Help your customers find their nearest store online
You know what it’s like. You’ve got a potentially interested customer on your website but because they may be nervous about buying online, or simply want to feel or try out the goods before making a purchase, would prefer to make the trip to your store or to visit your local stockist instead.

As a key part of our online strategy, the store finder was essential in helping customers find their nearest St. Tropez salon. It is especially helpful for visitors or people who are new to the area, so adding it to our website can help us to reach out to new customers. It’s also saved us a considerable amount of time that would have been spent filtering through customer enquiries.
Losing a potential customer
Rather than lose a potential sale by presenting the customer with only one purchase option, you could help them by pointing out where they can find their nearest store and also show them how to get there. That way they get to see what they're buying and who knows, you may be able to sell them something else as well!
The way forward
Postcode Anywhere’s store finder service is easy to set up. Simply use our service to geocode the postcodes of all of your stores or stockists and save them, either on your own systems or within a special area in your account section on our website where you can look after them.
Then, all you need to do to is to set up a "Find my Nearest" button on your website that asks the customer to provide their postcode. Our service then geocodes it, compares it to your stored locations and presents the customer with a list of their nearest stockists.
For added convenience, you can show the result on a map and even provide driving directions to the store, should you require.
