Additional business information
On November 16, 2023, BBB sent a request to Budget Blinds to substantiate, modify, or discontinue advertising claims made on their website: https://budgetblinds.com/
Objective Superlative:
The business’s website claims that they are “the #1 window coverings franchise in North America," "we're backed by the largest provider of custom window coverings in North America,” and other similar claims. According to BBB’s Code of Advertising, superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests. As statements of fact, such claims, like “#1 in new car sales in the city,” can be proved or disproved.
Claimed Results:
The business’s website states their products are “energy-efficient style,” “designed to conserve energy with their honeycomb design,” “the natural insulation properties of wood help lower your energy costs too,” and other similar statements. According to BBB’s Code of Advertising, claims relating to performance and results should be backed up by reliable evidence.
Environmental Benefit Claims:
The business’s website claims to have “eco-friendly bamboo shades,” “environmentally-friendly window treatments and completely recyclable,” and similar other claims. Advertisers should avoid broad, unqualified environmental claims such as “green,” or “eco-friendly.” Other claims such as “degradable,” “recycled,” and “non-toxic,” should only be used when substantiated and properly qualified. Environmental Certifications and seals of approval may be used if properly issued. Additional disclosures are needed if not issued by an independent third-party. Click here for specifics.
As of January 17, 2024, the business hasn’t responded to BBB’s requests to substantiate, modify, or discontinue these claims.
