KEEP YOUR BUSINESS ALIVE

during COVID-19 and beyond!

Your resilience has inspired us to use our skills to create tools to help you keep your business alive. After working countless hours pro-bono, we are proud to launch LOCALCOMMUNITY.SHOPPING. The platform is free to use and allows you to open your online store in minutes. Your online store features your own back office to manage your products, sales, payments, returns, etc. This isn't just a space or classified like on most marketplaces. You will have your own payment gateway so we will take no commissions or sales fees. When this crisis ends, our local economy rebounds, and you are doing great with your sales on the platform, then we may ask you to pay a small monthly donation, but it will be optional. We all agree that something must be done to help retailers, restaurants, and small businesses survive to ensure the sustainability of our local economy. Beside government help, we think the best solution is to give you free and modern online tools so you have a fighting chance against large online retailers, like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Alibaba, Etsy, etc. The idea is to convince 1 million local residents to shop local, but when shoppers cannot visit in-store or you are closed or at limited capacity, they can shop local online and pick up the merchandise in-store or have it delivered. We need a great and diverse online offering so please take some time and open your store, upload products, and make your store attractive (more info below). Our team is here to help you if you encounter any issues: 727-873-7371
