The holidays are upon us and after months and months of unexpected delays and closures, nothing feels absolutely certain. Shopping in 2020 taught a lot of us to expect the unexpected and to learn to live with gratitude for what we did have access to. It looks as though 2021 will continue, as many fear the supply chain for holiday goods will be disrupted and that your favorite shopping centers may struggle to fill positions, making it all the more challenging to get the turkey on the table and gifts under the tree this year. This holiday season, put the debt, despair and disaster behind you and begin the tradition of celebrating smarter; not harder. The Pawn Company, like many of our locally-owned and operated small businesses, is here to help this season with a spotlight on two of our main services; layaway and loans.
DID YOU KNOW there are EIGHT Fridays starting in November leading up to Christmas on Saturday, December 25th? That may seem like a lot, but if you’re traveling for Thanksgiving or plan to have the gifts wrapped by Christmas Eve, the last thing you want is to be spending December 24th scrambling for the last of the wish lists. Our INTEREST-FREE layaway program is a way to lock in the gifts you want out of our jewelry, gaming, electronic or music departments for a payment of just 20% down that you can make weekly until time for pickup. Don’t trust yourself to remember? We can make calls weekly to make sure you’re staying on top of the payments. Layaway is such a helpful tool to make sure you avoid dealing with financing and credit applications and the hassle of interest payments on top of your already high-priced items. As a high-end pawn establishment, our items are already affordably priced as well. Jewelry shoppers can avoid that mall mark-up, take advantage of affordable payments that can be made in installments, and keep that smaller package a surprise away from the prying eyes. Instead of blowing your entire check on a brand new 55” television for the kids and trying to figure out the easiest way to hide it, we can keep it snug and ready for pickup until the day before Christmas. Wanna go big on a budget? Lay it away!
Speaking of budgets, the colder months always come with hidden costs that can make the holiday season feel like one more expense after another. On top of the rising winter bills, it can also be hard to know when that yearly holiday bonus is going to hit the bank. If you need money fast and want to avoid losing your whole paycheck to a payday loan service and their OUTRAGEOUS interest fees, we recommend coming in for a COLLATERAL LOAN! Some people think pawn shops are purely where you go to sell your items. We would much rather LOAN you money as we hold your items in our secure and temperature-controlled pawn storage. Bring in an item or two that can use a Christmas vacation such as your firearms, jewelry or tools to help pad your paycheck. Your items never hit the floor for display or sale, we simply store it safely until your return. We have the lowest rates of any of our competitors.
Between loans and layaway, your visit to The Pawn Company at the holidays can be one of the best ways to ensure your trip for Thanksgiving doesn’t tank your wallet and that your Christmas is covered. Stop in soon to secure your gifts, get an evaluation on your items or even shop our new Christmas decoration supply new to the store this season. The holidays can be hard, do the smart thing and stretch your paycheck at The Pawn Company.
