In an earlier era of the internet, in the year 2000, you didn’t know you could go to a website called Google.com, type in a word and discover high quality information from any website in the world about that topic. If you’re like me, you don’t remember when it happened, but you learned to do that.

Twenty years later, you are just learning today that there is a website where you can type in a product or service and discover the local business that has that product. 

Virtualstorefront.co is the Search Engine designed for tens of millions of Shop Local fans across the country. For people like Laura, who shop at Walmart, but would like to shop locally when they can, Virtualstorefront.co is the tool that will turn that impulse into a regular habit by bringing the immediacy and convenience of technology to local shopping.

Our marketing strategy is to turn every Shop Owner and every Shopper into an ambassador by providing excellent customer service. Our goal is to be so good at doing our job, that you can’t stop talking about what we are doing to your family and friends.

This isn’t just talk. Our business plan calls for over 2000 U.S.-based customer service reps serving Shoppers and our Merchant Partners at our company in 5 years. Our biggest marketing cost is customer service. We are budgeting now for the future of the technology we want. Technology run by humans for humans.

84% of shoppers trust their local merchants more than other businesses. Our Merchant Partners are trusted spokespeople who will share with the public the unique value Virtualstorefront.co brings to the marketplace in 2021.

In the near future, you will be able to login and create and control your own Business Profile.

You will control everything, like hours, featured items, announcements and keywords.

Virtual Storefronts will simply approve your changes before publishing them on the Local Search Engine

However right now, for our Pilot Program, our company is creating your Business Profile / Storefront Listing for you.

After you purchase your Storefront, you will be directed to an online form. Enter your data there and we’ll have what we need to bring your storefront live.

As of January 24, it is taking less than 24 hours from when you provide your data to going live.

We are currently publishing Storefronts in under 24 hours after receiving your order. Purchase a Virtual Storefront today, be on a nationwide local search directory tomorrow.

This turnover may be subject to change due to increasing volume.

When we introduce access to control your own business profile, you will be able to go live even faster, and make changes to your Virtual Storefront whenever you want.

Every Virtual Storefront will be assigned a dedicated profile URL when it is created.

Your Virtual Storefront is the ‘home base’ for your Business Profile information.

You can request a specific URL like virtualstorefront.co/MyBusiness.

Custom, dedicated URLs will be assigned on a first come first served basis.

Note: Your URL and the VirtualStorefront.co URL are not case sensitive. We use capitalization only for legibility and emphasis. 

Your business is locally owned; serves a local retail or service clientele directly; and does not significantly benefit from nationally franchised brand marketing (i.e. McDonald’s).

To bring Local Shops to Local Shoppers as soon as possible, we are launching our service in two phases. “Search and Storefronts” is available now for $99/annual.

“Chat and Checkout” will be an optional upgrade available to every business with a Virtual Storefront.

We are developing for release in mid-2021. Chat and Checkout virtualizes customer relationships and sales using an order system that allows you to easily sell anything in your shop.

Virtual Storefronts will make it possible for local merchants to enter the rapidly growing market of ‘curbside customers,’ people who will never set foot in a store to buy something again.
