Shop Online With Us Website Directory is a network of businesses who sell online through their own ecommerce website. The directory is split into categories and then in each category a website is featured. There is only one website per category and will ONLY EVER be one website featured per category. This is one of the major benefits of the directory as it is exclusive and means that each business will never have any competition from other businesses selling in the exact same field.
How Does It Work?
The directory works by utilising the existing customer base of all businesses featured. All businesses indirectly help each other to advertise to each others customer base. This is achieved by newsletters and mailing lists but without breaking any data protection laws. It is a requirement of any website subscribing to the directory that they send out a newsletter to their mailing list at least once a month. It is a requirement that the newsletter will feature the following details somewhere within it:
We are listed in the Shop Online With Us Shopping Directory at http://www.shoponlinewithus.co.uk. This is a network of businesses offering a wide range of products at excellent prices.
The newsletters then drive traffic to the directory where each business has its own fully feature page advert with plenty of links through to their website. Visitors will then click through to the websites to view websites and products.
Website Requirements:
- Websites must have a mailing list/newsletter that they send out at least monthly and these must have an option to unsubscribe on them.
- All businesses listed must send out a newsletter at least once a month and have the following paragraph and link to the directory included in the newsletter somewhere: "We are listed in the Shop Online With Us Shopping Directory at http://www.shoponlinewithus.co.uk.

FAQ
How Do I Know That The Other Exclusive Businesses Will Send Newsletters Out?
The administrator of Shop Online With Us will subscribe to each newsletter anonymously and as such will receive each newsletter, checking that the link has been included and also ensuring each business sends out a newsletter monthly. Anyone not adhering to this will be notified and given warning of being removed from the directory.
How Will The Driven Traffic Convert Into Sales?
The directory itself has its own bookmarking button for visitors to bookmark the site. As the directory has a discount codes section and special offers section as well as details of all the businesses it is a site that visitors will want to return to time and time again to check out the latest offers and discounts from the businesses in it.
Why Have A Discount Code Section?
Many businesses have discount codes for a variety of customers from various sources to help convert sales. Discount Code sites such as Hot Deals UK, Money Saving Expert Forum have proved to be extremely popular over the past couple of years with people always looking for a bargain online. By having a section of the site where the businesses listed within it can have a discount code posted means that these area of the site will prove extremely popular with people bookmarking and returning time and time again. The more well known discount and special offer sites also have strict regulations around which businesses can be featured which very often excludes any smaller businesses.
Why Only Feature One Business Under Each Category?
This is to protect the businesses within the directory, so they never have any direct competition. Without this rule no business would want to direct one of their regular customers form their mailing list to another site selling the same type of products, therefore losing business.
How Do I Unsubscribe?
You can unsubscribe if you wish by cancelling the subscription through paypal or alternatively by sending an email to contact@shoponlinewithus.co.uk.
If My Category Is Already Taken Can I Join?
Unfortunately we only allow one listing per category to protect all the businesses in the directory. However we have awaiting list for duplicate category requests and once this reaches a threshold we will be setting up another directory under another name but following the same model. To be added to the waiting list please send an email to contact@shoponlinewithus.co.uk.
