Shoppers can also find your stores' and businesses' locations on Google Map, which is integrated in FindStoreNearU.com 's Search Results.

Even though this website is still new, it has got a very great potential for huge traffic growth because of the numerous attractive features it offers to its users.

1. Their Services & How Their System Works

The use of their system is absolutely FREE for both the shoppers and the store owners.

When shoppers make queries on this website to find stores and businesses in their neighborhood, search results are ordered in ascending order in terms of distance from where they live i.e from closest to furthest. When shoppers choose to communicate with store owners, they can either call them, visit their website or email them.

Their system is conceived to insure a strict email privacy.If shoppers choose to communicate by email, the website conceals their email address as well as the store owner's . Then they send an already formatted message to store owners with only the name and phone number of the customer. The store owner can then contact the customer by phone if and when he/ she wants to.

In their efforts to fight scam, they require that store owners post their contact person's picture so that customers have an idea about the person they are dealing with. They encourage dealings by phone and meeting face to face for the same purpose.

Because they observe a strict "Zero Tolerance Policy" regarding spamming, they conceal the sender's and receiver's email addresses when users use FindStoreNear.com 's email system to communicate with each other. They relay your message and anonymize your email address to reduce third party harvesting and spam.

2. Security

All the information that they collect is kept in a secure location. Their web site has security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse and alteration of your information.

The website uses a secure 128 bit SSL encryption to protect your personally identifiable information. You can verify the validity of their Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate at the bottom of their homepage.
