Lakemoor, IL – December 8, 2008 – If retail projections are any indication, it’s going to be a challenging gift-giving holiday season. American consumers just don’t have the cash or credit to fulfill their loved ones’ gift lists as they once had. A leader in the “of-the-month” gifting service, Clubs of America is affording cash-strapped Americans a convenient way around this economic roadblock with a pay-as-you-go gift. Recession-hit consumers who would like to make holiday wishes come true without going broke, can check out all the Gift of the Month Club offerings online at www.greatclubs.com

Last week, MSNBC reported, “In tough times, layaway makes a comeback.” A payment staple of the 1950s, layaway allows consumers to buy an item and then pay it off in installments over time. Once the item is paid for in full, the purchaser can take it home.

Clubs of America has long embraced this pay-as-you go idea and offers the upsides of layaway while eliminating the downside. “Our customers have enjoyed paying by the month as opposed to everything upfront since our inception 15 years ago,” explains Doug Doretti, President of Clubs of America. “The difference between our payment structure and layaway our customers get to enjoy their monthly club purchase at the point of first payment. Best of all, they can cancel at any time.”

Clubs of America currently runs eight monthly gift clubs with free shipping, with the Beer, Wine and Flower of the Month ones being the most popular. Each Beer of the Month Club shipment brings a full 12-pack featuring four different microbrewed beer varieties, each one chosen by the company’s distinguished Beer Club connoisseurs as the season’s best. The Wine of the Month Club brings an exciting array of award-winning, international fine wines. The Flower of the Month Club presents beautiful, fresh-cut arrangements featuring stunning exotics from around the world, with a new bouquet arriving each month. The company’s other clubs include a Cigar of the Month Club, Pizza of the Month Club, Coffee of the Month Club, Chocolate of the Month Club and a Monthly Fruit Club.

Cash-strapped Americans who would like to have their holiday gift while paying for it later too can learn more about Clubs of America’s Gift of the Month clubs online at www.greatclubs.com or by calling
