We are striving to represent every consumer goods category!
We are committed to offering the most extensive range of goods and services globally. By meticulously organizing products into precise categories, expanding our category range, and pioneering new ones, we aim to simplify the search process for consumers, ensuring they find exactly what they need.
We Seek To Reignite the Vendor/Merchant Relationship
Reigniting the once vibrant vendor and retailer relationship that were once connected by the merchant team is a key focus in improving the online shopping experience. We want to get to know you, your company, your brands, and your products so that we can best present them to meet the collective needs of the consumer.
We Choose To Give Products and Brands A Voice
We prioritize functionality and context in presenting products across all categories, allowing them to complement one another and maximize their impact. We do this by vetting, curating and organizing them. While we place a significant emphasis on brands, companies, and the people behind them, our focus is to amplify the unique voice of each product.
We Require Every Product To Have A Brand
To enhance the online shopping experience we require that products be supported by a brand and company that offer customer support. We place a focus on presenting products from the brands that introduced them to the market, with a goal to not make you compete with knockoffs, non-branded goods and product duplication.
We Add eMerchandising
Our merchant-driven philosophy places an emphasis on cross-merchandising, themed assortments, and innovative merchandising. Placing a focus on providing 'everything' the consumer needs for a given task, use, or theme, while also providing category adjacencies to enhance the offering.
We Offer Free Browsing To Users & No Upfront Costs To Vendors
We offer free browsing for all users, and there is no upfront cost for vendors. Our primary goal is to expand your business by introducing you to new markets, attracting new customers, and retaining existing ones. We are a new kind of online shopping mall.
Consumers Place All Orders Through Our Retail Partners
The addition of an eMerchandizing/eMarketing arm to the eCommerce channel allows the market to better assist the consumer with their online purchasing needs, manufacturers to make and ship goods, and our team to focus on helping the consumer find what they need. With no limit to the number of online retailers we work with, it allows us to offer a wider breadth of products with out the worry of inventory dollars.
We Focus On Value Not Price
Products and brands now have the opportunity to fulfill the current needs of all consumers regardless of retail standards of the past. This allows consumers to shop by the value the product that best meets their needs. We don't present prices, we present products where they make a contribution and add value. Products fall into a good, better, or best rating based on the value they contribute.
We Present Alternative Marketing Opportunities To Brands
While most eCommerce sites are focused on pay for placement, popup ads and search term payments, we offer landing page ads that are part of the categories you support. Your brand, featured product, or message is available to those seeking more info, searching for answers or looking for a solution. Every brand has the opportunity to help us tell their story, but no brand is given the chance to dominate.
We Provide Access To Industry & Sales Data
Your knowledge would expand allowing you to enhance your product development, operational planning and business strategies. We will gather and produce usable data that allows our vendors to do what they do better and help us serve the consumer better. We will also provide information about requested products, changes in behaviors, and voids in the market.

Once approved, the only requirement is that your products are sold online on your own website or through at least one eCommerce website or marketplace and you are associated with an affiliate program. If you are not sure what that means, we can clear it up for you.
Let's Focus On Quality
We ask that every product we feature must do what you say it will do, maintains strong customer reviews, and be packaged well for shipping. Products are not required to have retail packaging but must be suitably packaged for protection during shipping. Each product must stand on its own and is approved independently. We will ask for some product information, professional photography, and the chance to touch and test the goods or services.
Let's Explore Each Product
While we cannot personally test every product, we want to get to know your products better with the help of our experts, influencers, and eMerchant team. We may decide to try them , taste them, or compare them. We want to give our consumers the confidence to make good purchasing decisions and this is best done when we have first hand experience. Our eMerchant team has begun accepting samples for review, but please before sending samples, request approval and shipping details. If you plan to meet us in person, feel free to demonstrate and leave samples for further review at that time. Please mark all samples with your assigned vendor number to help us stay organized.
Let's Complete the Details
Please request our product submission form, one per item or service(if multiple sizes, colors, or other like characteristic - one form for all is acceptable), while this process may be a bit daunting, it is necessary to help us know what we need to know about each product. Please include a link(s) of where we can find the product online that you would like to share with us, with your suggested link first. Leave the sections that not apply blank. The form will save your work if you need to come back later. Our team is available to answer questions throughout the process.

Let's Talk Cost Details
There is NO upfront cost to be included on the Online Shopping District,™ we only request an affiliate fee be paid when a consumer chooses to make a purchase. Affiliate fees are paid through eCommerce sites such as Amazon, Walmart, and companies such as Sovrn and are pre-determined. This fee is part of the marketing and advertising structure and is not paid by the consumer. We can help you find the best program if you do not have one in place. You also cannot pay for preferential treatment, we want to keep things as fair as possible. We do require quality photographs of all accepted products, if these are not available we do offer photography services for a nominal fee. It is important to us that every product is represented in the best light and this begins with great photographs.
Let's Discover Marketing Opportunities
We do have a limited number of Brand Market Pages available within each category depending on the breadth of the category. Brand Market Pages are landing pages where together with our eMerchant and eMarketing teams help you to further tell your brand story, feature a product, or create a promotional opportunity. The fee to create each page varies based on the scope of the project and the monthly park fee is subject to the length of the campaign and the scale of the project.
