In response to lost revenues by our local makers, artists, and small businesses, STA Marketplace has launched an e-commerce platform to support those most affected in these unprecedented times. STA Marketplace is encouraging everyone to forget the big corporate online resources. “In STA, we Live Local and we Buy Local. We support our community weekly at farmers markets, at festivals, in restaurants and around town. STA Marketplace refuses to let these beautiful resources die,” said STA Marketplace founder Monika Bernthal.
STA Marketplace created the online store to enable local businesses to continue to sell their products and help recoup their losses from cancelled events and markets as well as store closures. All local businesses are invited to list their products for free and are paid weekly for items sold.
By shopping local online at STA Marketplace, the community can help keep talented locals in business. “I want all of our local businesses to know that St. Augustine and St. Johns County appreciate them. Our culture would never be the same without them and we will remain behind them 100%,” said Bernthal.
A full-service marketing and PR company, STA Marketplace provides a year-round marketing platform for individuals, businesses, restaurants, and organizations who create local products, provide local services, and stand behind worthy local causes. STA Marketplace’s mission is to make marketing accessible to all and encourage everyone to Live Local, Buy Local.
