Finding you by the web
When using a locator service you will need to include a small form on
your website through which your customers can enquire on their nearest
stores.
Your customers will be asked to enter their postcode (or, optionally,
their town/suburb name) through this form. The Locator Service uses an
accurate database of geographic centres of each postcode area to compute
the nearest store locations to the customer.
The resulting information displayed includes the key store information
and also may include related product promotional material.
The information and options provided by the system will depend upon
your business requirements.
Our web based locator solution "embeds" into your own website seamlessly
and offers your customers fast access to their nearest store.
Benefits
Implementing the "Nearest" Locator service through your website will
have some immediate benefits:
- Free up valuable web space for further product promotion.
- Simplify navigation through your site
- Offer additional opportunities to reinforce your promotions.
Our web Store Locator Service can be used to achieve these objectives
easily
and can be offered with a single input field rather than providing
a long list of stores.
A service such as this works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and
you may be surprised just how many people will search for this information
after hours.
An additional benefit for your business comes from our ability to provide
you with reports about the postcode areas that your customers come from
and the stores they select. You can then use this to better understand
your target market. We can also log the referring pages so that the source
of the enquiry can be tracked.
So you can see that a service such as this is much more than just a
replacement for a simple store listing or drop down menu.
