Signé Local has already launched the first version of its Marketplace – a 100% Quebec showcase showcasing hundreds of locally made products. This week, we're taking things to the next level with a crowdfunding campaign on La Ruche . Here's a quick summary of why this step is essential.
Modernize to become the local alternative to web giants
Our ambition is to equip the Marketplace with cutting-edge technology, accompanied by an intuitive mobile application. This shift will allow us to offer a seamless and fast shopping experience, comparable to that of major international platforms, while preserving the authenticity and proximity that make local shopping so powerful. For merchants, integration will be simplified, whether or not they use Shopify; for consumers, buying local will literally become child's play.
Responding to an unprecedented craze
The recent closure of Amazon's warehouses in Quebec has intensified interest in local solutions. Since the launch of our first version, more than 600 companies have expressed their desire to join the platform, while the media has enthusiastically covered the initiative. This context confirms that there is strong demand for a credible Quebec alternative, capable of supporting the local economy while meeting the expectations of modern consumers.
Realizing the next phase of growth
The funds raised will be used to optimize the existing platform to accommodate a greater number of merchants, develop the mobile application, and deploy marketing tools to increase our partners' visibility. They will also expand our support team to support Quebec SMEs in an often uncertain economic environment.
How you can help
By visiting our page on La Ruche and choosing the reward that suits you—whether it's a bonus gift card, shipping credits, or a corporate box—you're directly contributing to building an ecosystem that promotes local products.
Together, let's make buying local a reflex and build the Quebec version of Amazon, shaped by and for the community!
