To help BC small business owners as they continue to face the impacts of COVID-19, Small Business BC has launched the BC Marketplace, a digital platform featuring small businesses across the province.
It aims to simplify the “shop local” experience by making it easy to discover small businesses.
At the same time, the marketplace offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to increase their visibility.
“Small businesses continue to be hit hard by the impacts of COVID-19, so we are doing everything we can to support them,” said Tom Conway, CEO of Small Business BC.
“We want to showcase BC entrepreneurs and encourage the public to buy local, especially during the holiday season. The BC Marketplace connects shoppers with products and services, while helping business owners discover customers who want to support the BC economy.”
The Marketplace allows entrepreneurs in every industry to upload their business information and product images, as well as offer special promotions.
For businesses with a website, the BC Marketplace will provide relevant site links, helping to boost online presence.
For businesses not currently online, the BC Marketplace offers space to create a digital footprint, making it easier for customers to discover them.
The BC Marketplace also highlights regional markets, including the Northern Marketplace, dedicated to helping local residents discover the diversity of small businesses, right in their backyard.
