Answers

1.  What is Stikr.com?

Stikr.com is the shopping site that lists and categorizes all of the best online merchants, from the largest national department stores to the trendiest Internet boutiques, with each category displayed on a single page.  If you like to shop, you'll love shopping online with Stikr.com.  The other search engines and shopping sites only contain partial listings, are purposely designed to steer you to their advertisers, or their results are so confusing that it's almost impossible to find all of the best online merchants.

2.  Who should use Stikr.com?

Anyone who wants to shop at the best online merchants, but doesn't want to waste time trying to figure out who and where those sites are.  We at Stikr.com did all of the research for you, so you can spend your time more constructively.  We currently index over 1,300 merchants, with nearly 2,400 listings in 35 categories, and we're just getting started!

3.  How does Stikr.com decide which merchants to list?

Although we strive to list all of the best online merchants, our site selections are solely at the discretion of Stikr.com.  We pride ourselves on our ability to be fair, honest, and complete.  We know that our ultimate success will depend upon the quality and scope of our listings.

That being said, there are many factors we use to determine which merchants to list, but they must possess some or all of the following attributes:

          -  Unique selection of products or services.
          -  Superior fulfillment and customer service abilities.
          -  Effective and appealing site layout and navigation.
          -  Online knowledge base or detailed product information.
          -  Competitive product pricing and shipping terms.
          -  Online "shopping cart" for purchases directly from site.
          -  BBB, BizRate, or other consumer watchdog membership.
          -  SSL secured transactions, PCI compliancy.
          -  ScanAlert hacker-safe rating.
          -  other distinguishing "Best of Breed" characteristics.

4.  Do you only list your partners and advertisers?

Absolutely not, that would make us no different than any other shopping portal or search site.  We will always list all of the best online merchants, regardless of our affiliation, even at the expense of potential revenue.  That is the "key to our success" and how Stikr.com will distinguish itself from everyone else.

5.  Is it safe to use Stikr.com?

Stikr.com is one of the safest ways to navigate the online shopping world.  We do not collect any personal information (please see our site Privacy Policy), and you will never encounter any of the following at Stikr.com:

          -  spam
          -  pop-up windows
          -  browser plug-ins
          -  spyware
          -  adware
          -  registration or sign-in
          -  objectionable content

6.  Does Stikr.com collect any of my personal information?

Never.  Please view the Stikr.com Privacy Policy for detailed information regarding privacy and security.

7.  How did you decide on the "look" of the Stikr.com site?

We wanted our site to be clean and organized, with simple navigation tools, and we didn't want to "clutter up" the pages with unnecessary graphics or text.  Our site also had to have a unique "look and feel" with consistent colors and themes throughout.  We're very patriotic, so we decided to use the "All American" colors of red, white, and blue.  Lastly, we wanted the site to be readable on a mediacenter display.  Please let us know how you like the site layout and design.
