LET’S PUT MORE CANADIAN SMALL BUSINESSES ON CANADIAN SHELVES!**
We’ve been thinking a lot about what it really means to support small business.
At The Manic Maker, we’re working to get our freeze-dried treats onto the shelves of coffee shops, candy stores, gift shops and other independent businesses across Canada through our wholesale program.
But here’s the thing…
How can we ask other small businesses to make room on their shelves for us if we aren’t willing to do the same?
So we want YOUR help!
👇 TAG YOUR FAVOURITE CANADIAN SMALL BUSINESS IN THE COMMENTS!
We’re looking for makers and small businesses offering great products that we could bring into The Manic Maker.
We’re especially interested in:
Canadian-made products
📍 Ontario, Niagara & Fort Erie businesses... even better!
🍬 Local or regional candy favourites
🎁 Fun, unique, giftable products
📦 Small, non-perishable items available wholesale or in bulk
Pretty much anything is fair game except jewellery, since we have an in house artist 🧡
Tell us who they are, what they make and WHY you think we should carry them.
We won't be able to bring in everyone, We can follow them & support their journey... but our goal is to support a few Canadian small businesses at a time and keep rotating new finds onto our shelves.
And we have a challenge for other businesses too:
Do you have a couple of shelves, a counter or a little unused display space?
Fill it with products from a Canadian small business.
Imagine what could happen if coffee shops, salons, offices, service businesses, boutiques, gift shops and retailers across Canada each gave just a little shelf space to another independent Canadian business.
TAG your favourites below and SHARE this post so we can discover as many amazing Canadian small businesses as possible!
Small businesses supporting small businesses.
That’s how we all grow.
