About First Impressions and YourSafeChild.com Our company, First Impressions, was incorporated in 1998. At that time, we provided child identification booklets, a relatively unknown product. The booklets enabled parents to easily create detailed records about their child's personal and medical information, for use if the child was ever missing or abducted. As parents and police departments around our local area became more familiar with our booklets and their benefits, there became a high demand for them, and we decided to expand our business to serve the entire country. YourSafeChild.com became our online presence in 1999, providing Internet visitors with child identification booklets and safety information. In November 2000, we updated our booklet, and branded it the ChildPrint ID Kit®. ChildPrint® and its components are the highest quality available, and the information it contains, the most comprehensive in the industry. ChildPrint® is also priced affordably, so every parent can have access to this important resource. We have won nationwide praise for ChildPrint's aesthetics, low cost, and contents. In May 2001, we introduced Safe Shoes Child ID™, an innovative product created by a mom in New York. She wanted to give her children a "secret weapon" if they were ever lost or endangered. Safe Shoes enables children to get help in such a high stress situation, where they may forget their telephone number, or even their parents' names. This essential product is now a standard part of our ChildPrint ID Kit®, is also available as a kit, and in packages of 250 pairs of labels. In September 2001, we introduced the ChildPrint ID Card™, a wallet-sized version of the ChildPrint ID Kit®, designed to be carried by parents and caregivers. The ID card has become extremely popular because it's portable, yet extremely comprehensive. In October 2002, we introduced Spanish versions of the ChildPrint ID Kit® and the ChildPrint ID Card™. In February 2003, we introduced the Adventures In Safety's Journey of the Steal-Proof Master. Woven into a fantasy story, this full-length movie teaches children about the common abduction lures in a fun and fascinating way. It was produced by a well-known Connecticut martial arts teacher, and is an excellent resource for parents, children, and educators. In April 2003, we were proud to introduce Toothprints® Bite Impressions to our product line. Toothprints® records the dental characteristics of children for use in identification, and has won international acclaim for its ability to trap DNA from saliva. Toothprints® is now an optional component of our ChildPrint ID Kit®, and we are the only child identification company authorized to include Toothprints® in an ID kit. This authorization comes from the inventor of Toothprints®, Dr. Tesini. 2004 was a very busy year, although no new products were added. We moved to a new location which expanded our printing and shipping capabilities. Now we are better able to process and ship most Standard orders within a day of receipt, ensuring that customers always receive their orders before they expect them. 2005 was our biggest year of growth. In March we partnered with Carlie's Crusade, a non-profit organization based in New York, in the memory of Carlie Bruscia, a young girl abducted and murdered in Florida. In August, we partnered with Retro Bill, the official DARE school spokesperson, and produced a custom kit for the DARE program. Bill speaks year long at conferences and schools, and is introducing our kit to police, FBI, and DEA departments throughout the country. To round out the year, our website also got a new look in October, which we hope will provide visitors with easier access to information and simplified ordering. To date, we have sold millions of child ID products to every US State, every Canadian province, and many countries throughout the world. Since also believe in helping communities, we regularly donate products to those in need, as well as offer discounts to all non-profits. Our products are assembled by a large group of extremely capable disabled persons, and we are happy to provide them with work that enriches their lives and self-worth. Much of the credit for our success goes to this special group, and they are deeply appreciated by everyone at First Impressions. http://www.yoursafechild.com/
