Become a part of the ShopDome Community as a ShopDome Tenant

In the same way that traditional shopping malls offer consumers a wide range of products and services in a single, convenient location, ShopDome offers our on-line Community Members a one-stop location to find the products, services, information and features they need. ShopDome provides our members with a secure, reputable, familiar, functional and attractive site, hosted on a system with a high-speed, fibre-optic connection to the Internet. This translates into higher traffic and increased exposure for your products or services.

Convenience

In addition to on-line shopping in the Market Square, news, weather, sports and traffic information, restaurants, professional services, recreation and leisure activities such as on-line gaming and horoscopes, charitable and non-profit organizations and much more, are available at ShopDome.

Security

ShopDome maintains the highest standard of privacy, confidentiality and security for our Community Members’ personal and confidential information. Our Community Members can be sure that their personal information is safe when shopping on-line at ShopDome.

Selection

"Virtually Everything" can be found at ShopDome. This includes unique items not available in traditional stores. We want your products and services to be represented here at ShopDome to make our Community Members’ shopping experience as rich and rewarding as possible.

Confidence

Detailed product information, contact information for each ShopDome Merchant and ShopDome’s secure, on-line transaction processing software allow our Community Members to make use of the ShopDome site with confidence. Members are able to contact local ShopDome merchants directly, to provide or update information about a particular product or shipment, and have the confidence that a reputable business stands behind their purchases.

Access

As a ShopDome Tenant your Internet storefront provides inexpensive access to the growing number of Internet shoppers. You have a direct pipeline to interested consumers for your marketing message, to local and global customers. You have access to sophisticated software solutions and technical assistance, to make the implementation of your Internet presence effortless and worry-free.

Flexibility

If you decide you require changes to your website, to add or change products or services, or to highlight special offers, ShopDome’s proprietary database software makes it fast and easy to do. Our Web and Marketing professionals work with you to refine and focus your website to maximize your Internet traffic, and promote your retail location.

Security

ShopDome Tenants also benefit from our secure, redundant web-server installation and high-bandwidth fibre-optic connection to the web. Our Tenants enjoy inexpensive access to our automated, e-commerce and electronic shopping-basket technology, which would be difficult and expensive to implement and manage for a standalone website. ShopDome handles all e-commerce transactions processing for your site. ShopDome’s synergistic approach and economies of scale allow us to make this technology available to small and mid-size retailers at reasonable prices. ShopDome also acts as your agent to verify the integrity of credit card and shipping information.

Advertising

In addition to your direct advertising message on your ShopDome website, the ShopDome Community is supported by advertising and Media Partnership programs with traditional media such as radio, television and print.

Promotions

In addition to the ShopDome Advantage Plus Program, which provides exclusive privileges to ShopDome Community Members through a shared partnership of ShopDome and our tenants, ShopDome is committed to a series of ongoing marketing initiatives designed to increase traffic to the site. Your enterprise can benefit by participating directly in some or all of these promotions, but you also benefit indirectly from the increase in awareness and traffic at ShopDome.

Good Will

ShopDome tenants are encouraged to support charitable organizations and the ShopDome Community, by partnering arrangements, promotions and fundraising events.
