Taking Local to All of New Zealand

Taking Local to All of New Zealand

Localist is excited to announce the launch of The Market, a new initiative that sees the innovation brand extending it’s promise - to empower Kiwi’s to do business how and where they want - to the creative industry.

The Market is an ecommerce store that takes the well-known and popular market setting and flips it on its head.

The new site is focused on bringing small creators into the digital realm. It establishes the perfect foundation for start-ups, acting as a launch pad for home-grown talent to get their ideas off the ground.

As a business on The Market, your creative space, the tools and people behind your product are made visible to browsing shoppers. Performing like a digital stall, The Market is a shop window to the rest of New Zealand, and in 2014 the rest of the world, to sell your product and tell your story to like-minded New Zealanders.

The Market’s General Manager, Toyah Attwell, says it is as much about the people that make the product as it is about the product itself.

“It delivers an interactive experience - giving customers a chance to engage with the creators of each product, to read their stories and ask questions before they buy. We’re taking a traditional market setting, and brining it online."

The promising site fosters the growth of New Zealand owned and operated businesses, illustrating the true value of buying local.

The website tailors to Kiwis looking to both buy and sell, and will include home ware, designer goods, artisan food and baby products from the country’s creative best.
