Add your business to FashionViral

Run a mall, an outlet, a boutique or a beauty store? Tell us about it. We review every request and add places that help shoppers find what they are looking for.

What a FashionViral listing gives you

  • A page of its own

    Photos, hours, the address and a map, parking and accessibility, and what visitors say, on one clear page.

  • Found by category and area

    Your place appears in the lists for its area and its kind of shopping, where shoppers browse before a trip.

  • On the web and in the apps

    Shoppers can find your place on the website and in our iOS and Android apps.

  • Fair and independent

    Listings and rankings never depend on advertising, and ratings cannot be bought.

Why list your business on FashionViral

Shoppers use FashionViral when they have already decided to go out and buy: they are choosing which mall to visit this weekend, which outlet has the brands they want or where to find an abaya, a gift or a perfume close to home. A clear page in the guide puts your business in front of them at exactly that moment.

  • Be found by shoppers browsing your category and your area, not only by those who already know your name.
  • Give visitors the practical details they look for before a trip: hours, location, parking and what is inside.
  • Stand next to the big names: independent shops get a page as complete as any mall.
  • Reach shoppers on the website and in our iOS and Android apps.

For small and independent businesses in particular, a well-presented page can make the difference between being a name someone walks past and being the shop they plan their trip around.

Who can be listed

FashionViral lists shopping places that customers can visit in person, in the countries we cover: the United Arab Emirates and the United States, with the United Kingdom coming soon. That includes:

  • Shopping malls, outlet malls and community shopping centres
  • Souqs, markets and department stores
  • Fashion, footwear, abaya and modest wear boutiques
  • Jewellery, gold and watch shops
  • Perfume, oud, cosmetics and beauty stores
  • Fabric, tailoring and accessories shops with a retail counter

Your business needs a physical location that is open to the public. Online-only shops, showrooms that only receive customers by private appointment and businesses without a fixed address are not listed for now.

What we look for

Every place in the guide goes through the same checks, whether it is a large mall or a single boutique. We look at whether:

  • the business is open and trading at the address you give us;
  • it is a genuine shopping destination, with products that customers can browse and buy on site;
  • it has a public business profile, such as a Google Maps listing, with a correct address and opening hours;
  • there are photos and visitor reviews that help shoppers form a fair picture of the place;
  • it is not a duplicate of a place that is already listed.

A new business with only a few reviews can still be added once it has enough public information for a useful page. If your request is not accepted straight away, you are welcome to send it again when your profile has more photos and reviews.

What your page includes

A listed place gets its own page with photos, opening hours, the address and a map, parking and accessibility information, a summary of what visitors say and answers to common questions. It also appears in the lists for its area and its category, and it can be linked from nearby places in the guide.

For malls and shopping centres, the page can also show the stores, restaurants and services found inside, which helps shoppers decide where to go for the brands they want. Places that stand out may also be chosen for our editor's picks or our selection of independent brands, which are decided by our team alone.

How it works

  1. Send the form below with your business name, location and contact details.

  2. We check that your business is open, is a shopping place and has a public listing with an address, such as a Google Maps profile.

  3. We may email you to confirm a detail or ask for a missing piece of information.

  4. Once it meets our criteria, your place is added the next time the guide is updated, and we let you know by email.

Adding a Google Maps link in the form makes the check faster. Places with photos and visitor reviews give shoppers the most useful pages.

Tips for a stronger listing

Most of what appears on a place page comes from your public business profiles, so keeping them complete and up to date improves your page too:

  • Keep your opening hours current, including Ramadan, public holiday and festive season hours.
  • Add clear photos of your shopfront, your interior and the products you are known for.
  • Make sure your address, phone number and website or Instagram link are correct.
  • Invite happy customers to leave reviews, and reply to reviews politely, including critical ones.
  • Tell us in the message field what makes your shop different: your specialities, brands or services.

Already listed? Claim or update your page

If your business already has a page, you can claim it so that we know who to contact about updates. Use this form or our contact page, choose to claim your business and send us a way to confirm that you own or manage it, such as an email from your business's official address, a link to its official website or social media account, or a trade licence in the business's name.

Once your claim is confirmed, you can ask us to correct your opening hours, address, phone number, photos, brands or the description of your place. If your business has closed or moved, let us know and we will update or remove the page.

Several branches or a whole mall

If you run several branches, send one request per branch, or list all the addresses in the message field. Each branch that meets our criteria gets its own page, so shoppers can find the one closest to them. Mall and shopping centre managers can also send us their store directory or a link to it, so that the list of shops inside the mall stays accurate.

Good to know

Ratings and review summaries come from shopper reviews and cannot be bought, edited or removed on request. Being listed does not depend on advertising with us, and our editor's picks cannot be bought. We may decline a request that does not match what the guide covers, and we may contact you to confirm details before a page is published. Submitting the form does not guarantee that a place will be listed. The details you send are handled as described in our privacy policy.
