Most reports for the 2010 holiday shopping season indicate it was an improvement over recent years, and last week’s big news about social media giant, Facebook’s, $50 billion valuation may seem to point to a connection between social networking and shopping. However, a survey by ForSee Results found that not as many consumers as expected used their “friends” or a company’s “tweets” to make a purchase decision.

Of course, even factory-direct TV lift cabinet manufacturer, ImportAdvantage, has its own Facebook page, but with how widespread social and corporate networking has been throughout 2010, it would seem that consumers would be hard-pressed to avoid its influence. The survey by ForSee Results received 10,000 responses from various consumers between November 29 and December 15, 2010. The survey showed that only 5% of online holiday shoppers were primarily influenced to visit top retailer sites by social media channels (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.). However, 19% of consumers were prompted

Last month, Panasonic announced that its line of 2010 VIERA CAST televisions is now capable of streaming Netflix movies without the need for an external streaming device. This new capability complements the VIERA CAST’s current ability to connect users to Skype, Twitter, Pandora, Picasa and local weather and news.

Netflix currently has about 15 million members and is the largest subscription service for streaming movies and TV episodes over the Internet. Previously, Netflix members could only stream movies and TV episodes via a computer, capable gaming console (i.e. XBOX 360) or a streaming device (Roku player). Now, with the VIERA CAST, movies can be viewed from the comfort of a home TV and more room will be available in one’s entertainment center or TV lift cabinet.

Ever wonder what that “BBB Accredited Business” emblem really means when a company displays it on its website? It means that a business has met their state’s accreditation standards issued by the Better Business Bureau.

ImportAdvantage has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2008 and currently receives an “A” rating (from an A+ to F scale), which is based on a review of 17 different elements, such as competency, time in business and how clearly the company understands its business.

ImportAdvantage takes its BBB rating very seriously, and it shows since customers constantly give us positive feedback on the purchases they make.

We hope you appreciate our accreditation as much as we do and that you know ImportAdvantage values our customer’s trust. We’d like to know, though, how else can we improve our customer service and better fulfill your shopping experience?
