Catchy animation to grab attention.

Remember the shopkeeper calling out “I am verified by the king”? Well, the online version of attracting customers is the DigiCert Smart Seal’s catchy animation.

Customers look for trust badges before they invest their money into a brand. In fact, a DigiCert study reveals 71% of consumers look for security seals before shopping from a website.

Earlier as the site seals were not attractive enough, people could not locate them on an e-commerce website. Even if they did, they would not click them to ‘get to know their seller. This means that even if a website took all the measures to get verified it amounted to nothing. Customers would not trust their legitimacy as all the security info is buried within the static site seal, which anybody could spoof.

Another problem, not all site seals can be trusted. Due to their isolated presence, fraud websites copy-paste them masquerading themselves as the real ones. With the DigiCert Smart Seal, its attention-grabbing animation using HTML 5.0 technology, makes customers click it. Once they do, they are presented with all the security measures the brand took to ensure worry-free shopping.

Think of it. You have spent money to get verified. Would you hide this info or proudly announce it in the market? People need to know you offer them the security that others do not.

Once you win your customer’s trust, nothing can stop you from attracting them by the thousands to your website.

Displaying the brand’s transparency: The Splash Page

Understand the site seal’s logic. They are supposed to ensure the visitors that the website they are using is the REAL one. To do that, the site seals are clickable.

Once you click a site seal, you are presented with a splash page. The splash page gives you info on all the parameter’s the website got themselves verified off. Displaying this page is necessary as this is one of the security marks.

You will see a splash page open. This splash page is your way to showcase sheer transparency to the customers. The best part? Here is another added advantage, your global customers can use the Smart seal by choosing their preferred language.
