BiDir is built like one large, global super mall. An online hub for businesses spread across the world.
Businesses come on board by creating their account on our platform. We give them the visibility, the space, the brand identity, and the freedom to control how their online experience feels like.
On the other end, we offer our users an interface that allows them to discover and interact with businesses on our platform, based on relevance to what they're looking for.
Our users simply type down what they're looking for, optionally narrow down their search by location, and if you happen to provide what they're after, they'll be able to find you and do business directly.
No quirks, no hanging on to "followers" and "likes", and no stressing about your advertising budget.
Even better, you're in control of your online business experience.
We give you online visibility, with control. A rare package.
Here's an elaborate (but not exhaustive) breakdown of what we give you, as a business.
This is simply the online space you occupy on BiDir. Take it like your store or office. Here, you get to tell people what your business or brand is, what you offer, and how to get in touch with you.
A BiDir shop will include basic information such as your business or brand name, description, contacts, locations, and a list of the products, services, or anything else you offer. It will look something like this:
Our online shops are fully optimized and built to the best web and online standards. They also look good regardless of what device your customer will be visiting your shop on.
Fun Tip: If you’re on desktop, view the example above on mobile. And vice versa. You’ll see what we mean 😉.
These shops are also indexed for SEO, meaning your BiDir online shop can be found through a web search engine such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing. Therefore, we ensure we get you traffic from everywhere, not just direct BiDir users.
You also get a dedicated link to your online shop.
Therefore, you can share your BiDir online shop as a professional link to your customers on other platforms and social media, as your business portfolio or marketing material.
Assuming your business is called XYZ Biz, your dedicated BiDir online shop link will look as follows:
www.bidir.biz/xyz-biz
Claiming Your Online Shop is Absolutely FREE.
Getting your online shop, with all its basic information set up will cost you absolutely nothing, FOREVER. And, it will be visible to everyone on BiDir and the world wide web. Grab your shop and dedicated link NOW!
We are generous with the online shop we offer you. With our plans, you get to individually list your products, services, or more, with images and clear descriptions. On top of that, each listing gets a dedicated page and link. Just like your BiDir shop links, you can include these links in your other platforms such as social media, and marketing or promotional material such as brochures and newsletters.
Assuming you’re running a business called XYZ Biz, a link to a listing in your BiDir shop will look something like this:
www.bidir.biz/xyz-biz/products/my-product-1 - For products
www.bidir.biz/xyz-biz/services/my-service-1 - For services
...and more depending on the type of listing you choose. The goal is to keep your online presence looking professional.
Visually, you also get a professional-looking listing page, something like this
Your shop’s listings pages are also fully responsive and built to look professional.
They’re also indexed for SEO, therefore accessible ANYWHERE on the web. This means you get to attract traffic inside and outside BiDir, which includes people searching for the product or service you’re offering through web search engines such as Google.
Malls have rules. But BiDir is by far the most flexible of all e-commerce platforms and marketplaces.
Despite giving you a professional online shop within our platform, BiDir respects your business’s autonomy.
Sell as many products, services, or offerings as BiDir has brought your business. We’ll not ask for a percentage or cent extra. Our purpose is to make it easier for you to get the online and web visibility your business and brand deserves.
BiDir understands that not every business needs to sell online only. Some customers and businesses just prefer an in-person experience. So, despite putting you online and on the web through our shops, your business is free to communicate what it sells online, and what customers can get in-store or in-person. The choice is fully yours and your customer’s.
BiDir tries to interfere as little as possible with your established business processes. So, if you have an established online checkout system your business uses, we allow you to link back to it for every listing you post so your buying customers are funneled to the systems your business is most comfortable and competitive with.
Since we don’t control how you sell, whether online or in-store, you get the freedom to provide your location(s) on BiDir, and we’ll convert your online traffic into foot traffic. You can provide operating hours for each location, and we’ll help your customers know exactly what time they should visit, text, or call.
Moreover, you get unique links for your BiDir shop and your listings, which you can share with your clients on other platforms or put them in professional business material such as brochures.
Your brand or business doesn’t have a website yet? No problem.
A BiDir shop easily gets you online and on the web, without the heavy initial investment of building your own website. Our online shops cover all the basics of a business/brand’s websites, making them more than sufficient for giving you the online visibility you need. Every page is tuned to the correct web/SEO standards, without you having to touch a thing.
Even if you have a website, we’re not here to make your website obsolete. BiDir is that extra source of online traffic and visibility that will bring more leads and customers to your doorstep. We don’t just put businesses or brands online or in the greater worldwide web, we also host a platform where a highly targeted audience, coming to find specific brands, businesses, products, and services, converge in search of their next purchase.
Our primary job as BiDir is to keep our super mall always busy and active. Therefore, we're always advertising our presence to users looking to discover businesses, brands, professionals, products, services, and more, locally and around the world.
This means your BiDir shop doesn’t exist in an empty space. Rather, we put you on display to our traffic of users who can find you, engage you, and potentially do business with you from any corner of your local geography or the world.
What makes us very different is that our audience is fully-focused and targeted. We bring them to BiDir to do one thing only - shop around, discover, and do business. This is the kind of audience that converts. And by just having your BiDir shop set up, you have full access to this audience. Being on BiDir will more than likely expand your visibility, network, and revenue.
Claiming your space on BiDir will only cost you five minutes and absolutely nothing to start.
We allow you to set up your basic shop in BiDir for absolutely ZERO costs, FOREVER. A basic BiDir shop carries important details about your business such as operating hours, business name, description of what you sell or provide, a location, and phone contacts. It can be found by anyone searching on BiDir and the world wide web.
If you want more from your shop, we offer plans curated just for that, at a flat monthly fee.
