OAKLAND, Calif.—The holiday season is here, for many that means going into debt to satisfy their wants and needs. At Feelmore510, an adult boutique in Oakland, Calif., customers can avoid that fate: Effective Dec. 1, Feelmore is offering a Holiday Layaway program.
Feelmore510 owner Nenna Joiner spent Black Friday and Cyber Monday listening to clients.
“People come in and look at products and at times will share that they are coming back after their payday,” Nenna said.
To help people this holiday season, Feelmore will offer layaway service for in-store products priced $100 and more.
“I feel this will bring smiles and flexibility in spending for our clients while giving Feelmore cash flow flexibility,” Nenna said.
Feelmore was founded on the notion of providing access to individuals and communities that are typically economically excluded. The Holiday Layaway program provides a smart, low effort option for consumers to experience luxury goods.
“With our neighboring communities paying more money in rent than ever before, this option gives Feelmore an opportunity to be a part of people’s wallets and not their headaches,” says Nenna. “And as the banking industry has been slow to convert credit cards to 100 percent chip, this also helps us to avoid fraud chargebacks by accepting only cash for this payment option.”
Feelmore expects to pilot the payment option throughout the rest of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017.
“If the numbers look right, we will continue to offer the option,” Nenna said.
