AcceptanceNow, a nationwide pioneer in the operation of
rent-to-own kiosks within third-party retail outlets, recently
announced it is the exclusive, preferred, staffed, no-credit-needed
vendor partner with Furniture Marketing Group (FMG), the largest
volume furniture buying cooperative in the U.S.
The deal puts AcceptanceNow in front of FMG’s 114 retail members
as a preferred vendor that could eventually result in manned kiosks
in hundreds of additional retail locations nationwide.
“FMG has a great reputation within the furniture industry, and
we are excited to be partnering with them,” said Steve McKinley,
AcceptanceNow vice president of sales and client relations. “We
believe this partnership will drive additional revenue for these
retailers through our added value program. Our proven staffed
model is adding incremental revenue for retailers that would
otherwise be lost. We are looking forward to many years of
providing growth for the retail members of FMG.”
FMG partners with over 70 major furniture suppliers and service
companies and targets medium to large, non-competing, independent
retailers throughout the country who are interested in sharing
ideas and making greater profits. With emphasis on collective
buying, networking and education, FMG has become the premier buying
group in the furniture industry. FMG members save thousands of
dollars by accessing the group’s special discounts, rebates, and
networking opportunities. FMG’s members own over 900 storefronts
and are approaching $4.0 billion in retail sales.
“After identifying a member need and responding to member
recommendations, FMG welcomes AcceptanceNow as an FMG partner,”
said Mike Herschel, FMG executive director. “Their professionally
manned in-store kiosks will increase revenue by servicing the
credit-challenged customer who would normally walk out without a
purchase.”
AcceptanceNow, a division of Rent-A-Center, Inc.
(NASDAQ/NGS:RCII), a rent-to-own industry leader, operates 1868
rent-to-own kiosks in third-party retail stores across the
country.
