Marketing
The CSSB is committed to a strong marketing program. The CSSB publishes a wide range of literature and promotional items, tools that are constantly being updated to attract the attention of the target audience. The “Certi” brand is actively promoted in all CSSB marketing efforts; trade shows, product labeling, magazine ads, District Manager seminars, literature, media relations and much more. Each year CSSB staff answer thousands of consumer questions. The team is dedicated to helping CSSB members be as successful as possible.
Quality Products
Only CSSB member mills are allowed to use the distinctive “Certi” brand name on their product labels. All manufacturing members must commit to independent, third party random inspections. These inspections ensure that grading standards are followed. Strict adherence to these guidelines allows Certi-label® products to enjoy a consistent quality reputation. CSSB manufacturing members also undergo a second quality control check by the CSSB-exclusive Cedar Quality Auditor.
