When RentDirect members select the new communication page, they will see the most popular programs available from vendors and from RentDirect.

A new members-only communication page unveiled by RentDirect Nationwide is positioned by company executives as the largest single source of purchasing information available anywhere in the RTO industry.

The buying group's latest addition to Member Net is a user-friendly "site within a site." According to RentDirect Executive Director, James MacAlpine, "When RentDirect members select the new communication page, they will see the most popular programs available from vendors and from RentDirect. This gives our members instant access to the latest updates on available programs."

MacAlpine stresses that not only does the communication page present timely information, but it also provides the basic program details rental dealers need to know in order to make the most cost-efficient product purchases for their company.

"Every RentDirect vendor is represented via a single-sheet "pdf" file that explains their exclusive program for RentDirect members. These program sheets are sorted by category, such as electronics, appliances, furniture, etc., and they contain information on terms, volume rebates, quarterly rebates, early pay discounts, additional annual rebates, OMS discounts, and much more. Each single-sheet also includes shipping and warranty information so dealers understand complete program details. These single sheets are easily printed off and can be put in a binder for reference, or dealers can simply log on and view these programs electronically."

MacAlpine says the electronic dissemination allows RentDirect to quickly update program benefits.

"We have listened to feedback from our members to develop this communication page, and their ideas and input have really paid off. The rental dealers who have accessed the system are discovering there are even greater financial benefits to being a RentDirect member than they realized. When you see all the rebates, discounts and programs in one place it becomes a testimony to the purchasing power of the RentDirect Nationwide buying group."

RentDirect Nationwide will have more information available on their new member communication page during the upcoming PrimeTime Buying Show at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas scheduled for March 2 - 5, 2008. Dealers may still register to attend the show by visiting www.nationwideprimetime.com or by calling James MacAlpine at 336-722-4681.
