GMS’ 2017 Year In Review

December 18, 2017 By James Wales Leave a Comment

Trust Guard’s parent company, Global Marketing Strategies, has been busier than usual securing websites, making online consumers safer than ever, and helping e-commerce business owners make a lot more money than they would without us – guaranteed. Here are three of the accomplishments we achieved in 2017:

Inc. 500

For the second time in as many years, Shopper Approved, our rating and review software, was named by Inc. 500 as one of the fastest growing American-based companies. That is quite an honor for just one year. But to do it in two consecutive years shows how many business owners around the world have benefited from more positive ratings and reviews than any other brand.

Free from Record-Breaking Hacks

While 2017 experienced the worst and most data breaches so far according to identityforce.com, Trust Guard’s daily security scanned customers, however, have remained free from such breaches. According to the article, here are just a few of the popular companies that have been hacked: ESEA, XBox, PSP, IHG, Arby’s, River City Media, Verifone, Dun & Bradstreet, Sax Fifth Avenue, FAFSA, and Chipotle. The total number of hacked sites surpassed 10 million. If you want to do everything possible to protect yourself from hackers, upgrade to daily PCI compliant scanning. If you haven’t already, you can do so through your Trust Guard member control panel.

Trust Guard 2017 Year in Review

100,000 New Clients in 2017

We have helped over 100,000 entrepreneurs start their online businesses. Besides other strategies and tools, we have provided them with privacy policies. We’ve now reached more than 700,000 total happy customers who have used our wizard to create their privacy policies. On average, this process takes less than 15 minutes. If your website doesn’t have a privacy policy, get one for free at freeeprivacypolicy.com.

New Live Chat Mobile App

We’ve also created a new Android app to accompany our live chat and help desk software called Rhino Support. Now, business owners can answer live chats at home, the beach, the store or anywhere else they happen to be. We’ve got the best customer service platform at the best price – starting at only $15 a month! Look for our iOS app in spring of 2018.

There are a lot of other things we’ve achieved, like helping an orphanage in Guatemala build a housing unit. This allowed siblings to live closer together. It’s been a good year for us and we want to sincerely thank our employees, partners and customers who have made it all possible. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to an even better year next year!

When shoppers feel confident, they are more likely to buy from you.
