Top: Business: Consumer_Goods_and_Services: Clothing

Retailers listed in Business vs. Shopping





Corporate sites for regional, national, and international retail chains, corporations, and holding companies may be listed within Business if they are focused on providing information about the retailer rather than functioning as a consumer shopping destination.





For example, http://www.walmartstores.com/ is WalMart's corporate site, and may be listed in the Business branch. However, http://www.walmart.com/ is a consumer shopping site, and would thus be listed in Shopping.





When a retailer's site functions as both a corporate site and a shopping destination, the site is generally listed only in the Shopping branch (e.g. http://www.landsend.com/).





Sites generally not listed in this category include:

  • Individual retailers are listed in one of three places, according to the above criteria.
    • Business: Those which meet the aforementioned requirements for a listing in Business are listed according to their industry.
    • Shopping/Clothing: Retail clothing sites designed as online destinations for distance shopping.
    • Regional: Sites for local retail outlets are listed according to the city or town where they are located.
  • Manufacturers of the goods sold by retailers are listed according to their primary industry, i.e. if 70%-80% of your industry is of one type, please submit to that subcategory.
