Basic listings on in the UK Shops & Shopping Guide are free, but all online shops can significantly enhance their exposure by adding your company into the UK Shops & Shopping Guide Detailed Shop Listings. These are the most viewed sections of the UK Shops & Shopping Guide website and Detailed Shop Listings have two main components:
1) UK Shops & Shopping Guide - A Shop Overview Listing
Your online shop will be displayed under an appropriate online shopping genre. You will be one of 10 shop listings viewed on this page and these listings will include the following features:
2) UK Shops & Shopping Guide - A Shop Specific Listing
UK Shops & Shopping Guide shoppers will navigate to this page if they are looking to find out more information about you and the products an online shop sells from the details given in the Shop Overview Listing above. You will be the only company** featured on this page so you will have an excellent opportunity to engage the UK Shops & Shopping Guide shopper and convince them to visit your online shopping site. On this page you are allowed to feature all of the following:
All submitted banners and images should be designed to be viewable by both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers and it is the responsibility of the participants to provide the banners and images to UK Shops & Shopping Guide.
The cost to participate in a 'Detailed Shop Listing' as described above is £175 per year. Your online shopping site will be listed under as many online shopping subcategories as are applicable to the items you sell - up to a maximum of 12 shopping categories.
Note that the UK Shops & Shopping Guide Team reserve the right to decline some or all of the subcategory requests the UK Shops & Shopping Guide receive, e.g. if an online shop requests to be listed under 'Online Casinos' but that particular online shop specialises in selling wooden toys, the shop listing request will be declined.
Please also be advised that an online shop entering into the Detailed Shop Listings scheme will not be guaranteed a "Top 10" Shop Overview appearance under a desired online shopping genre, i.e. the Shop Overview information of an online shop entering into the Detailed Shop Listings scheme will not necessarily appear on the first page of the desired online shopping genre. However, the UK Shops & Shopping Guide Team would also not expect the Shop Overview profile of an online shop participating in the Detailed Shop Listings scheme to appear as the last online shop under the desired online shopping genre. If you have any queries regarding your potential Shop Overview placement, please contact UK Shops & Shopping Guide and we would be happy to discuss your specific requirements further.
