"We Connect Shoppers and Merchants Across the South Bay."SM

Finding merchants in the South Bay has just been made easier.

South Bay Shopping Guide.com has arrived. Your business needs to be included. "We Connect Shoppers and Merchants Across the South Bay."SM South Bay Shopping Guide.com is poised to become the ultimate shopping data bank for the South Bay of Los Angeles.

*Here is how it works:

A shopper looking for a particular item, or product by a specific manufacturer, will be able to use our exclusive search engine to locate merchants across the South Bay who identify themselves as offering that desired item. Shoppers will even be able to explore shopping districts or malls with map driven "Walking Tours."

Once a merchant is identified the shopper will be given pertinent information, (i.e., store name, address, phone number and a brief description of the business). The shopper can then take a closer look at that merchant by viewing an online brochure, that we create for each client as part of our service. Shoppers will also be able to send e-mail messages directly to the merchant. If a merchant already has an internet presence the shopper would then be able to link to the merchant's website to view current offerings. If you've arrived at this page from outside South Bay Shopping Guide.com see the link at the bottom of this page to deliver you to the fully functioning "Guide." While in the guide this page is located under the "Tips" link in the upper right hand corner - then click "Our Info." On the Shopping Guide run a search for samples and see what we've done for others and imagine what we can do for you. Also under the "Tips" link there is great detail regarding the operation, functions and features of South Bay Shopping Guide.com.

Our exclusive search engine will be able to locate merchants in a refined search - by city, shopping district, (if any), or South Bay wide. Being included, for one year, in the South Bay Shopping Guide.com data bank is as easy as placing a onetime print ad.
