Thanks to nominations from dozens of satisfied customers, KMG Gold is happy to announce that we've been named a finalist for 2013's Better Business Bureau Torch Awards. We're so excited to be recognized for the strong customer service, honesty and integrity that we display in all of our business transactions.

If you live in the Winnipeg area, you might have already seen this exciting news that was posted in the BBB mailer that went out last week. KMG Gold has been named a finalist in the Marketplace Excellence category, an award that we won in 2011 and were named runner-up for in 2012. We're crossing our fingers that we'll be the winner this year and we'll find out on the night of the awards ceremony on October 24.

If you've ever wondered how the Torch Awards work and how businesses can win one, read on!

It starts with the nomination forms. A happy customer will fill out a nomination form that has a few boxes on it along with a few lines asking them to describe how a business went above and beyond the norm. All it takes is one form to be nominated, but KMG Gold was lucky to receive dozens from happy customers, all of which were sent to the BBB. Along with these nomination forms, a company also has to formally apply for the award, writing a few pages detailing what makes their business worthy of such a prestigious award, how they serve customers along the BBB's mandate of trust and integrity, how the company makes a difference in the community as well as in the lives of their employees.

It's a well-rounded report that takes everything from customer service to employee culture into consideration. You can be certain that every business who has been named a finalist is dedicated to providing the best customer service experience possible, which is why it's such an honour to have come this far for the third year in a row.

KMG Gold Recycling, the only precious metal recycler to win two BBB Awards has been nominated for their third straight BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Excellence. The Winnipeg company has won the award every year since the award's inception in 2010.

Winnipeg, MB (PRWEB) September 17, 2012

KMG Gold Recycling has been nominated by their customers for their third straight Better Business Bureau Torch Award.

KMG Gold Recycling is the only precious metal recycler in North America to win the BBB’s prestigious annual award. And they’ve won the award three years in a row since its inception in 2010.

BBB Torch Awards recognize businesses that build trust, advertise honestly, tell the truth, remain transparent in their business dealings, honour their promises and display integrity in all of their marketplace activities.

“Our goal right from the start has been to educate the consumer on the precious metal recycling industry.” said Michael Gupton, President of KMG Environmental Inc. which operates as KMG Gold Recycling in their home town of Winnipeg MB and has a second location in Grand Forks ND.

Gupton went on to say that the key component of KMG Gold is their commitment to consumer education. “We make every effort to educate our clients and the public at large about the precious metal industry so they can make informed decisions. We believe the best way for the public to protect themselves is to be knowledgeable”.

“Being nominated by our customers and winning a Better Business Bureau Torch Award are outstanding achievements for us as it singles out KMG Gold as the gold recycling industry leader in honesty, ethics, and integrity. An educated consumer is a happy consumer... so we’re obviously doing something right!” Says Gupton.

“The process of recycling precious metal is not that complicated. There are simple steps the consumer can take to guarantee they receive top dollar for their “unwanted” scrap gold and silver. All cash for gold precious metal ends up at a refinery. So the consumer should sell gold directly to the refinery to eliminate the middlemen so they can make the most money when selling their gold.” Says Gupton.

KMG Gold Recycling, founded in 2007, buys and sells, recycles, and refines all precious metals including gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Gold and silver can be melted and assayed on-site in Winnipeg.

All of the precious metals KMG Gold Recycling buy and refine are recycled and placed back into the world’s precious metal markets. This helps reduce the demand on newly mined metals, which in turn, helps reduce the amount of energy required to mine virgin metal, and the amount of acid rock drainage from mine waste rock dumps and tailings ponds.

By recycling, KMG Gold Recycling customers alone have helped reduce over 3 million tons of acid waste rock from being generated by virgin mining of gold.

Winnipeg MB February 13 2012

History was made at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, October 2011, when KMG Gold Recycling was awarded its second BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Excellence.

KMG Gold Recycling, the only gold buyer in North America to win a Better Business Bureau Torch Award has won its second award in as many years.

Better Business Bureau Torch Awards recognize businesses that build trust, advertise honestly, tell the truth, remain transparent in their business dealings, honour their promises and display integrity in all of their marketplace activities.

KMG Gold Recycling buys, recycles, and refines all precious metals including gold, silver, platinum and palladium. KMG started as an internet gold buyer in 2007 on www.kmggold.com, and opened their retail location in Winnipeg in 2010.

Since 2007, KMG has served thousands of customers from all across North America and has paid out millions of dollars for gold.

Michael Gupton, President of KMG Environmental Inc. which operates as KMG Gold Recycling said these were the same principles that he used to develop his successful business model, long before he had ever heard of the Torch Awards.

“This is a great honour to win a BBB award in the very predatory gold buyer market. KMG is the very best.” Gupton says. BBB Torch award winners are nominated by their customers and selected as winners from a panel of distinguished judges at the Better Business Bureau.

“KMG Gold customers nominated us for this award; our commitment to trust and ethics and our dedication to our customers make us winners.” Gupton says.

Gupton went on to say that there is one other very important component to his business model and that is education. “We make every effort to educate our clients and the public at large about our industry, so they can make informed decisions. We believe the best way for the public to protect themselves is to be knowledgeable.

Our website www.kmggold.com has become a trusted source of industry information, not only for the general public, but also for other industry participants.”

“The public is beginning to realize that the process of recycling precious metals is not that complicated and that there are simple steps to take to guarantee that you receive top dollar for your precious metals. The simple fact is that to be recycled, all precious metal must end up at a refinery.

The more people, or middlemen, that touch your precious metal on its way to the refinery, the less money you will receive. The obvious solution to get top dollar for your precious metal is to cut out the middlemen and deal directly with a refinery like KMG GOLD.

Co-founded in 2007 by Gupton, a graduate Civil Engineer and registered prospector, KMG Gold is recognized as Canada’s leading authority on recycling gold and silver jewellery and other precious metals. As a functioning refinery and not a middleman, KMG Gold is able to pay more to consumers and businesses wanting to recycle their unwanted precious metals.

This has been confirmed by numerous independent third party surveys including CBC News.

KMG has been recognized for advocating on behalf of the consumer and pushing for more transparency in the marketplace through public education. The KMG Gold website has become a valuable resource for those wanting to learn more about the industry.

KMG works closely with the Canadian Cancer Society and Canadian Goodwill Industries, helping in raising funds for research and creating jobs.

Middlemen gold buyers can be a hindrance when looking to sell gold, silver, platinum and palladium for top dollar. Middlemen pay very little money for gold, silver, platinum or palladium, mostly because they are also keen on making profits by selling to reputable refineries. When looking to sell gold, it is absolutely necessary that you avoid middlemen, so you can make top dollar.

Why Choose Refineries?

Middlemen typically seek to buy gold cheaply so they can sell to refineries for the most money. What this connotes is the fact that refineries actually pay far more money than middlemen. A refinery pays six times more money than any middleman can offer. Middlemen will hide behind efficient advertisements and marketing campaigns to get you to sell them gold, but certain factors typically point them out. Middlemen are like fly-by-night gold buyers. There is always a lot of mystery shrouding their operations.

To identify and point out middlemen gold buyers, beware of the following:

Unaccredited firms

Reputable gold refineries will have necessary industry accreditations such as Better Business Bureau (BBB), McAfee, TRUSTe and VeriSign. Accreditations are an indication that a gold buyer is trustworthy, and practices ethics, honesty and integrity in its marketplace activities. However, companies run by middlemen will have no accreditations whatsoever. Avoid such companies when looking to sell gold for top dollar.

Expensive Advertisers

Expensive advertisers could also be indicative of middlemen gold buyers. Middlemen will use every trick in the book to get you to sell them gold, silver, palladium and platinum. Remember, all they seek are profits and they will find innovative ways to buy gold from you. As such, expensive advertisements that promise high rates and services out of this world should be looked at twice and with a keen eye. When a company uses an expensive advert, how do you think they recoup their money? By buying gold cheaply from you and selling to refiners for top dollar. Beware!

Payout Prices

Typically, some companies run by middlemen can be identified by how they advertise their payout prices. Pointers to look out for include companies that advertise their payout prices in the following:

• Price ranges say $7-$14
• Flat or rounded off prices, say $14.55
• Per Pennyweight prices instead of Per Gram prices

The above payout prices can be misleading and ensure you get paid peanuts for your gold. For the price range, you will always get paid the lower value in the range, never the higher. For the flat or rounded off price to the dollar, you never get the change, the gold buyer keeps it. As for the per pennyweight prices, the impression created is that there is more money to make, as opposed to per gram prices. However, you actually make less money. Watch out and beware of middlemen gold buyers.

The advertising field complies thoroughly with three necessary and important rules which are:

• Non deceptive and truthful advertising should be done.
• Proofs should always be possessed by the advertisers for the purpose of backup.
• Moreover, all advertisements should be done fairly.

Because the ornaments appear more attractive and brighter in gold advertisements, it is quite obvious that people are easily drawn to them. It is recommended that people should not use shabby ads and get carried away. Fearless advertisement publishing can be done as long as honesty is maintained by the gold merchant.

It is essential that a gold company is equipped with very solid evidence or strong basis to back up the claim it makes, before the advertisement is published. This means that documental proof is vital for all advertisements made.

Hence, in advertising, a vital role is played by advertising and it is closely connected to truth. For guaranteeing success in any business, advertising is declared to be one of the mightiest tools. The real flavor of success in the business can only be brought through strong advertisements. In order to back the claims which have been made in relation to durability, quality, originality and the guarantee of the gold, evidences should be kept ever ready by the gold merchant. At the time of publicizing the product, these things should be considered.

Customers often ask for evidence in a subtle manner when they visit a gold merchant and make a reference to the ad which captured their interest. The customers will not stick to the merchant for purchasing if the gold merchant does not satisfy the customers by showing them supporting documents. For attracting clients and customers, advertising is the only means. In order to call attention, the ad items and other stuff is portrayed in an attractive manner which is attention grabbing and draws the eye. To make the ad absolutely fair, only the truth has to be presented in it.

A business can proper limitlessly and the prospects of success will spike up with truth and advertising. False advertising on the other hand can kill a business permanently. With truthful and honest projection of the credibility of a gold company, top dollar can be earned. In this manner, all clients, competitors and business associates will stay on their toes. Success will result if all of them become convinced of the integrity of the business and put their trust in them.

As truth is strictly followed in the ads which are published, it is not difficult to make money with KMG Gold Recycling. People can put their blind trust on the gold from KMG as it is pure and authentic. Before buying gold, one should keep in mind all the above mentioned factors.

KMG Gold Recycling recently won the 2010 BBB Torch Award for marketplace excellence, truth in advertising, honesty and ethics.

KMG Gold Recycling - a international buyer and refiner of precious metals based in Winnipeg, Manitoba – credits its focus on transparent pricing and top-notch customer service with cementing its reputation as the industry's most “trusted” gold buyer. KMG Gold purchases gold, silver, platinum and diamonds from consumers throughout Canada and the United States through their website business (www.kmggold.com and www.kmggold.ca), at gold parties run by company trained certified gold buyers, and at their company-owned store in Winnipeg MB.

KMG has direct to the refinery shipping outlets in Sacramento California, Edmonton Alberta Canada and also at participating The UPS Stores® locations in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Kamloops, Winnipeg, and Calgary, Canada. Shipping direct to the refinery will always net the customer the most money for their gold, platinum and silver.

The gold buying industry, spurred by skyrocketing gold prices, has come under the media microscope. But, by conducting its business with a high level of honesty and integrity, KMG Gold has distinguished itself from the pack.

“Our transparent business practices and superior customer service wins us a loyal following,” says Michael Gupton, founder of KMG Gold. “We pay more money than all of our competitors and post our prices every day on our website. We lead the industry by providing Canada's only precious metal shipping insurance, a written evaluation and offer to purchase.” And, adds Gupton, “Our new website lets consumers browse and see the prices we pay and what we buy. It helps consumers have a better idea of the value of their own items before they send their gold to us.”

Gupton, a 25+ year gold industry veteran and published author is often tapped by consumers advocacy groups and charitable organizations  to speak about gold and gold value.

“At KMG Gold, we believe strongly in educating consumers about the value of their gold. The more information the consumer has, the less likely they will be misled by dishonest dealers,” says Gupton. “We provide a extensive range of information on our website and have an excellent customer service team to quickly respond to emails and phone calls.”
