Economic uncertainty hasn’t stopped lease-to-own shoppers, it’s just made them more intentional. ✔️ 55% said tariffs affected how they approached major purchases ✔️ Nearly 30% still made or are actively considering a large purchase ✔️ 36% spent $250+ more than planned thanks to lease-to-own flexibility Explore what it means for your business in our latest consumer report.

✨ Yesterday, the Koalafi Women’s Network enjoyed a fun speed networking event, complete with custom mocktails and great conversation! 🥂☀️ We designed this event to help strengthen cross-team connections across the company. It was a joy to see colleagues connecting, laughing, and enjoying a space created to uplift and support women at Koalafi.

Team Koalafi joined hundreds of RVA runners at the Markel Corporate Run, and we brought the energy and team spirit! It was a fun evening to get outside, move together, and connect beyond the workday. #Koalafam #CorporateRunRVA #TeamKoalafi
