Local As Can BE(E) – is an online marketplace dedicated to local retail brick and mortar businesses. Local As Can BE(E) offers marketing and advertising services for businesses to sell goods and/or services online. Independent stores will create packages that can be sold, shipped, and distributed from the LACB warehouse or services that can be done virtually. Our membership includes marketing, advertising, and distribution services (annual membership). Currently, it is very difficult for small businesses to invest time and people power into an online presence and create distribution systems in order to compete in a COVID marketplace. This plan will enable businesses to compete globally online and make up for lost revenues. This will enable them to have a better chance to keep their physical stores open and employees hired. Small businesses are the backbone of the country, and we’re here to provide crucial support for all the businesses that have been devastated by the pandemic.
