Celebrities, Sales, Ethics and Third Parties

I came across a rather disturbing note today from "Lady Grey" jewelry to Ivanka Trump. I found it in incredibly poor taste but decided it is a jumping board for me to address our own ethics, philanthropy, and information sharing when it comes to our customers.

First, I will say that we have had "celebrity" customers shop with us in the past. I do not believe in name dropping to promote our business. Celebs are just regular people and just like everyone else. We respect everyone's privacy. Of course, we would welcome their feedback or endorsement, but we would not actively pursue them to do so. We definitely would not post a personal note to any of our customers on social media. That is a very unethical form of advertising.

Second, we will not share your feedback, notes of thanks (to or from us), or endorsements on any of our business pages without your absolute consent.

We do not share your personal information. As a matter of fact, there isn't any place on our website to store that information. All orders are placed through a shopping cart with Paypal, which is a secure site, and they do not share your information either. If you do provide your contact info to us on the website, we rarely, if ever, send you marketing emails. It is used specifically to follow up with you on a question or comment and that is as far as it goes. We do not sell, nor share, any customer contact information with third parties.

As far as eBay sales go, we only have access to shipping information. All correspondence must be conducted through that site so that Ebay can monitor it. Ebay is a secure site to do business through and they do not share personal information with third parties. Feedback, good or bad, cannot be altered, by us, so what you see is actual customer testimonial.

As for donations, Glory Glory Gifts has a few things that your purchases support. It is our goal to promote prayer and unity between our brothers and sisters in Christ through social media and the products that we sell. It is also our goal to support our brothers and sisters, that are still living in the Holy Land, that have been affected by the downturn in tourism. They support themselves by creating the olive wood, crystal, and Armenian pottery products that we offer for sale. Your purchase from us puts food on their tables and a roof over their head.

That's it. You can shop with us with confidence. Keep smiling, have a grand day, and let's go shopping! http://www.gloryglorygifts.com.

Peace,
