Why just DuPage County?

80% of your spending is still conducted within 20 miles from your home.  ShopDuPage.com gives you the tools of internet and the yellow pages focused where you want to buy.

Why wouldn’t I just use the Yellow Pages?

The yellow pages only lists businesses ONCE, in the category where the business has paid to be listed.   Some businesses are not listed at all. You can search ShopDuPage.com by an unlimited number of categories, products, services or keywords.  And you have instant access to their brochures, catalogs, and specials via the Web.  ShopDuPage.com is updated instantly, every day, not once a year.  So if a business adds a new product or service today, or has a special sale, you will know about it today.

Also, the World Wide Web makes ShopDuPage.com interactive.  So you can interact with businesses in DuPage County instantly, sending e-mail, instant messaging or buying online via e-commerce.

Why wouldn’t I use Yahoo! or one of the Internet search engines?

The global search engines can give you too much information.  The search engines give you businesses (and other unintended information) located everywhere in the world.  ShopDuPage is locally focused.  So every business listed is local, where you can go buy an item immediately, not wait three days for delivery.  If you eat it, wear it or if is a service, or might require you to return it, you probably want to buy it locally. 

Sometimes the search engines don’t give you enough information.  Only about 20% of the web sites are indexed by the popular search engines.  We have attempted to obtain EVERY web page of every business in DuPage County.  And if we miss one, or if you would like to add one, you may do so free of charge.  If you are a business in or near DuPage County and don’t have a web page yet,  you can build one in the MyBusiness area of ShopDuPage, free of charge.
