Protect Yourself from Online Shopping Scams this Holiday Season

11/26/2019

Comments

 
Online Shopping Scams
Shoppers gather their liquid caffeine, a snack or two and those warm fuzzy slippers to prep for what is about to come. Grabbing all their goodies, they hunker down in front of the glowing screen, ready and waiting to pull the trigger on the absolute best finds of 2019. 
 
However, as Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals start swirling around the interwebs, so do the scammers, and there are a few things you should know. 

According to experts, fake websites, fake products, fake apps and fake e-mails are ready and waiting for shoppers this holiday season. 
 
One reason scams are so abundant is because these scammers are really good at churning out fake websites with authentic-looking emails to direct you right in to their pockets. 
 
Here are a few tips to help you avoid email and shopping scams this year:

  1. Make sure links are accurate. Look for a secure padlock icon to the left of the web address before purchasing. You can also verify links by reviewing the main domain name. 
  2. Do not use an unsecured Wi-Fi network. If you are shopping away from home, ensure you device has all the latest software updates.
  3. Never click through on email links. Go directly to the retailers site via your browser.
  4. Never open an attachment from a retailer. Retailers will most likely not hide deals in attachments. This is a common place that scammers will hide malware.
  5. Deep, deep, deep discounts that seem too good to be true, usually are. This can be a sign of a counterfeit product. Double-check the seller via your own Google searches, Better Business Bureau searches and user-driven and independent review sites like Yelp to make sure they are reputable.
 
Shoppers can avoid being scammed by being diligent and thorough before making any purchases and by ensuring your operating software is updated and security software is installed this holiday season.

To ensure your device is up-to-date with the proper anti-virus, malware and spyware software or if you may have fallen victim to a cyber crime, you can contact Your Hometown Techs to clean out your PC, recover any lost data, reset your machine and ensure your operating system is up to date.

Local Matters

5/9/2019

Picture
'Local Matters' movements are a growing trend nationwide, and for once, this is a trend worth your participation! Our communities and local economies need patrons who spend their paychecks in their own backyard. When you shop local, you are putting significantly more money back into the local economy rather than sending it to a billionaire CEO who has no intentions of returning the favor.

​What else can a local business offer over a nationwide corporation? Local business owners offer unmatched, personalized customer service. Getting to know the owners allows you the opportunity to hear their backstories, learn about their products and share in their successes. Will a large retailer remember your favorite drink, ask you about your family or be willing to order a specialty item just for you? Local businesses and organizations care about their communities and know why local matters. Research shows that local small business owners are more likely to keep their dollars local and improve the local economy. If we haven't convinced you, please ask your favorite local owners why local matters to them!

We get approached with great ideas all of the time. Every once in awhile, one of these great ideas really energizes us because it's something that can completely transform and reunite our community. This is one of those ideas.

We are extremely proud to be a part of The GrandWorks Foundation's efforts to revitalize the Gloria Theatre. Both Chris and Ryan have amazing childhood memories of visiting the theater, and the thought of returning to the Gloria with our own young families is why we do what we do in our hometown. The GrandWorks Foundation and a great group of volunteers are just as excited to rejuvenate those memories and nostalgic feelings in our community.

With so many exciting events going on at the Gloria, it can be hard to keep up, but with a beautiful new mobile-friendly site from Berry Digital Solutions, LLC, that will no longer be a problem. The Gloria and GrandWorks Foundation have also utilized Berry Digital Solutions to help create a strong social media presence that allows the community to engage in these events and give feedback in real time. 

Do yourself a favor and attend an upcoming event at the Gloria Theatre. Experience a rare show, blockbuster movie, or musical in your own backyard in a small rural town.

#ShopLocal & Gift a Massage at West Liberty Healing Arts

12/1/2016

West Liberty Healing Arts logo
This fall, we had the pleasure of meeting long-time West Liberty resident Mary Clasen, Licensed Massage Therapist and owner of West Liberty Healing Arts.  West Liberty Healing Arts has been serving our community for over 2 decades, but the business had never established an online presence.

We helped Mary and West Liberty Healing Arts establish a new online home at WestLibertyHealingArts.com and learned a lot about Mary's business, massage therapy, and reflexology in the process.  You won't find a better way to unwind and relax this holiday season than with a massage from Mary. So treat yourself or treat a friend or family member with a gift certificate to a local massage therapist with over 2 decades of experience serving our community! (Updated Massage and Reflexology rates are available on their new website: WestLibertyHealingArts.com)

Located right off 68, north of West Liberty (and right next to another Berry Digital Solutions' favorite, The Carpet Gallery!), you won't regret #ShoppingLocal at West Liberty Healing Arts! And tell them you love their new website when you call (937) 465-8300!

#WeSpendLocal this Holiday Season!

11/30/2016

We Spend Local
Each year, we like to spotlight unique holiday gift ideas at some of our favorite small, local businesses.  As small business owners ourselves, we understand the importance of shopping local. 

When you purchase from a local business, you aren't paying for another grand vacation, new car, or summer house for a large company CEO. You're purchasing from your friends and neighbors who will use that money to purchase soccer cleats for their kids or groceries for their families.  Of every $100 spent at big businesses, $42 stays in your community. Of every $100 spent LOCALLY, $89 stays in your community, and ZERO dollars stay in your community when you shop online. YOU have the power to make a difference, and there's no better time to make a difference in your community than during the holiday season!

In 2016, we're once again challenging our community to SPEND LOCAL during the holidays. To assist with our challenge, each day in the month of December, we'll highlight one of our favorite local spots to #ShopLocal.  We'll feature some familiar favorites, some newcomers and some businesses that many local folks never knew were options to #ShopLocal.

If you would like to see your local business featured, let us know! 

Check our blog regularly this month and be sure to LIKE and FOLLOW our FACEBOOK PAGE to receive regular reminders to #ShopLocal in your Facebook feed.
