What eTown Shopping Offers Merchants?

Because we are small business like most of our merchants we have the added benefit of being very flexible with our services and resources.

We develop in house world class marketing applications and have online help files that merchants can use to learn some of the best methods of writing product descriptions.

Our merchants and shoppers make suggestions to us from time to time and we look into each suggestion very carefully. If we find the suggestion to be beneficial to everyone we start working to include the item or application.

With the Internet changing and the applications becoming more complicated each and every day we want to make sure you know we are here to help and to develop with the future in mind for you business. 

Product Pages: Unlimited Product Listings! (Flat monthly rate. No Commissions, No Listing Fees, No Sales Fees) Unlimited Product Pages are included in our accounts.

Web Pages: We offer about 50 classic static web pages. Unlimited Article and Blog pages.(If you require additional static pages beyond our 50 pages for content we will add them for you.) All of our static pages are pure SEO designs to make sure your content is listed in search engines.  Web Pages are included in our accounts.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) features. We offer the best in SEO automated features. Sitemaps, Meta Tags, Custom Title Tags on Product Details, Category Browsing, Article and Blog pages. Our static pages allow you to enter new meta information for every page to better match the page content. Best of all we review websites often and we will make suggestions regarding page content for better search engine inclusion. Our system submits weekly to Google Base Shopping, Hourly to Oodle Publishing and sitemaps to Yahoo, Google, MSN and other major search engines. SEO services are included in our accounts.

Hosting your Storefront: We host all merchant websites and product listings. When we took on the role of your private IT department we weren't kidding. We want our merchants to focus only on marketing and sales. We do all the rest. Which means we host your storefront and setup our special applications in your storefront. Hosting your storefront is included in our accounts.

Website Templates: Website templates are always asked for. We do have hundreds of designs and templates that we can use for your store. We do like working with merchants designing their sites. When you join eTown Shopping and have our M-2, M-4 or above accounts we will help with your logo that you have an other graphics. We always look to keep menu's and links standard in all of our stores so shoppers do not have to relearn links for every website. This is part of our shopping malls design and can not change. But we can change your layout, page size, header, footer, menu's and best of all you can find out first hand what design works best with shoppers. We have, it's consistency in links on every page.

Shopping Cart Checkout: Shopping carts aren't cheap. And running your own shopping cart can cost more in hours than you would like to invest. There are free shopping carts on the market and even free checkout services. But be aware that many of these free checkout services are not in country and if something goes wrong who do you call? We operate our own private shopping cart and offer our cart to all of our sellers online no matter what account you have. Later when you grow you can always purchase your own shopping cart and we can setup that for you. But until you are selling 100+ products per day let's stay with the affordable solution of our community checkout. The orders go directly to you and you process the order in our order manager pages.

RSS Product Listing Feeds One item that is overlooked by many merchants is Product Feeds. These feeds can be added to Google, MSN, Yahoo pages. Many collectors and dealers add feeds to keep up on new listings. We will be bringing you custom feeds by category very soon. Our feed application is included with every storefront.

RSS Blog and Article Feeds Blogs are actually close to short articles typically used to "Get Attention". We have our RSS Feed for your Blogs and articles. You can submit your feeds to any site online while we submit new posts to search engines.

Inclusion to Google Shopping Google is amazing. At a blink of an eye they have their hands in new applications. Google Base Shopping is very complicated and requires special programming to create the pages that submit your products to the shopping index. Because our shopping mall is a community merchandising mall we group every product into a single listing and submit this to Google. You'll find your products in Google Base linked back to the product details page that shows your website. 100% effective marketing developed exclusively for eTown Shopping Merchants.

Inclusion to ShopWiki ShopWiki is a search engine spider that looks for specifically formated pages to crawl. We have designed all of our category pages to match ShopWiki. So no extra work by you our pages are Spider Friendly.

Inclusion to Oodle Oodle is a major classified advertisement network. We gather all products and submit them the minute our product database changes. Oodle could cost major time for merchants working with feeds. We have our automated process that handles listings posted to Oodle and when you notice all the links coming to your products page you'll be glad we work with Oodle.com.

Product Search Our product search feature for every site is not like many small business owners have setup. We do not use outside search engines that display other advertisements in search results. Our custom search page is 100% internal with ads from our merchants and in your store only advertisements for your products.

Merchant Order Management You have to have a method of handling orders. Our system emails you a link to manage each order quickly and easily. No messy system pages. One single page handles everything per order.

Product Listings Your consumer goods are your product listings. We thought long and hard about how many products to limit each merchant. But after review we found that the more products merchants list the more variety thus creating more traffic via search engines. So we offer Unlimited Product Listings! Our method of posting your products is very simple item per item. If you have your catalog on a spreadsheet or database we will send you our Excel version and table assignments. Then we can bulk upload all your products for you. Our price and Inventory updates for bulk uploads are very easy and we can update weekly for your products now and soon it will be hourly for bulk uploading merchants.

Free Inclusion to eTown Shopping Malls We mentioned inclusion to search engines but did we mention that our products will be shown here at eTownShopping.Com? Our main merchandising shopping mall lists all your products the sames as your private website. We do not overwhelm your site but add to the relative search results shoppers see in Google, Yahoo and MSN. We also have available 80 specialty malls that are added when more marketing of specific products is needed.

Display Advertisements on All Mall Landing Pages!  Equal Time, Equal Exposure. We do not charge extra for displaying marketing advertisement banners. Our system counts the ads and makes sure they are displayed evenly 24/7. No need to pay extra to find your products advertised on our main pages it's all included.

Unlimited Product Displays no pay per click.  No Pay Per Click. Never! We want your to show return on your investment and to be able to budget. One fixed monthly fee on a month to month billing and not a penny more for all of our special features and applications.

Sitemap listings of your products. Search engines look to sitemaps so they index pages better. We create community sitemaps and submit them to search engines. Our sitemaps show dept of the site and offer great indexing results. More than a single website with a simple sitemap. Sub-Domain Store Owners use the eTown Shopping Mall for product site maps and the Shops domain for page indexing. This is the best most effective method of getting your pages listed in the search engines.

One very important note:  Regarding Search Engines. Many people are very inpatient and want to see results quickly. We typically see products indexed in other sites under one hour after listing and at times in just minutes. Search engine spiders pass often and we have seen new pages indexed in minutes and other times days. Never has it taken weeks or months. We focus on marketing to search engines that is why our inclusion times are very low. But with fast comes conditions. If you create a product description riddled with spelling errors you run the risk of having that page indexed before you can make changes. Please always proof read your content before posting.

 

We are removing the word FREE from all of our pages.

There is no application in any of our online stores that wouldn't have cost the merchant thousands of dollars to develop.

Because we average 30 special applications all geared toward marketing running 24/7 we can not justify the word "Free".

And from our merchants our services are practically free when you see first hand how effective they are with your products.

One of the best features that isn't actually included is the developer. Founder Murray n. W. has made a career out of developing marketing applications for eCommerce related businesses.

It's nice having your own private programmer that is willing to develop new applications and change old ones to keep up with the times at no additional cost.

The Regional Sales Area

We focus only within the United States of America and allow you to select the countries you will be doing business with.

For security reasons we set all stores to the US and Canada but you can venture outside the USA and Canada if you have known customers.

Why do we restrict countries?

The main reason is to Prevent Fraud. Since 1998 when we first started nearly 99% of all orders generated out of country have been fraud related. The risk is too high so we do our part by not allowing anyone from outside the US to connect to your online store. What they can’t see they can’t steal is our philosophy.

We have Technical support if you require additional help with your product uploads or page content. We are open normal business owners and do not provide a 24/7 support line for merchants but we do monitor 24/7 all stores to make sure the servers are working properly.

We provide first class tools for all merchants small and large and make your life easier by not confusing you with anything outside of the normal day to day business of being a merchant online.

This means you do not need to worry about SEO applications or Search Engine Inclusion. We do that work for you.

We are your technical team and your development team. We keep up on the changes and update every website hosted on our servers as soon as we make the change and test our changes.

You’ll notice the version numbers change on your site overnight when we introduce better marketing applications that will help promote your products and services.

We offer standard selling, best offer selling and auction style selling.

You’ll receive an email when one of your products are order.

Products are always 2 clicks from check-out in any of our shopping malls, storefronts and specialty malls. What this means to you as a merchant your products will be easy to purchase from anywhere within our network.

No matter if a customer orders your product from the eTown Shopping Mall or visits your mall directly the sale is always yours and because we do not charge commission fees or pay affiliate marketing fees there is no reason not to market your products in our full network of malls.

In fact, once you upload your listing our applications distribute your product listing to any number of websites for immediate display. This process extends your marketing reach and helps you promote both your products and your company name.

Our mentor program is to help you with your advertisements. We don’t write for you but we will help you select the words that best describe your products and offer reports to show if your keywords are what people are using in Google searches for example.

Print Advertising is also one way to promote your business and we will be offering the beginning of next year a newspaper print free publication to promote stores within our shopping mall network.

We use PayPal as our main check-out payment processor and is by default included in all stores. PayPal offers both buyer and seller protections that are unmatched by any other payment processor. Combined with our anti-fraud tools you’ll be safer then if you operated your online store using your own bank.

We monitor members and when a shopper processes an order we review the order membership for signs of fraud. If we feel the member is fraudulent we will suspend the member and cancel the order. We provide a safe shopping environment for shoppers by interviewing and researching our merchants and to help our merchants we provide simple screening of new shoppers. Once the shopper has placed orders with any merchant within the eTown Shopping Mall network we typically do not review the process and consider the shopper in good standings.

Who can Sell online with us? Our site is designed for professional resellers, online merchants and brick and mortar merchants covering just about every industry.

We have a simple Mall Garage Sale shopping mall for one time sellers or part-time sellers. Pricing is $19.95 or $29.95 depending on the way your want your store setup and maintained.

Our $19.95 stores use a sub domain name like m2123.etownshopping.com.

These are the best stores to start with if you do not have a domain name in mind or are expanding your current store looking to cover new markets.

Our $29.95 storefronts use a full domain name like www.etownshopping.com and are the best way to promote your company name and associate your company name with your products.

Both stores come with all the features you see in our main shopping malls.

Unlimited product pages, articles, Blogs and pages.

We setup the most common pages for you like Shop, Community, Service, FAQ, Contact just to name a few. You’ll have at least 40 pages to use when you need them.

We DO NOT let’s say that differently. We use “FIXED” price structures for all of our eCommerce plans. We carefully reviewed the commission sites verses the fixed fee sites and found that we wanted to give all the features of both at a fixed rate.

We don’t have managers that require Multi Million Dollar bonuses and we don’t pressure anyone by working on commissions.

Our formula for our pricing structure is based on the amount of money a small business owner should invest in online advertising. That figure is about $300.00 per year or 10% to 15% of your marketing budget.

When you look at the Internet as only 15% of your totally marketing efforts you’ll start to see why we promote products in so many different ways.

We know to keep you in business for the long haul we have to make our marketing the best and our service costs the most affordable. We believe this is the best policy and we also believe for what we offer standard in all packages is the best in the industry for the price.

 

We offer Online Enterprise Solutions for Small Business owners.

You'll notice that eTown Shopping Mall and our eTown Community of Specialty Malls and Storefronts are very different from what you see online today.

The difference is our people. We offer a point of sale for small business owners. We are not a major corporation and do not offer our services to companies that do not fit our guidelines of small business.

We development shopping centers for shoppers. Our systems are very simple to understand and with our shopping centers going up online each week we offer consumers a very good shopping experience.

There's no getting lost in the web when you're shopping at eTown Shopping and any of our Malls and Merchant Stores. We want to make you feel at home and relaxed.

Merchants, Manufacturers, Retailers and Resellers.

We have included every major productive feature that is available online today.

What we have not included is a waste of time for merchants.

Merchants are in the business of selling products and services. You as a business owner don’t have time to design a website and then worry about SEO work or Search Engine Optimization.

We have created online applications that do it all for you!

It’s Time to Rethink what you are doing online.

Do you spend more time updating your website and less time updating your product descriptions?

When is the last time your wrong a review about one of the products that you sell?

When was the last time you wrote an article about your store online and in town?

Marketing, Sales and Advertising should take only 10% of your time and 10% of your budget.

We know this is going to be widespread knowledge very soon because we are releasing our shopping malls, community store centers and private storefronts this month and in a big way!

Merchants and Resellers online have been fighting for Top Ranking for years. The top ranks will almost always be owned by Big Corporate so we look to get you into the top Page then we can work at putting corporate back in place by showing our shoppers we as small business owners in local towns can offer more customer support then any Corporation.

We are new to most but not new to the Internet and we are Experts in Online Marketing and Advertising.
