Network of e-commerce home improvement sites integrates buySAFE trust solution and bond guarantee
ARLINGTON, VA (August 21, 2007) – buySAFE, Inc. (www.buysafe.com), the leading trust and safety company for e-commerce transactions, today announced that eImprovement (www.eimprovement.com) has integrated the buySAFE trust solution into its network of e-commerce home improvement sites. All pages of eImprovement’s eFaucets.com and LightingCatalog.com now display the buySAFE Seal, one of the strongest trust signals in e-commerce. Additionally, visitors to these sites can guarantee qualified purchases with a buySAFE bond for up to $25,000 per transaction. Later this year, eImprovement.com will integrate the buySAFE trust solution into two additional sites, HomeFixtures.com and DoorFixtures.com.
The buySAFE Seal identifies reputable, trustworthy merchants for online shoppers, and allows them to guarantee their transactions with a bond backed by leading surety providers Liberty Mutual, Travelers and ACE USA. To qualify for the buySAFE Seal, online merchants must pass the buySAFE certification process, which ensures that they are financially sound, reliable, trustworthy and committed to delivering on their terms of sale. Shoppers who purchase from a buySAFE Merchant enjoy complete peace of mind -- even on a website with which they are not familiar – resulting in higher sales, larger purchases and more repeat customers for online merchants.
"We're very pleased to partner with one of the premier brands in the online home improvement space," said Jeff Grass, CEO, buySAFE. "With the buySAFE Seal and bond guarantee on eImprovement's network of sites, shoppers can rest assured they are backed by one of the best businesses on the web."
"We pride ourselves on providing our shoppers with a safe, easy shopping experience every time they visit any of the eImprovement websites," said Michael J. Fox, COO of eImprovement.com. "buySAFE enables us to further this important goal by giving our shoppers the ultimate peace of mind – the assurance that our business has been thoroughly inspected, is continually monitored and fully guaranteed to perform as promised."
