WE ARE A MOVEMENT FOR SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS!

As small business owners, we like to support other small businesses. When we shop, we want to find local businesses, but aren't always sure what we are looking for, or what our options are. Once we started searching online, we were overwhelmed. We wanted to look for ideas, not recommendations on the next big gadget from big corporations. Searching online tends to cater to larger companies, or businesses with a large advertising budget.

That's when we decided we need an online place to find all small businesses. A central location for anyone who wants to shop small and find local shops and sellers for those unique items they can only find with small businesses.

The last couple of years have been hard on small businesses. Many were forced to close their doors, while larger corporate stores were allowed to operate as usual. However, according to the Small Business Administration: Small businesses make up: 99.7% of U.S. employer firms, and 98% of firms exporting goods.*

Vendors:

Signing up and listing your business with us opens your customer base to the entire internet. Even if you don't sell anything online. Even if you are a small local coffee shop, because the consumers looking for you are local to YOUR area!

Did you know 76% of people who search for something nearby on their phone visit a related business within a day? Did you know 28% of those searches result in a purchase? Did you know 70% - 80% of people research a small business before visiting or making a purchase from them? Did you know 70% of consumers consult reviews and ratings before purchasing?

Our small businesses are scattered all over the internet and social media. Some don't even have a web presence. You may be one of them. We are here to become the ONE place online where consumers who want to support small businesses and shop local can find who and what they are looking for.

We have built this website to accomplish the goal of listing all small businesses in one convenient place.

Here's what you get when you list your business with us:

• Your business is listed and searchable by different filters
• A team that works with you to maintain accurate information so consumers searching for you can easily find you
• Vendor Highlights for different categories and industries for additional exposure
• A targeted audience who is looking for exactly what you are providing
• Paid members get a direct link to your website or social media platform, so all sales made go directly to you
• Community, networking and collaboration with other small businesses
• Referral incentives
• Performance metrics on click-through traffic to your web platform

• And MUCH MORE! (We will be continuously adding other member benefits as we grow!)
