Are You Up to Date?

Posted Friday, June 05, 2009

Being that today is Friday, I feel like it is good taste to do a positive blog post and take you into that TGIF attitude.  One of the great things BBB does is advertising review on our BBB Accredited Businesses to make sure they are following our standards of advertising.  Their Web site can also be part of BBB Online which certifies that the advertising on the site meets our standards and they get a cool logo which they can proudly display to tell consumers they can trust their content.

Sometimes a business needs a reminder that we've upgraded and they need to as well.  Case in point, I was doing a little research during my lunch break trying to find new basketball shoes (yes, I play and I'm good).  I came across a great Web site and saw the following logo.

This logo is out of date as we have moved to a different design.  I got curious and looked the company up and found them to be a 10 year BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.  We see instances in our office quite frequently of fraudulant businesses using logos like this and they are a beacon for our staff to seek out.  Obviously even BBB Accredited Businesses can just forget to contact us to get new logos to show themselves off so we like to just give them a reminder if something like this comes up.  If your business has a logo like the one above and is accredited, just call or e-mail our office and we will be more than happy to get you current with the new BBB Online logo.
