"I was looking at some baby items on your site and saw that you have the Control Scan seal. That's great but I didn't see a business verification or security seal anywhere (please excuse me if I just missed them).

As a consumer, I also look for trust seals and third party verification from Trust-Guard or other companies like Hacker Safe and the Better Business Bureau.

People in the forums and others I talk to all look for trust seals when they shop. We need to know that shopping on your site is safe and that your business has actually been verified by a third party. Who knows, it may even help increase your sales.

Please let me know when you update your site.

Thanks,
Shannon Tuke"

We perceived this email as a legitimate customer concern. We have been exploring different options from Hacker safe to PayPal, (which we currently use) etc. After further research and the world according to Google, we have found that Shannon Tuke has dropped this same message on other businesses and forums. Could this person be an affiliate for Trust-Guard? We did inquire and would like to thank "Shannon" because we have further investigated our options and all the security seals that we have the right to use. Without further adieu, we present a few more graphics we have added to make you feel safer while shopping in our online store.

Thank you!

We can certainly understand the need to copy and paste! As an online store owner be sure to take note of these types of concerns.

Thank you again for shopping with Happy Panda.

We would also like to congratulate Christy on her successful launch party. Thank you for allowing our tagless clothing line to be a part of the fun.

It's that time again for businesses to start shopping for Christmas cards. What vendor doesn't enjoy receiving a card during the holiday season to post proudly for everyone to see. CardsDirect has some really great cards to choose from. We are in the market ourselves and received some samples from their online store. They have recycled Holiday Cards for those who are looking for something environmentally friendly. Some of the cards even feature the recycle logos in the designs. How trendy and creative is that? Click on the hyperlink to see a sample. They have die-cut cards and beautiful photo cards! That's a great idea to get all your employees together for a group photo or you could just use your company logo! There are so many choices and if you aren't a business looking for cards, no worries because they have a great selection of family friendly holiday cards too! Check out this great site for your seasonal card needs for corporate or family cards they have what you need.
