Buy Australian-made Products and Support Female-Owned Businesses with Global Sisters Marketplace

‍

‍

After what has been a very difficult year for so many people, more Australians are focusing on shopping local and giving back to the community. For those of us who chose to make ethical choices this Christmas and New year and support Australian small, female-owned, and local businesses, the Global Sisters Marketplace makes this easier than ever.

‍

Why Buy From Female-Owned Businesses?

‍

In addition to the impact on the environment, families, and global economy, a year of bushfires and Covid-19 has created what is known as the ‘Pink Recession’. This is the financial crisis that impacts women, specifically women from urban and rural areas across Australia. These women, mostly of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, may have lost their homes in the fires, or may have lost their business marketplace due to the closure of borders, and therefore lack of tourism to support their sales.

‍

To get that feel-good factor this christmas and surprise your friends and family with gorgeous gifts, whilst at the same time supporting communities who need it the most, shop on Global Sisters Marketplace. Global Sisters Marketplace is a fast, easy and convenient way to give Australian businesswomen, their families and communities a much needed boost this Christmas.

‍

Who Are Global Sisters Marketplace?

‍

With four values - women-led, eco-conscious, kind to animals and community-minded, Global Sisters Marketplace is a company with passion and purpose. This online marketplace already has over 1000 difference products and services from over 100 female-led businesses and these brands are growing every day.
