Whenever a local market opens in Morinville or Sturgeon County, we are there to see old and new vendors, and what they have to offer. After seeing the great attendance by vendors and the interest of the community we came to the conclusion this is something that should be available to the community everyday year round. That is when we decided to create an online marketplace for locally supplied products and services. The shopping site would allow people to search and purchase online. Then people could pick up or have products shipped locally.
The plan is aimed to support small business owners and to increase local business. The online marketplace would be the perfect opportunity for local home based or store front businesses to market and sell their products.The marketplace is a great opportunity for all local businesses to expand and grow. Many local business owners are already busy creating their products, so busy that they may not have time to attend every market in person, but they are still open for business on the online market.
The market is a shopping experience offered 24/7. The ability to have constant access to home made, home crafted, locally grown, or local services creates a more vibrant small business community. You learn more about your local businesses and what local people have to offer and their benefits. It creates a greater personal connection to your shopping decisions. As a small business you will be more available to supply the customer. The main focus is to maintain a constant interest, sales, and a positive connection with the community.
