Online community shopping directory New York Shop Local has launched free and premium listing options for small businesses in the region to maintain accurate information for their customers.

By launching their online directory, New York Shop Local aims to offer businesses an easy way to provide customers with reliable, up-to-date information about which stores, restaurants, and services are currently open in their neighborhoods as circumstances continue to change during the virus outbreak.
Many small businesses in New York rely on the city’s typically high levels of foot traffic to attract customers in their neighborhood, and some local businesses have struggled to compete with larger retailers and online delivery services during the recent pandemic.
Business owners have had to make many changes to continue to serve their customers, including altering their hours or updating their services. For customers, finding information about recent local business closures and openings remains a challenge. Business directories at the national level may not reliably correct their online listings each time local restrictions change or individual stores update their hours.
The New York Shop Local directory, which is searchable by business name, category, or address, empowers local shops, restaurants, and other service providers to reliably reach their clients by maintaining their own accurate, up-to-date information listings. Unlike most directory services, there are no added fees for businesses when customers place an order through a listed phone number or website.
Free listings include business descriptions, addresses and online maps, customer reviews, phone numbers, website links, hours of operation, and pickup or delivery options. With a premium listing, businesses can include their email address, company logo, video, and image slideshow.
New York Shop Local was created with the goal of offering small businesses and their customers a useful community resource during a time when business information changes rapidly. More information for business owners and customers can be found at https://www.facebook.com/newyorkshoplocal
A spokesperson for the company said: “We are making it easy for you to support local businesses by curating the best of the best and making it easy for you to know who is open, when they’re open, and if they’re offering delivery or shipping. Stop giving Amazon all your money and find deals to help you support local New York businesses instead.”
