Now, more than ever, consumers want to make the best purchasing decisions from companies they trust- those that will stand behind their products. While most people would agree that trust and integrity are the foundation of our economy, the news is full of surveys showing that consumers’ mistrust of business is on the rise, but we must not forget that great businesses still exist.
