Layaway Makes a Comeback
We have been reading in the news recently that layaway is back at lots of retailers just in time for the Christmas shopping season, and it looks like lots of people are welcoming it.
Layaway was created back in the 1930’s during the Great Depression, so a resurgence of putting items on layaway is a sign of the tough economic times. A layaway lets a customer put a purchase aside without having to pay for it in full upfront. For most stores you must put a percentage down on the item and then pay it off within a certain amount of time between 30 and 90 days usually. If you’re out shopping for holiday gifts or that certain something you just can’t live without, many shoppers say this is the way to go.
In light of these difficult economic times, CleverEve is now offering a layaway plan in order to make it easier for our customers to purchase that special piece of jewelry. Please click here to learn more about CleverEve’s Layaway Plan.

I don’t know if I like the idea of Layways I would rather have the cash for something that I want, but I do suppose they come in handy when there is a limited amount of the product and you want one.
