eLayaway and Venue Announce New Partnership

Powered by eLayaway, Venue Select offers Venue customers a credit-free alternative to pay for their items over time

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - June 3, 2009 - Venue`s current credit-based payment options. For many online merchants, eLayaway offers an opportunity to affordably provide layaway to their customers as a means to expand market share while reducing the administrative requirements of traditional layaway. Most merchants that offer eLayaway simply promote the service as just another payment option on their website. Venue wanted to be a part of that experience and created Venue Select, powered by eLayaway.

"Layaway is more than just a payment option. It`s a commitment by both the consumer and the merchant to work together and fulfill needs," said Sergio Pinon, CEO of eLayaway. "Venue understands that and we hope to empower them with the tools they need to go beyond just selling goods by providing relevant, value-added services that meet their consumer`s needs."

This will be the first time that eLayaway has partnered with a merchant to support a privately-labeled layaway option.

"eLayaway complements the other credit programs Venue offers its customers in order to provide complete flexibility in fashioning the payment program most appropriate to them," said Ron Drori, Venue Chief Executive Officer. "We believe eLayaway will become an important component in our desire to `Make Luxury Affordable.`"

eLayaway is an online layaway payment solution that lets shoppers pay over time for their purchases on a schedule that fits their lifestyle and budget. Charged a small, flat 1.9% transaction fee, the consumer receives their merchandise once all payments are made in full. For more information visit www.eLayaway.com.
