Leadpile’s Blog

The Thanksgiving rush is now over, and retailers seem to be pretty pleased with the Black Friday results. However, now Cyber Monday is here and the kickoff to online shopping has begun. Internetnews.com is reporting sites such as Amazon.com and Walmart.com to be the potential big winners. Time will tell who is going to be the big winner this holiday season. Web sales only represent a small portion of the holiday sales, however year after year more and more people are turning to the internet for their shopping.
Leadpile is hoping to capitalize on some of this increased web traffic with some additional lead generation. Payday loansare in high demand, and we are hoping some will see these short term loans as an additional way to potentially purchase their much needed Christmas gifts.

Due to ongoing payday lending regulations, many states are closing up their store front properties. Ohio has implemented recent payday lending regulations and more than a third of the stores have closed up. Cincinnati.com points out, “Payday lenders operated roughly 1,600 retail locations across Ohio before voters approved new restrictions. Now, payday lenders run just 960 storefronts.” Unfortunately, this sort of scenario is happening with a lot of the other states across the country. Will these companies with a brick and mortar presence simply resort to just the online lending route? For some, the convenience of walking in a cash advance store is easier because maybe the inability to get access to a computer.
This also opens up even more questions about what will payday lenders look to do in the future with continuous payday regulations coming up in the various states? “Installment loans” seems to be what payday lenders are going to be able to provide to consumers to help them with their need for additional money. These short term, non securitized loans will allow consumers with the much needed cash, but with a slightly longer period of time to pay back the loan. Hopefully this new venture will then allow our payday lenders to keep some of their brick and mortar stores open, to still be able to provide the much needed loans, even in payday “excluded” states? We hope so!
This leads to potentially some great opportunity with the online lead generators such as Leadpile Lead Exchange. The bottom line is people need quick fast cash, and sometimes it is more convenient to go in a payday loan store, but then for some it is easier to apply online for a loan. Payday loan lead generation is a very popular vertical for affiliate marketers and other online marketing individuals to get into. However, following the proper procedure and making sure the user experience is truly safe and positive is the key.
