Why Small & Local?
-
We’re the world’s first (and still only) online platform exclusively featuring small indie businesses to the growing number of buy-local shoppers looking to connect with them. For a more in depth description of our services, please watch this short video from when we used to be called vLife – same benefits, just under a new name!
How is Our Platform better than current solutions for buying local?
- We only feature small independent local goods and service providers – NO BIG CORPORATES.
- We keep our buy-local subscribers updated on current local offerings – no need to sift through online searches dominated by big chains.
When will Small & Local be accessible To communities outside of Nova Scotia?
- We will be quickly rolling out in other communities across Nova Scotia, then other city hubs across Canada
- Next stop – the world! We have a dream that we’ll soon be growing local economies the world over by connecting folks with genuine local experiences wherever they are. Want to help make that happen? Contact Us to help get Small & Local in your community!
What is the discount for Black and Indigenous Businesses?
-
Small & Local is a company situated on Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unseeded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. Out of consideration for Indigenous peoples and the detrimental effects of Canada’s colonial past, we take an active approach to help stop colonial chronology. As such we’re pleased to offer both Indigenous and Black small, independent business owners 20% off on all our services.
