Industry News” located under the “News Publications & Advertising” pulldown tab along the top of the website’s homepage. APRO’s news page is updated as news is received. RTO Today, APRO’s bi-weekly e-newsletter, is the association website’s convenient counterpart. The newsletter is published twice a week and delivered to your email address of choice. RTO Today features industry news as well as industry alerts that directly impact your business. With plenty of articles regarding current events, you will always be up to speed with RTO happenings. You will also find information on any conferences, meetings or shows that are coming up in the next few months.
