Layaway Credited With Helping Retail Giant
(firmenpresse) - TALLAHASSEE, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 08/23/11 -- Despite various market fluctuations of the DJIA, S&P Equity Research upgraded Sears Holding Corporation from a "Sell" rating to a "Hold" rating. According to an online article by 24/7 Wall Street (), "Added drivers to the upgrade were layaway plans..." Layaway is fast becoming a viable alternative to credit. Its fiscally responsible attributes make it a reputable payment alternative for merchants to promote, given the current debt issue. As more and more businesses look for ways to increase sales, many of them are turning to eLayaway, Inc. (OTCBB: ELAY), the Internet's first and only patent pending layaway payment processor.
"This just goes to show the power of offering layaway," says Bruce Harmon, Chief Financial Officer of eLayaway. "The eLayaway platform makes it easy and affordable for businesses of any size to set up and manage their own layaway programs," Harmon added.
With the current American debt situation and looming tax uncertainties, many consumers are depending on a debt-free payment option that will not cause them to perpetuate more debt in the future. According to a recent study of Lifestyle Changes, conducted by comScore®, "76% of consumers have changed how they spend their money based on the recession and 43% of them say these changes are permanent." eLayaway offers a viable solution to the aforementioned consumer concerns while encouraging fiscal responsibility.
eLayaway® is an online payment system that enables consumers to pay for the products and services they desire using manageable periodic payments, thereby making purchases affordable and easy to budget. For merchants, eLayaway offers the opportunity to provide layaway to their customers as a means to expand market share while reducing the administrative requirements of traditional layaway.
