Guidelines For Business

At ShopVillages our mission is to build self-sustaining local economies by strengthening the connection between local businesses and the communities they serve.

ShopVillages is an online marketplace that supports local commerce. When you share your business’s offerings on ShopVillages, we help you reach your customer so you can better serve them and get to know who they are and what they need.

ShopVillages offers customer insights that will help you, the small business owner, predict and meet customer needs. Local customers want to know that the item or service they seek is available before they make a visit to a local store. When you post all or part of your inventory with the ShopVillages marketplace, local customers find what they need, where they are, get it now, from your store!

By connecting your business to the local customers, ShopVillages can help increase your sales. We focus on listing businesses with a physical presence, so we enable local customers to make a purchase, or reserve items online for pickup in-store. In-store pickup supports our goal to increase your store foot traffic, drives pull through purchases. The ShopVillages marketplace exposes customers to your products and services, which they may not have thought available in their community.

ShopVillages marketplace links communities to their neighborhood businesses to keep dollars local, which strengthens the community’s ability to be self-sustaining.
