2009 Payday Loans, Car Title Loans & Pawn Shop Resolution

Posted by / Uncategorized

Like most prognosticators, we expect 2009 to be a very tough year for jobs. Unemployment will certainly increase; 10% or higher wouldn’t surprise us.

But, like they say, where disaster lurks opportunity reveals itself IF you’re a “glass half full” kinda fellow.

So, in the payday loan, car title loan, rapid tax refunds, and pawn shop industries expect 2009 to experience increased demand for our products followed by a focus on collection activities.

After all, it doesn’t help much if your customers clamor for your products but are unable to pay you back in a timely manner.

Remember, it’s “all about the job”. Construction, retail and service jobs are at risk in most geographic locations. Are you up to date on what’s going on in your community? Do you know which companies are laying off and which ones are growing?

As I write this I’m in Clarksville, TN. I’ve been visiting with family and meeting with clients in car title lending and payday loans. I picked up a local newspaper and on the front page is an article about a $1.2 billion dollar polycarbonate factory coming to town. 1000 construction jobs until the factory is scheduled for completion in 2012. Then 500 manufacturing jobs will result with an estimated 8 more related jobs for every 1 factory job created by this project.

And yet, many of the small business men I’ve spoken to here are unaware of this development. You can bet the manager of the TitleMax store knows about it. In fact I went over and met with him. It wasn’t long before we began to discuss it’s implications on his business.

The point? Resolve in 2009 to always know what’s going on in your community. Join at least on of the local business organizations. Read your local paper every day. Join a charitable group.

Get involved! You’ll be glad you did. Not only will you profit but more importantly you’ll feel better!!

Even the Rich Using Pawnshops! Are Payday Loans Next?

Posted by / pawn

The Royal Pawn & Jewelry location in Royal Palm Beach, Florida is experiencing record transactions in high-end jewelry, fine art and automobiles.

Thanks to our current economy and the arrest of ponzi-king Bernard Madoff, or should we say “made-off as in made-off with all our money”, even the very rich are heading to their local pawnshop to make it through the week.

Levi Touger, co-owner of Royal Pawn & Jewelry, said big ticket items, including more than one ferrari and several yachts, are finding their way to his pawn shop. Having lost millions with Madoff, these “Royal Palm Beachers” need to get their hands on cash quick!

I sure hope the Palm Beach payday loan stores are stocking up on cash as well. I wouldn’t want the poodles in the area to want for their weekly shampoo.

Oh, if you’re planning to head over to Levi’s place for a deal on a 10 carat diamond ring, better wait. Florida state law requires pawn shops to provide 60 days for owners of pawned items to redeem them.

Pawnshop Launches Internet Business

Posted by / pawn

You’ve got to admit that we in the “sub-prime” financial services industry are a creative lot!

http://www.pawntique.com/ has come up with what we think is a great idea; an Internet based pawn lending business.

They make loans on jewelry, watches, gem stones, gold and memorabilia at a rate of 4% to 6% per month. The rate for loans from $1800 to $180,000 is 6% paid monthly. Loans of $1799 and less are 4% per month.

They appear to be the first true Internet pawn lender. Here’s how it works:
1) You go to their web site and select a category; watches for example
2) You estimate it’s market value, enter a description, post a picture if you wish…
3) You get an immediate estimate of the amount they will loan you
4) You then provide them with your contact info and ID.
5) They pay for a courier service to pickup your item
6) They inspect it and if both parties agree on the value they ACH the funds into your bank account. Typically they loan 40% of this value.
7) You pay 4% to 6% monthly interest.
8) At the end of 6 months you pay off the loan with interest and a “redemption fee” and they ship your item back by courier.
9) If you fail to repay the loan they sell the item

It’s discrete, convenient, there are no questions, no credit checks, and fast.

We like this business model!

Oh, and one more thing. It’s only available in England currently.

Which of us will be the first to launch a Internet based online pawnshop?
