In early June, the new Signé Local marketplace was launched. It is with great pride that Vanessa and Maxime, the co-founders of Signé Local, announced this innovative project to the guests and the media.
Vanessa Lachance, co-founder of Signé Local, accompanied by Vanessa Pilon, ambassador of Signé Local, explained that Signé Local was becoming a "marketplace", an online market where it is possible to buy products made in Quebec without delivery costs. At the launch, 500 products were already available!
A marketplace? “A marketplace is like a Quebec Amazon. If ever I need to have, I don't know, an accessory, a home product, beauty product, whatever; I can go and do a search and buy online, and then the craftsmen, those who produce the item I'm going to buy, will be able to deliver it to me without delivery costs, ”added Vanessa Pilon.
In short, in a single shopping cart, a single transaction, everything is settled. All that remains is to receive the products via the various companies!
"So it's really becoming the biggest de facto platform in Quebec, that's the difference!" – Vanessa Pilon

Now that the principle is clear, I want to give you the reasons why I believe that this Espace Marché, as we like to Frenchify it, is worth the detour:
1. Make group purchases = 1 single invoice = responsible consumption
I've been waiting for the marketplace to open for 2 weeks to finally buy the products I need, with just one click. Because a single bill also means consuming responsibly. Be honest, how many of you have removed one or two items from your shopping cart after seeing the invoice? Slightly less useful items that you were going to buy on a whim?
At Signé Local, we launch crazy projects, we promote local businesses, and by the same token, we promote slow made and responsible consumption. Group purchases fall into this line.
2. No delivery costs
Because the first obstacle for any online shopper is delivery costs. When my bill goes from $45 to $75 because of taxes and delivery charges, I don't want to pull out my card. It is already done in Europe, among others, noted the two co-founders, Maxime and Vanessa, during a business trip. So they decided to go ahead with this tempting offer for buyers!
3. Explore local businesses
The market space is a group of several companies from different sectors: children, fashion, home, sport, men, care and beauty, art, food, etc. These are beard oils and shaving brushes for gentlemen, small ecological and evolutionary clothes for children and dresses for ladies, bedding and shelves , sets of popcorn seasonings … Go and lose yourself a little to discover more than 700 products!
Vanessa Pilon explained it well, when we shop online, we go to the shops we know and it is difficult to make discoveries there, because the same products come back from one shop to another. The Signé Local market space is open to all its members, so any company that offers quality local products is welcome!
4. Participate in an innovative and rewarding project for Quebec, Quebec businesses, Quebec products and Quebec workers
This market space is quite innovative in terms of quality Quebec products. Signé Local affixes its seal to member companies so that they respect the basic criterion which is to produce locally. We know these marketplaces already well established on the web. Our marketplace is distinguished by its 100% Quebec offer, of quality and without delivery costs!
5. A quality space presented by a dedicated team
I cannot overlook the dedication of the entrepreneurs and artisans behind the member companies, but also that of the entire Signé Local team of which they are a part. Because for the marketplace, thousands of hours and drops of sweat have been donated, sometimes voluntarily.
They are motivated collaborators and in love with the "made in Quebec", a programmer always available, a caring and true ambassador and two human and passionate co-founders. We are listening to each other, but also listening to you.

We sincerely wish to offer you a quality space that will make you discover Quebec differently: through its quality, its passion, its talent and its uniqueness.
This way, the 100% Quebec experience!
