Do you know about the Bicentennial Marketplace?
Today the Indiana Bicentennial Commission announced its online Indiana Bicentennial Marketplace. The Marketplace is an online store where Indiana businesses and artisans can sell commemorative products that celebrate this historic year. The Marketplace is housed on the Bicentennial website.
All of the Indiana-made items are listed on the site with a picture, description, and contact information as well as a link to the seller. All purchases are made directly between the buyer and seller, the marketplace simply showcases the items. There is a comment section for shoppers, to let participating businesses know what kinds of bicentennial items they would like to see.
“The marketplace is a great way to celebrate small business owners and artists in Indiana,” Executive Director Perry Hammock said. “There’s no better way to celebrate our state than to support our own Hoosiers.”
There are more than 30 businesses from all corners of the state already part of the marketplace, and more businesses are joining every day. From bumper stickers to artwork, vendors and products range far and wide with something for everyone.
“The marketplace is going to be a great showcase of some of the amazing Hoosier artists and entrepreneurs who are keeping Indiana's small business economy interesting and thriving,” Graham Brown, owner of United State of Indiana, said. “In a year that's full of celebration of Indiana, it's vitally important to recognize small business owners, craftspeople and artisans. They are doing the best job of keeping alive values that have been cultivated in Indiana for 200 years.”
