How Pawnbrokers Can Help Change the Image of the Pawn Industry
Hey, Pawn Family!
I had a thought while driving to work today.
A lot of people have said that they have made more money in the last two years than in the last ten. And as I think about your customers, your customers, and what they need, I think it's important to give back during these crazy times.
What do I mean by that?
Your community is going through something unprecedented right now. There's worry. Gas costs are increasing. Food prices are also on the rise. They may be earning a little more money. They could have received some money from the government. Tax money is flowing in, but a lot of it is drying up, and there are still a lot of people in need!
Times are tough. We all know that.
This is when pawnshops will be packed with people seeking financial assistance.
Here in California, gas prices are hitting $7 a gallon. And what used to cost $300 at Costco now costs $500. And so, how can you give back to your community? What can you do to help people who are really in need?
What can you do to give back?
This is going to be a big help for the pawn industry. This will also make us leaders in the market!
Can you put together a diaper drive for single moms who don't have the money to buy diapers for their baby or to be able to buy formula?
Can you give out gas cards?
By providing critical services and support to people and communities during these uncertain times, pawnbrokers can help change the image of the pawn industry for the better!
What can you do to support your community and not just think about your community supporting you? How can you give back to them while still doing great in business?
Think about that.
Chew it and come up with an idea of what people in your town or city need so that you'll help them through what's going on.
Be the light in the darkness. Be a place of positivity in a world filled with negativity at the moment with war and all the other stuff.
The pawn industry doesn't have to be just about making money. It can also be a force for good in the world, helping people and communities when they need it most!
Thank you for all you do!
