NFL Minnesota Vikings Kick off Season Ticket Renewal Sales Early with eLayawaySPORTS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - As the 2010 NFL season comes to a close, the Minnesota Vikings are
kicking off their season ticket renewal program with eLayaway,
Inc. (OTCBB:ELAY.OB),
the Internet's largest patent-pending layaway payment processor. This is
the third year in a row that the Vikings will be offering the eLayaway
option to their existing season ticket holders. This year's early start
is designed to keep the payments as low as possible by giving fans more
time to make their payments.
The Minnesota Vikings will begin reaching out to their existing season
ticket holders this week, with the deadline for all eLayaway payments
set for the middle of July. This will allow current season ticket
holders up to 26 weeks to make payments, giving them the opportunity to
have eLayaway payments as low as $11.37 per week. Over the past two
years, many of the team's fans have come to appreciate the convenience,
flexibility and affordability of using eLayaway to pay for their
Minnesota Vikings season tickets.
"We are very excited to continue working with the Minnesota Vikings
for the third consecutive season," commented Larry Witherspoon,
CIO of eLayaway. "The eLayawaySPORTS brand has enjoyed great success
since its launch and much of that success can be attributed to the
dedication and loyalty of both the Minnesota Vikings and their fans. We
take great pride in providing their sports fans an affordable option to
never miss a game," continued Witherspoon.
How eLayawaySPORTS Works for Season Ticket holders
eLayawaySPORTS
is an online payment system that allows existing season ticket holders
to pay for their team's season tickets using manageable periodic
payments, thereby making purchases affordable and easier to budget.
Payments are automatically drafted from the season ticket holders
designated bank account via Automated Clearing House ("ACH" ) on the
modifiable schedule they set at the time of purchase. A flat 1.9%
transaction fee is charged to the season ticket holder and all payments
are held in an account in trust at HSBC Bank and transferred to the
designated sports team once full payment has been made. Like traditional
layaway programs of the past, delivery of the product or service occurs
once payment is complete. Payment processing and supporting services are
handled by eLayaway while the team provides order fulfillment.
How eLayawaySPORTS Works for The Minnesota Vikings
For many online merchants, eLayaway offers an opportunity to provide
layaway to their customers as a means to expand market share while
reducing the administrative requirements of traditional layaway.
eLayawaySPORTS allows NFL teams, like the Minnesota Vikings, to take
advantage of opportunities that increase sales and profits. For the
majority of consumers, the option to pay with credit is either too
expensive or unavailable. More and more consumers are looking for
alternatives such as eLayaway to assist them better afford the things
they need and/or want. eLayawaySPORTS serves an alternative payment
method for season tickets holders, allowing them to make the purchases
they desire while enabling the Minnesota Vikings to sell additional
tickets on an immediate basis.
In addition to eLayaway.com and eLayawaySPORTS.com,
the Company also owns and operates eLayawayTRAVEL.com
and eLayawayHEALTH.com.
eLayaway, Inc. was founded in 2005.
