Looking for a better way to deliver dealer or distributor information on your web site, but don't want to share your entire database of dealers with your competition?
BuildingOnline has the answer! We call this BuildingOnline's dealer locator search limiter. BuildingOnline's dealer locator uses the most up-to-date U.S. zip code and Canadian postal code data in combination with a smart look-up program that limits the total number of U.S. zip code and Canadian postal code your visitor can search on.
For example, a regular visitor/customer looking for a local dealer will only search on a few zip or postal codes in their area. However, your competition will try searching on dozens, maybe hundreds of zip codes to secretly steal your list of dealers. When you use BuildingOnline's dealer locator search limiter product on your site, we stop your competition from doing this by limiting the dealer look-up to 3, 4 or however many dealers you want to show. We can even limit the number of dealers that come back in the return results to the 10 closest dealers, regardless of how far from the zip code they search on. But for those honest, potential customers that search on the same zip code they will be able to see those results as often as they need. We only limit the search based on different zip codes, not the same zip code or postal codes.
Many of our clients love being able to share their dealer database with honest prospects and customers, while frustrating their competition. We make BuildingOnline's dealer locator search limiter secure and easy to use to help INCREASE your sales, while protecting your precious dealer data from unscrupulous competitors.
Here are a few other unique features of the BuildingOnline dealer locator that you can include:
- NEW! Google Maps built right into the return results
- Web site visitors to find the best locations to buy your products.
- Allowing for linking to your dealers' Web sites and email addresses.
- Adding or updating new or current dealers through a password protected administrative section.
- Allow dealers that you don't even know about to fill in their information and submit it to you for possible inclusion of your online dealer database. For exampe, those dealers that buy through your 2-step distributors can be added, but only with your prior approval. See an example of this dealer submittal form on the MazeNails.com web site.
- Provide your company with a daily or weekly updated spreadsheet list of zip or postal codes your visitors are searching for. This can help in local demographic marketing to see what areas of the country are the most popular and to help increase dealer sales where inquiries may be high, but you don't have an established dealer network.
Not all the dealer locators we have built over the past 12 years have the zip code limiter search, but we sure encourage you to take advantage of this unique technology that is both friendly to your future/current customers and locks out the competition. Here are few examples of standard Store Locators online for your review:
