Gain More Website Exposure By Advertising on a Cybermall

Cybermalls can add additional locations in which a visitor may find your store, products and services. It mis a viable option to explore when attempting to increase your website traffic.   

Let's start with what a Cybermall is...it is an online virtual shopping center that combines multiple website storefronts, usually in a categorized fashion to provide a multi-store shopping experience for the Internet shopper. It is essentially a mall in the truest form but located on the Internet. Generally, there is a banner ad, or some type of advertising draw, linking directly to your site.

The cyberstore introduces your storefront and often provides you with a template storefront to introduce your products and services, in addition with some type of navigation directly to your website storefront.

The benefit of a storefront is when a shopper visits a Cybermall, they are exposed to a multitude of store products and services, which can increase your website traffic by providing another way for your site to be noticed and possible conversion to a new sale.

Basically, you are adding new ways for your site to be found by the Internet shopper. As we know, any additional avenue for a shopper to find your storefront will increase traffic and your ROI.

In some cases the Cybermall will provide a unified shopping cart, allowing them to shop the entire Cybermall and check out only once. This is appealing to Internet shoppers because they can experience the benefit of shopping in multiple stores but having to go through the payment process only once.

There are several issues you must evaluate before just jumping into the Cybermall venue, such as:

• Does the Cybermall promote offline as well as online
• Make sure you can verify the Cybermall's traffic analytics
• Be sure the the Cybermall promotes to gain customers not only merchants
• Verify that they use a secure credit card transaction process
• Use a Cybermall that utilizes themes or categories
• Be weary of miscellaneous charges to you as the merchant

I recommend you start with a smaller Cybermall, to get a feel of the process, which sometimes can be daunting in the larger Cybermall venues. One smaller Cybermall that is a great one to target, is Slowtowne Market Place. They provide a categorized organization of the published web stores in the mall.

Begin by exploring the Cybermall to see if your web store would be a good fit in the Cybermall. If the Cybermall is a good fit for your products and/or services, click the “Contact Our Webmaster”, for example in the Slowtowne Market Place. Complete the form or write a standard e-mail, with the subject of “Add Retailer”. This will start the process of adding your web store to the Cybermall.

Next, take a bigger step and try Buy.com, this is a large polished Cybermall that most likely will provide a good venue for your products and/or services.

Whether you start with a small Cybermall or shoot directly for the larger venue, remember the above points that you should always verify first before joining as a merchant. In tune with your budget for Cybermalls, you may participate in as many Cybermall's as you wish.

If your goal is to increase your web exposure and sales of your products and/or services, try the Cybermall venue, monitor and evaluate your results after a month's subscription and make your final decision on whether a Cybermall would be an appropriate fit for selling your products and services.
