Authorized Store is a retailer\/brand vetting service. We confirm the authenticity and legitimacy of a retailer\/store by verifying their dealer status with the brands\/manufacturers that they post and sell in their online stores.<\/p>\n\n
The Authorized Store Retailer Seal of Integrity can be used as an extension\/plugin or via direct seal code placement. Once installed, the seal and certificate verifies that the retailer\/store has been vetted and approved for all brands carried, as \u201cAuthorized\u201d by brands\/manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n
The Authorized Store seal displays retailer\/store status as \u201cActive\u201d, including name and date. When the seal is clicked, a certificate pops up displaying approval process, approval requirements and consumer assurances. A link to the Retailer\/Store Profile, located at Authorized Store provides consumers with a complete retailer\/store provided description and listed credentials.<\/p>\n\n
The Seal is for retailer\/store use in the United States or Canada, only.<\/p>\n\n
\nWhy should your store have an Authorized Store Seal of Integrity and why is it different?<\/h4>\n \n
\n
- Seal, Certificate and Profile identifies your e-store as Authorized for all brands.<\/li>\n
- Get more sales\/conversions through increased consumer confidence.<\/li>\n
- Measure success with Certificate and Profile impressions via retailer analytics.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
Most certification seals provide information related to the safe use and\/or credibility of a website. These include seals that let consumers know if a site is secure from viruses and malware, seals that signify that an online store checkout process is secured by HTTPS SSL and seals that track\/post consumer reviews\/ratings. Oddly enough, non of these seals inform consumers that they are, most importantly, buying authentic products from an authorized source.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cGray Market\u201d or \u201c Diverted\u201d products are sold through numerous distribution channels. These channels include e-commerce stores\/websites and\/or well recognized sites like Amazon. It\u2019s almost impossible for a consumer to identify a legitimate source. Not anymore! An Authorized Store seal and certificate ensures consumers that they are buying authentic products from a vetted, manufacturer authorized retailer\/store.<\/p>\n\n
