1) The first company to offer an affiliate program
2) The first company to develop a privacy statement on the page where any prospect was asked to enter any information about themselves otherwise at the time the methodology was the Privacy Statement always was shown on another page, i.e., distracting the prospect from taking action on the order form.

It was wildly successful and built one of the largest databases at the time on the internet.
