First up, let’s talk about what the Business Directory really is
Imagine giving local businesses a stage on your site, where they can post short, snappy ads.
Each of these entries gets its own dedicated subpage, complete with all the essentials like photos, a map, contact info, and a brief description of their offerings.
And the best part?
These entries can be highlighted right on your homepage using a stylish widget.
It’s like having a mini yellow pages right on your site, but way cooler and more interactive.
Now, let's get to the part that makes your wallet smile – monetization.
4media’s Business Directory isn’t just a feature; it’s a revenue generator.
You can charge businesses for premium spots, extended exposure times, or eye-catching graphical enhancements.
Think of it as offering VIP packages – the more they pay, the better their visibility.
You can manage all these monetization options effortlessly from your admin panel.
Whether it’s deciding the cost for homepage promotion or adding extra fees for additional photos and videos, you’ve got full control.
This means a steady stream of revenue while providing valuable advertising space to your local businesses.
As the administrator, you hold the reins. You decide who gets to post and whether entries need approval before going live.
This moderation ensures that your directory remains professional and relevant.
You can choose to enable or disable the addition of entries with a simple toggle.
And if moderation is your game, you’ll find all pending entries waiting for your review right on your admin dashboard.
Approve, edit, or delete with just a click – it's all about maintaining quality and relevance to your site.
Let’s talk about visibility
Entries aren’t just hidden in some obscure corner of your site.
They’re prominently displayed in the category menu, on a dedicated hub page, and within the Business Directory widget.
This means maximum exposure for businesses. On top of that, the global settings in your admin panel are your command center.
Here, you can set rules for everything – from character limits on entries to displaying view counts.
Customize informational messages for every scenario, whether it's welcoming a new business or updating an existing entry.
It’s all about making business directory user-friendly and professional.
Want to make certain entries stand out? 4media offers fantastic options.
You can feature entries at the top of the list, add colored borders, bold fonts, or even include YouTube videos.
These enhancements not only make entries more attractive but also provide additional monetization opportunities.
Charge a bit extra with these premium features and watch your directory come alive with vibrant and engaging content.
It’s like giving businesses the red carpet treatment while adding a lucrative stream of income for you.
Lastly, let’s go into the management side of things because for the Business Directory module this is where all the stuff happens
You get a detailed list view of all entries, complete with author details, upload dates, views, and status.
Use mass actions to manage multiple entries, filter options to find specific listings, and control the duration each entry stays live with ‘Times of Emission’.
Need to pause a promotion? Just deactivate it without deleting.
This gives you unmatched flexibility and control, ensuring your directory runs smoothly and efficiently.
So there you have it!
With 4media’s Business Directory, you’re not just adding a feature – you’re creating a dynamic space for local businesses to thrive while boosting your site’s revenue.
