FAQ
For Consumers
Why do you promote buying local?
Buying local helps promote economic activities in your community, keep more money within your local community, and create a positive environment in your local community. As shown in the The San Francisco Retail Diversity Study:
"$1 million spent at independent bookstores creates $321,000 in additional economic activity in the region, including $119,000 in wages and salaries paid to local employees. That same $1 million spent at chain bookstores generates only $188,000 in local economic activity, including $71,000 in local wages and salaries."

My store already has a website, why should I add my items on Kaddoz as well?
Kaddoz can help you reach potentially wider and different consumer population and market segments, generate high quality leads compared to casual walk-in customers, and provide an additional marketing channel for you. Kaddoz directs leads and traffic to you, rather than siphoning visitors away from your website.
Will my items be lost in the millions of other items on your site?
No. First of all, Kaddoz aggregates unique product items from local small merchants. We do not list commodity items from large retail chains. Also, Kaddoz provides many features to help consumers finding their perfect products through effective search mechanism, and through allowing you providing clear descriptions, high quality images, and multiple tagging. Finally, Kaddoz also uses our proprietary item recommendation engine to suggest items that meet the users need. If you have the right product, Kaddoz will help consumers find them.
I am not familiar with computers, can I still join the Kaddoz community?
Yes. All you need is access to a computer, the internet and an email account, plus enthusiasm and a smile. Our online guide provide step by step instructions to help you through the steps. You can also contact us at ContactTheTeam@kaddoz.com for additional help.
