The news reports are filled with virus warnings, phishing scams, fake sites and identity theft. All this news has a direct impact on your marketing and sales efforts. It makes consumers leery of all websites and reluctant to enter private or financial data on a site they don’t know well.

According to different studies and research, small businesses (and large businesses) can struggle with creating shopping cart confidence among consumers. Trust Seals can be one way to improve the shopping experience and help consumers complete their purchase in your store.  Five things a small business owner can do to inspire trust and confidence include:

    1. Stand out from the competition in search results

In search results, make it easy for visitors to choose your link over your competitor’s. The seal-in-search* plug-in detects VeriSign Trust Seal and displays it next to your link in search results. The VeriSign Trust Seal shows the world that your site has been verified by VeriSign. Learn more: VeriSign Trust Seal FAQ.

    1. Make trust part of your professional identity

10 times as many consumers feel trust is more important than cost when doing business online (VeriSign Brand Tracking Research, 2009). Yet, it can be tough to prove your identity online when you are a small local business and not a household name. A small investment in a VeriSign Seal enhances the professionalism and sense of safety of your Web site, because only a VeriSign Seal is backed by the most trusted security brand on the Internet (VeriSign Brand Tracking Research, 2009).

    1. Show your site is safe and secure

Growing concerns about fake sites, viruses and identity theft have made consumers reluctant to click links on Web sites they don’t know. As a result, small businesses struggle to generate the confidence to buy, click, and sign-in online. The VeriSign Trust Seal shows site visitors that VeriSign has confirmed your identity and your site has passed the VeriSign malware scan, so they can safely proceed.

    1. Protect your reputation and your customers’ loyalty

Malware is a general term for malicious software that hackers install on your site to spread viruses, hijack your computer or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information. Malware is not visible or easily detected, but can wreak havoc on your reputation and may infect your customers’ computer just by browsing your Web site. VeriSign Trust Seal includes a daily malware scan to detect malware and alert you to respond quickly to the attack.

    1. Display the #1 trust mark on the Internet

On average, the VeriSign Seal is displayed 250 million times a day on more than 90,000 Web sites in 160 countries. In fact, 97 of the 100 largest SSL-using banks in the world, 87% of the largest ecommerce sites in North America and 93% of the Fortune 500 rely on VeriSign (including VeriSign, its subsidiaries and affiliates) to secure their Web sites. As the brand trusted by major banks and retailers, the VeriSign Seal helps build confidence for increased loyalty on all types of Web sites.
