The other service we offer (in addition to creating Shopper Magnets) is to review and create shopfronts for UK shops in The Online Shopping Town. Here are three reasons why this is a good thing to do.

1. Online shoppers!

The Online Shopping Town is a fast growing online shopping directory likely to bring you more customers.

The town is made up of “streets”, each featuring a product category or type of shop.  The result is a place where shoppers can arrive (usually from Google) on streets featuring shops selling things they have searched for, and wander around looking at streets of shops selling other related things.

2. SEO

The town has a good and steadily growing reputation with the search engines (the home page already has Google pagerank 4), and is designed to be search-engine-friendly.  Each street in the town is built around a relevant set of keywords (including the name of the street itself).  Nobody knows precisely how the Google recipe works, but it is likely that being featured on these streets will enhance your own online reputation, and thus your prospects of attracting direct search engine visitors for related keywords.

3. Shopper confidence

Trust matters online, particularly for less well-known shops.  A review of your site in the town (together with an optional badge to show on your site) may help online shoppers know that you are a legitimate and respected online business.

Of course, to achieve this we do not include every shop that applies to us.  We assess each shop that applies to us and decide whether we think it will appeal to our visitors.    Contact us using the form below to find out if we like your shop!

What does it cost?

Our shopfront positions cost £50 per year, which works out at just under 14p a day.   We may also offer you a free shopfront position (which you can take on its own or together with one or more paying shops) if you can provide a suitable link to the town from a page with sufficient Google pagerank.
