New Consumer Protection Service Company Combines Best of All Worlds

consumer protection

WESTON, Fla., April 13, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Biggrey Trust takes the best of what other consumer protection services have to offer and combines them all into one winning solution.

"Imagine this. Mix together Angie's List and Yelp and add a side of Norton and Google Trusted Store. What do you get? Biggrey Trust - a consumer protection service that benefits consumers and retailers alike," Torben Albrekt, President and CEO, Biggrey Trust says.

Biggrey Trust has two missions: to provide consumer protection and to help stores increase sales. When you have one, the other will follow.

So, why the name Biggrey? Elephants are big, grey and loyal - much like Biggrey. Biggrey will quickly react if stores mislead consumers. This is the first step in helping retailers to build trust towards their customers.

Mads Petersen is executive vice president for CIM USA Inc., a U.S.-based company that is specialized in providing sophisticated traceability and accountability solutions to the financial and industrial sectors. He is also an investor in Biggrey Trust, because he believes that when a retailer chooses to be Biggrey Certified, they are choosing to be the safest place to shop.

"No one can say that they are more trustworthy and provide more peace of mind to the consumer than a store that is Biggrey Trust Certified," Petersen says.

Being trustworthy is key to increasing sales. In fact, 62 percent of all consumers look for trusted stores before making a purchase decision. It's all about making an emotional connection and Biggrey helps stores do just that.

The process of getting Biggrey Certified is simple. It's all done online, it takes just five minutes to apply and, after approval, it takes 20 minutes to integrate.

And, best of all, since the certification process is completely automated, it costs less than other consumer protection services. As a result, Biggrey is able to pass along those savings to the retailer and can help them market their business locally, and globally too.

Each Biggrey Certified business gets a presentation page on the Biggrey website that includes essential business information and makes it easier for consumers and search engines to find them. In fact, Biggrey is so confident retailers will see a clear uptick in sales within the first six months of being certified that they guarantee results.
