Kmart Makes Mother's Day Gift Buying Easy and Affordable
While springtime is yet to be in the air, it's never too early to plan ahead for a baby's spring arrival and Mother's Day. From outfitting the nursery to outfitting the new baby, Kmart layaway is a smart option. Kmart layaway enables soon-to-be parents to reserve the must-have baby products, pay in installments and pick up the items in time for the arrival of the baby and to celebrate Mother's Day.
"Expectant parents have a lot on their minds preparing for their new additions. Kmart's layaway helps soon-to-be parents keep their budget in check as they plan to purchase the new baby's big-ticket items," said Mark Snyder, chief marketing officer, Kmart. "Our hope is that Kmart's layaway helps families to focus on their loved ones this Mother's Day, not the debt."
