Good Housekeeping

Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Good Housekeeping shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Good Housekeeping offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Good Housekeeping at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Good Housekeeping? Wrong! If the Good Housekeeping is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Good Housekeeping then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Good Housekeeping? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Good Housekeeping and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Good Housekeeping wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Good Housekeeping then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Good Housekeeping site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Good Housekeeping, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Good Housekeeping, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Good Housekeeping is a women's magazine owned by the Hearst Corporation, featuring articles about women's interests, product testing by The Good Housekeeping Institute, recipes, diet, health as well as literary articles. It is well known for the "Good Housekeeping Seal," popularly known as the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval."

The magazine was founded May 2, 1885 by Clark W. Bryan in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

The magazine achieved a circulation of 300,000 by 1911, at which time it was bought by the Hearst Corporation. In 1966 it reached 5,500,000 readers.

The Hearst Corporation created a United Kingdom edition along the same lines in 1922.

Famous writers who have contributed to the magazine include Somerset Maugham, Edwin Markham, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Frances Parkinson Keyes, A. J. Cronin, and Evelyn Waugh.

The Good Housekeeping Research Institute The Good Housekeeping Research Institute, founded in 1900 as an "Experiment Station," awards the Good Housekeeping Seal to products whose advertising claims have been reviewed by the GHRI.

It advocated for pure food as early as 1905, helping to lead to the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. It prohibited the advertising of cigarettes in the magazine in 1952, 12 years before the Surgeon General's warning labels were required.

In 1911 Hearst bought the magazine; one year later, Harvey W. Wiley took over its laboratories and established the Good Housekeeping Seal.
