About us

Pawnbroking is one of the most highly-regulated industries in the world. From your local city council to the US Congress, legislators at every level of government are regularly asked to vote on laws and regulations that impact pawnbroking.

If they aren’t familiar with the pawn business, they do exactly what any of us do when we’re researching an unfamiliar topic–they google it.

The news stories and articles that they find during this online search can greatly influence their opinion before their vote. The online content that our industry shares are critical to shaping that opinion. 

Public relations matters to pawnbrokers because public perception matters to lawmakers. The stakes are too high to ignore the job of promoting and protecting the industry. 

Public relations is the foundation of grassroots legislative work. Yet, there is currently no one who is focused on the job of promoting and protecting the pawn industry through proactive media relations. 

Until now. 

The Pawnbroker Network is a media blog that will serve as a platform for stories and articles in reputable press publications. It is a place where legislators, business leaders, and other stakeholders can find the full and accurate story of how pawnshops across the country serve millions of customers every year with non-recourse small-dollar loans. 

It is also a content hub—an online community where members of the pawn industry can swap original content that adds value to their own online channels and positively impacts the perception of pawn. This quality content, labeled and categorized as share-worthy is ready to post right onto the pawnbroker’s own store blog or social media channels. All content is shared with credit to the author, attribution, and backlinks according to SEO’s best practices. 

Pawnbroking is frequently misunderstood. We can change that.
