In order to continue or mission to make yourlocalbiz.com.au the most flexible business directory in Australia we have introduced a new input into the listers options. The choice of your online business options to listings.

We operate online and locally
We operate online and deliver Australia Wide
We operate online and deliver locally
We consult online only
We also operate online and deliver locally
We take orders on the phone and online
We also take orders on the phone and deliver Australia Wide.

We take online orders

The reason for this is that it tells the user immediately what you are prepared to do for them. For example Dominos Pizza has recently added online ordering to the menu of choices (no pun intended ;) ) so now they are prepared to take phone orders and online orders and deliver locally (as well as their local shopfront). Camera House, as another example, give the option of ordering online, a local store (which receives your order) and you can either collect or have the product delivered but they still have a local presence as a franchise. There are furniture stores that have online business that will only deliver to the local area (possibly where they have a franchise agreement or don't do longhaul deliveries as there is installation involved). As you can see there are many options to a business and its product delivery and we are adapting to the new and different needs of business people. As another example perhaps you provide a service like wedding venue but will take online bookings for people that are not local, there are too many other options to mention (Please let us know if there are enough options for you as a business lister).

Online is not local did we hear you say? :) (This is predominately an addtional service to customers). When when you live and work in an area people know who you are, especially if you are a member of the local community, and that is your business location and you will no doubt as the business owner physically deliver the products to your customers in your local area. Perhaps your business might move from online to predominately local, a reversal of fortune perhaps? It is about adaption but more importantly if someone is searching for a product or service and they find your listing and you are prepared to deliver to them you are servicing that area and this has opened up new markets for you as a lister. Another good reason to be on www.yourlocalbiz.com.au
