I don’t know about the majority of you guys, but the VeriSign Security Seal(tm) means quite a bit to me when buying online. If I were looking for something on Pricegrabber, I would most likely buy from someone who is verified with VeriSign for two reasons:

1. I know I’m using a secure site.
2. I’m buying from a company that is willing to invest in the security of its clients.

That being said, if you’re running an eCommerce platform and selling goods or products online, then VeriSign(tm) is something to look forward to. VeriSign offers not only secure transactions for your clients, but also:

• Full business authentication
• $250,000 warranty
• VeriSign Secured® Seal
• Express delivery
• Installation Checker

I will say that just the VeriSign Secured® Seal is enough to buy one of their SSL packages because of the great service VeriSign has provided. In case you didn’t know, VeriSign provides their security services to 465 of the Fortune 500 companies as well as to 40 banks in the United States.

If you’re a small time eCommerce business owner, then VeriSign is probably not in your budget as the cost of having a 168px x 47px seal starts at $399 per year. However, if you’ve been doing business for a number of years, and you’ve reached a plateau where you’re receiving the same number of sales every month, then this could be that catalyst that will get you over the top and open up a whole new level of opportunity.

On a side note: Many anti-virus, firewall, and web security software companies as well as checkout platforms are also using VeriSign’s technology to show visitors that you’re website is secure and safe.
