Founder Profile
Founder Profile: Buying Local Online With Live.Shop.Buy CEO Joseph Anselmo
At time of publication, September 28, Live.Shop.Buy had raised $10.5KFor years now Amazon has become the 1,000 pound gorilla in the room dominating e-commerce, however if there is one thing Amazon can’t do, it’s make you feel tied to your community. At a trillion dollar market cap, it’s by all means left any sense of small town feel.
Which is why if we want to bring the local shopping experience online, a tailored solution is needed. That is where LiveShopBuy comes into play, with its e-commerce platform focused on enabling all small and local businesses to be able to sell online.
Imagine your boutique shoe store around the corner from you suddenly selling online so those pairs of shoes you wanted to buy for your sister at Christmas can now be delivered to your door just like any other gift you buy online.
The value of shopping local and giving back local is something that is very much showing up in millenial and GenZ buying behavior. LiveShopBuy has the opportunity to capitalize on this.
