DVD Loans

Posted by fppl on June 17, 2008

Hi Everyone. I need your thoughts on something, please. Right now we lend videos and DVDs for three days, with no renewals. A few folks have asked that we extend the loan period on these items to five days, and there may be more who feel the same way, but haven’t said anything.. I just don’t know.

The shorter loan period allows for faster turnover of the items, and puts them back on the shelf for new borrowers faster.  A longer loan period would allow you to keep items longer, but would mean you might have to wait longer to get something you want to watch.

Can I ask you to comment and let me know how you feel about this, please? Thanks!
