In a move to make buying local easier for shoppers this Christmas, and consequently drive sales for small and micro ventures, businesswoman Angelie Spencer has partnered with the National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited, NCB, and video company M-One Productions, to create a single platform that links buyers to the business page of hundreds of local entrepreneurs.
Typically, users of social media platforms would individually select business pages that match their lifestyle to follow. But Spencer’s online platform, called Shop Local JA, will instead expose users to micro and small businesses across several industries, at the click of a button.
