Ten Reasons To Be BBB Accredited

bbb
 


I was thinking the other day about the reasons for a business to get accredited by Better Business Bureau, and I thought it might be good to share my personal top ten reasons. These are the reasons I offer when I asked, "Why should I apply for accreditation by Better Business Bureau?"

1.            Accreditation says you care about doing business with integrity.

2.            Working with Better Business Bureau strengthens your brand.

3.            Your listing in our directory is more effective when it shows you are accredited.

4.            Better Business Bureau offers great Search Engine Optimization programs to accredited organizations.

5.            Our educational programming can help you build a stronger business.

6.            Not everybody can get accredited; it says you are special.

7.            Supporting the accreditation program makes the world a better, more trusting place.

8.            Accreditation can differentiate you from the competition.

9.            Your accreditation supports BBB's service to the community.

10.         The Better Business Bureau online referral service - Request A Quote - can help you attract new customers.


 

Getting accredited is good for you, good for consumers and good for the community. It is all about integrity and building a business community based on the idea of trusting one another and doing the best we can for each other.

If you want to learn more, check out bbb.org/dayton . There, you will find details about everything we do to support businesses, consumers and the community as a whole. You are also welcome to call the office at (937) 610-2280 and we would love to speak with you.

Torch Bearer Program Underway
BBB recently kicked off its new Torch Bearer Sponsorship program. This new program is a great way for participants to build brand awareness while supporting marketplace integrity. BBB Torch Bearer Sponsors are like-minded businesses and charities that see integrity as a key factor in creating a stronger, healthier business community. Their generous financial support assists BBB as it pursues distinctive, mission-based programs such as the Eclipse Integrity Awards. They desire to put a spotlight on the integrity on their businesses and others.
