8 Holiday Shopping Tips To Get The Best Deals

2) Beware of Offers Too Good to Be True

Don’t be swayed by advertisements that seem too good to be true; chances are, they really are. Transact only with retailers that have gained your trust. If the shopping site seems fishy, look for privacy and security seals. These prove that their rules and processes for security and privacy are verified.  One great certification a site can have is TRUSTe Verified, as they are a leader in privacy compliance and brand trust.  BBB Online (Better Business Bureau) and Webtrust are two other reputable ways to know you can trust a website.  If you see one of these seals, but you remain suspicious, go to the verification website and make sure the retailer is actually listed there and their certification is current.
