The past year-and-a-half has been something of a roller coaster, to say the least. The good news is we’re seeing an increase in demand for home improvement financing. In Q2, we saw a 30% increase in demand over Q1, and we’re seeing that same spike as we head into fall and winter. The challenge is we’re also seeing supply chain issues—we saw a 10% delay in job completions.

Get ahead of increased demand and decreased supply by informing your customers of these likely issues. Don’t let demand and supply issues negatively affect your business. Your customers want their home improvement projects completed as quickly as possible (and so do you), so use this as a tool to drive urgency.
