Realize Bradenton Launches Made in Manatee Marketplace

The Giving Coast

Realize Bradenton, a nonprofit organization that builds community and promotes economic prosperity, has launched a new online marketplace for Bradenton Market vendors and Downtown Bradenton businesses to come together to sell products and services. Made in Manatee provides these small businesses the opportunity to expand their reach, and makes it easy to promote and buy online.

The Made in Manatee marketplace was created to connect the community with local businesses, strengthen business resiliency online, and cultivate the local economy. By shopping locally online, customers can meet and support Manatee businesses more frequently and conveniently, from the comfort of home, find businesses on the site they may not know about yet, or connect with businesses they’ve always wanted to try.

"Realize Bradenton strives to support and promote the incredible artists and entrepreneurs we have in Manatee County. The Made in Manatee online shop allows us to showcase these small businesses by providing a platform to easily share their products and talents," says Karen Corbin, Executive Director of Realize Bradenton.

Local businesses have been building their Made in Manatee storefronts for holiday shopping. New shops and products will continue to be added so customers are encouraged to check back frequently to see all that Made in Manatee has to offer. The current list of available categories to shop include apparel and accessories, art, books, food and beverage, health and wellness, home and garden, pet supplies and toys and games.

Every purchase made through the marketplace offers an opportunity to make a difference in the economy and keep money in the county. Plus, shoppers can enjoy the convenience of choosing from a variety of offerings all in one place and purchase items tat can be picked up or shipped--right on time for the holidays!
