More Brides Register for Money Gifts in Tough Economy
Money gift registries up more than 100% at Rainfall
of Envelopes
June 9, 2009, Arlington, Va. - In these difficult economic times, it’s
more important than ever to spend your money wisely. That's why thousands of people
have used Rainfall of Envelopes to give money for weddings, baby showers, graduations,
anniversaries and more. Over the last six months, Rainfall of Envelopes has seen
registries and gifts double and is on track for a record year.
According to the company, turmoil in the housing market has been responsible for
a large portion of its growth. Falling home prices, combined with tougher lending
standards, have motivated brides to register with Rainfall of Envelopes for a down
payment on a new house, making that now an even more popular use of gifts than paying
for a honeymoon.
"In the past, people felt compelled to only use traditional store registries, requesting
gifts they did not really need and at full retail prices," explained John Underwood,
Co-Founder of Rainfall of Envelopes. "We enable people to instead register for money
gifts, which can be used at any retailer to buy any item at the lowest price, or
towards more significant gifts such as a new car, college fund or honeymoon."
The company has discovered that many of its customers are registering with both
Rainfall of Envelopes and a traditional store registry. This way, they register
for the few store-bought items they really want and then use Rainfall of Envelopes
for all other gifts.
Part of the appeal of Rainfall of Envelopes is its completely secure handling of
gifts, which are paid directly and immediately to its customers. Gifts at Rainfall
of Envelopes can be paid for with any major credit or debit card, bank account transfer,
or PayPal transfer.
