LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPA®
My name is Ian Vinci and I would like to thank you for your interest in our products.
In today’s world, we have all experienced the lack of service and consideration
demonstrated by many companies after you buy their products. They say whatever
they can to make the sale, and then it’s like pulling teeth to get any service response
out of them. I know this myself firsthand and because of this, I want to be sure that
your experience with IPA® meets your expectations and that IPA® never disappoints
you with our service or customer response.
To prove my commitment to you, if for any reason, you are not happy with one of
our products, or more importantly, with the response from our customer service
department, or any member of the IPA® team, I invite you to contact me directly via
my email, [email protected] or call me at 888-786-7899. Your satisfaction is
more important to me than the sale itself. We will not be in business for long if we
don’t make you completely happy with our products and service. I want IPA® to be
different and be known for its quality and service.
With that said, please take a look at our product line. You will see innovative first time
products that were created to help you do your job faster and better than before.
I would also like to invite you to critique our products. If you can think of a better way
to make them or changes that will make them work better, please contact me directly
and I will be sure to look into it. If you have an innovation and would like some
feedback, give me a call.
From all of us at IPA®, we thank you for taking the time to review our product line and
wish you and your family the very best of everything.
Ian Vinci
