How To Find a Retail Business

Published at 03/22/2012 17:10:02

Introduction

There are many reasons why one would be in need of finding a retail business, without knowing the name of the business. For those times it is good to know how to find a retail business without needing the name. For example if you want to find light fixtures for your home and are looking for a retail business that carries these, you might have to search without having a name to look up. Luckily, this is easy to do and requires just a bit of research on your part.

Step 1

Take out your local business phone directory. Determine some key words that could be used for the retail business you are looking for. For example as with above, if you were looking for light fixtures, you would use the word lighting, fixtures, lamps, bulbs. Look at each heading in your telephone directory to see if you can find a retail business having to do with light fixtures by using any of these words.

Step 2

Search the Internet. If you are looking for a retail business, type in what you are looking for in your favorite search engine. You would type in what you are looking for. For example toddler clothing and then the state you are in. Therefore if you  lived in Rhode Island, you would type, toddler clothing, Rhode Island. A list of of each retail business that sells toddler clothing in Rhode Island should then populate. Look over the list to find the retail business you would like to contact or visit.

Step 3

Ask friends and family. If you are in the market to buy an item, ask friends or family members who may already own that item or who use similar items. They may be able to recommend a retail business for you to visit. One nice thing about asking family and friends for their opinion and advice, is the fact that they know you and will be honest.

Step 4

Take a trip to the mall. If you have not been to the mall recently, it may be time to visit. You may find a great new retail business that you would like to do business with. You may also find an old favorite that you have forgotten about. The mall is all about retail business so you are sure to find a variety of stores to choose from.

Step 5

Take a drive around the retail areas of your home town. You may find a new retail business that you have never shopped at before. You may even find several new places to try. New businesses seem to spring up almost overnight in some cases. During your drive you may be surprised by what you find.

Tips

While searching the Internet for a retail business, be sure to also search for discount codes and coupons for that business. If you are going shopping, you may as well try to save some money in the process.

Instead of always visiting the same stores, it is fun to try new ones from time to time. While everyone probably has their own favorites, you may be pleasantly surprised when you try something new.
