Oceanside, California June, 2008 – Doing Personal Favors, an online retailer of professional quality, special event and party favors, is making consumers aware of the growing number of fraudulent favor and gift companies on the internet. Linda Holstein, co-owner of the online store, has assisted many customers who have fallen victim to purchasing products printed with low-resolution copies of designs lifted from other websites.
Arleen MacFarland, one of Holstein’s repeat customers, said “I had ordered water bottle labels from your company several times in the past and loved them. This time I needed shower favor tags...Not realizing that you also do tags, I ordered from another company. When those tags arrived, they were so bad that I just threw them away.” Frustrated, MacFarland ordered and paid for the tags from a second online auction store. After 3 weeks of waiting, she has still not received any communication, and the purchased items never arrived.
“With the shower only two weeks away, I searched again and this time found that DoingPersonalFavors.com also does tags” says MacFarland, “Im now placing my order with a company with quality work, great communication and exceptional personal service. The pride you have in your company certainly shows in the quality of your work.” Holstein has had enough experience with this type of situation, so she is well prepared to find the solution that is best for her customers.
“Event planners contact me after they have fallen victim to false advertising,” says Holstein, “their special event is only days away and the products they have purchased are not fit to use, or in many cases, just like Arleen experienced, the order never arrives. They come to me desperate and frustrated.” Often the only solution is designing, producing and shipping an order in a very limited timeframe. With an increased number of online stores appearing on the internet, the problems of plagiarism and copyright theft are becoming more difficult to prevent.
It is difficult and time-consuming for business owners to find fraudulent companies, which means it can be more difficult for consumers to find a trustworthy retailer. With her extensive experience in creating specialized favors and selling online, Holstein understands the importance of standing behind your products, and her repeat customers and referrals are proof of her professionalism and high-quality items.
