Our Goal
At Par Avance, every challenge is an opportunity for a win-win scenario. Our job is to empower you, the merchant, to profitably and responsibly create the best possible online buying experience for your customers.
We're different. We are not a volume-based service provider. We recognize that our clients are real people with great ideas and valid worries — not just accounts to sign up, service, and collect from. We prefer to keep our customer base small enough so that we can dig in and truly understand your objectives, motivations, constraints and future direction.
We usually work with new business entrepreneurs, startup companies, and established business owners as well as project managers and leaders in marketing and information systems departments. Our experience in our eleven years of operation has enabled us to understand different industries in-depth — high tech, entertainment, publishing, natural foods, health, and of course, retail. We help our customers sell direct to consumers, to other companies or to distributors.
We want to learn about your business. Our job is to identify and recommend the best possible alternatives for your unique operation, and to follow through with solutions that result in your customers' trust and in your complete satisfaction, confidence, improvement, and at times, relief.
From the President
It was my dream to start a company that would be immersed in the excitement of the latest advancements in communication and information services, but especially one that would get us into the trenches with our customers. A company that would seek out and nurture long-term relationships so that we could share in our customers' visions of the future and anticipate the direction of their needs. A company where we would fully understand their businesses and help enable their successes.
Par Avance was founded in 1996 with just one employee: me. Since then, we've grown, shrunk, re-sized, right-sized, and adapted as needed to the changing environment, but through it all we continue to operate as a business that offers personalized service.
Our people are a special breed, and are carefully selected for the right attitude as well as for technical expertise. We are people who truly care. We know technology. We know our customers - what keeps them up at night, what their day-to-day challenges are - and we attack their problems with focus until they're resolved. We share in the enthusiasm and satisfaction of a job well done, a project completed, a solution found or made.
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to learn more about Par Avance. I, and every member of the Par Avance team look forward to helping you find confidence and satisfaction in attaining your goals.
Sincerely,
Susan Rampson, Founder
