Businesses Risk Losing Customers and Leads by Not Displaying a PrivacyTrusted Seal Online

Consumers are more concerned now than ever before on what happens to their personal information. Before consumers were made aware of the increase of fraudulent activity, Internet users had no problem filling in online forms and sharing their personal information. However, that has all changed and consumer feel uncomfortable filling in forms and sharing information due to the lack of trust.

This lack of trust is causing online and traditional brick and mortar businesses to lose potential customers and a great deal of revenue. When a consumer visits a site and are requested to fill in a form, they want to be assured their information is safeguarded and not shared with a third party. That is where the PrivacyTrusted™ Privacy Verified Seal comes in.

Privacy and what happens with their personal information is on the mind of virtually all consumers. Every day, it seems another data breach of one kind or another – credit cards, health information, social security numbers, addresses and phone numbers – is being reported in the news. Along with data breaches, consumers are very concerned about what happens to the data they provide websites, not wanting it to be sold to a third party.

While most business owners assume the trust issue is purely something large merchants or online sellers need to concern themselves with, it is something that affects all businesses.

In a recent study, consumers are considerably more likely to do business with businesses they trust. Additionally, it has been shown that when consumers see websites with online privacy verified and trust verified seals, it increases trust by validating that an independent 3rd party has verified how the business handles their private information.

Many businesses don't realize that even if they are not selling online, collecting personally identifiable information on their website can subject them to state and federal laws that their business must be in compliance. It creates the need for a privacy policy for their business and circumstances, as well as opt-out procedures.

PrivacyTrusted™ helps businesses of all size ensure they're always in compliance, and this helps build trust with consumers. By guiding a business through the simple process and providing attorney-reviewed privacy policies customized for their business, trust can be achieved.

Before a business can gain a privacy or trust seal they have to go through a number of important steps. They need to establish important privacy processes, verifying details about their business and ensuring these policies and procedures are integrated into their site. By completing these steps and not before, they will receive a privacy seal or through additional steps and security checks a trust seal.

A New Crowdfunding Campaign Is Opened to Support Start-Up Hammock Business and Mayan Community in Yucatan, Mexico

A new crowdfunding campaign is started on March 16, 2015 to encourage people to support The Original Hammock Store that will sell hammocks and hammock chairs. These high quality, hand-woven hammocks are produced by women from the poor Mayan community in Yucatan, Mexico, who are trying to supplement their family income.

The Original Hammock Store's mission is to open the national and international market to weavers of hammocks, as this handicraft is their only source of income. The purpose of the foundation is to make their life more colorful, as every sold hammock supports the dreams and future of their children.

The goal of this crowdfunding campaign is to gather $35K for opening a very small retail shop for selling hammock's and hammock chairs in Hilton Head SC, buying the needed inventory and building up online store that will help spread the word about this business.

These hand-woven hammocks are made at home, and not in factories, where working conditions are worse. The Mayan women in Yucatan, who produce them, have the opportunity to take care of their children, while working. In addition, weavers are able to take a day off for some family, medical or personal reasons, without asking for permission or reporting to anyone.

When the hammocks are finished and ready for sale, they contact the supplier that is a Certified B Company and a member of Fair Trade Federation. He will deliver these high end inexpensive hammocks to the new retail shop that is to be opened in Hilton Head SC. Every sold hammock will help these poor people provide for their families' daily needs.

The campaign has been launched to help raise $35 that is needed to set up a small retail shop.

Wood Flooring Can Add Value to a Property Says BSI Flooring LTD

BSI Flooring LTD, which is set to open their new wood flooring showroom in Epping, has said property owners looking to sell their property can add value by installing quality wood flooring.

A spokesman for BSI Flooring LTD said: "You do not have to wait to sell your house to add value to your home. By adding wood flooring or restoring wood flooring, it can bring your home a whole new feel."

Estate agents have said the days of just adding a lick of paint to a property to sell it faster is long gone. Since the property crash, houses have become much harder to sell. Although the property market has now picked up, leading estate agents have warned that some properties are still taking up to a year to sell. That is why many estate agents advise their clients to make their property stand out, and one popular recommendation is the installation of wood flooring.

People selling their property want a quick sale so they can move to their next dream home. However, by not listening to estate agents and their recommendations, property sellers could be waiting a long time to find a buyer. By improving their home and installing wood flooring, a home could be sold much quicker.

A survey by the National Wood Flooring Association asked estate agents what impact quality wood flooring would have on the sale of a property? According to 82 per cent a home with wood flooring would sell much quicker than a home without.

Wood flooring does not only add value to a property and make the property feel homely; it also makes it easier for the homeowner to clean. Another major advantage to wood flooring is the value it brings. Carpets have a much shorter shelf life, which means in the long run property owners are paying a great deal of money, where a quality wood flooring offers value for money.

BSI Flooring Ltd, which is an Epping based wood flooring company that offers wood floor installation, restoration, sanding and repair services at great prices, are available to offer free advice. At the present moment, the company offers a special promotion for wood floor sanding and three coats of varnish that includes installation or restoration for only 18 pounds per square meter including VAT.

Hales Global Learns Defense Buying Priorities First-Hand from Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics

With so many conflicts around the world, the needs of the US Government Department of Defense continue to grow.

The Department of Defense needs continues to grow says Hales Global, offering numerous opportunities for contractors to provide solutions and services. What contracts are the biggest? How can people position themselves to win more DOD contracts?

Thursday Secretary Kendall had a sit-down session with some of the Washington premier movers and shakers, which included Larry Hales, the founder and CEO of Hales Global Group (www.halesglobal.com). Kendall announced that Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told Congress that the effort to train and equip rebels "is just getting off" the ground. Building a reliable ground force of "moderate" rebels in Syria is a key part of the Obama administration's strategy to counter the Islamic State in the region.

The moderate rebels the U.S. want to recruit have been pushed further to the sidelines in a war that has killed more than 200,000 people. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a clear threat to the USA, National Interests, the people of Iraq and Syria. Ultimately, if unchecked, a growing threat to the region and U.S. homeland, according to Hales Global.

The U.S. goal is to build a strong local force so American ground troops won't be needed. The Department of Defense needs to train and equip the forces to conduct counter-offensive operations. The DoD contingency operation budget for FY 2015 is more than $16 billion dollars. These funds will be used to train and purchase items such as weapons, trucks, trailers, tools, body amour, medical equipment, gloves, radios, uniforms, boots, and other items. More than 100,000 troops will need to be kitted out. In addition to buying material goods, the DOD is looking to expand its Cyber Security program and awarding contracts for threat analysis surveying.

Frank Kendall is responsible for all matters pertaining to the acquisition; research and engineering; developmental testing; contract administration; logistics and material readiness. He is also responsible for installations and environment; operational energy; chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons; the acquisition workforce; and the defense industrial base.

Hales Global Group is the single, most comprehensive business development firm for companies looking to land new department of defense contracts.

Ryanair Confuse Passengers over Cheap America Flights Said Ukairportcarparks.co.uk

Cheap flights airline Ryanair made a big announcement over their cheap flights to America for ten pounds. However, it seems Ryanair have got themselves a little confused and a couple of days later have now announced the cheap flights will no longer go ahead. Ukairportcarparks.co.uk, who provides cheap airport parking said Ryanair are confusing their customers.

Ryanair, who is better known for complaints than the destinations they fly to, seems to have got a head of themselves with the announcement. While Ukairportcarparks.co.uk said the flights would not be ten pounds and would be more expensive after tax and fees, it looks like the Ryanair accounts team have found their calculator and agree with the cheap airport parking experts.

The cheap flights airline has quickly changed their mind and said in a statement "It has not considered or approved any transatlantic project and does not intend to do so".

A spokesman for Ukairportcarparks.co.uk said: "It seems someone at Ryanair has made a huge error with the calculations. I am not sure but maybe when they were working out the fare the calculator may have gone on overdrive."

Since the announcement was made the cheap flights would not go ahead, people have turned to Twitter to ask if the original announcement was a marketing ploy. Questions were asked if the announcement was to cover up some bad press they were expecting?

One Ryanair customer said: "I feel very let down by the news they are longer going to offer ten pound flights to America."

Another passenger said: "It would be interesting to find out what bad news they were hiding to bring out the amazing claims they could take people to America for less than a family meal at McDonalds."

One Person on Twitter suggested starting a crowdfunding campaign for Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary, to send him on holiday. The Twitter user suggested the stress of running the cheap flights airline must be getting Michael and maybe he needed a holiday in America with British Airways.

So it seems, British Airways can relax, Ryanair is no longer a threat to their America route. For people wishing to go to America for Ten pounds, it seems the only way to do that is to get a little rowing boat and spend 12 months rowing all the way to New York.

A spokesman for Ukairportcarparks.co.uk who compare all airport car parking prices to bring customers the best deals said: "It seems very unfair for Ryanair to get people's hopes up and then shatter their dreams a few days later."
