If there’s one thing millennials and younger generations love more than exotic travel, it’s staying local.
Love for local products continues to rise steadily. The pandemic and still-growing sharing economy have given localization an extra boost too. Here's a handful of new tools for supporting your neighbors.
Food
Local: Locale connects fresh foods from local businesses together so it reaches you in one box.
“Food delivery is a really crowded space. However, small ticket items don't fit the instantaneous delivery model… Locale customers... get it all delivered in one box with a $5 delivery fee.” - Jonathan Friedland
Hyperlocal: Galora connects you with your neighbors to find homegrown goods — from eggs to cannabis.
“My backyard in LA produces a couple hundred pounds of fruit each year, and most of it spoiled... Finding a way to sell or trade this amazing food in my community was the inspiration for Galora.” - Ryan Xavier
Art
Ever eyed that art on the wall at your local cafe?
Lonely Walls lets you discover and buy work from local artists. In turn, it connects those artists with local businesses to help them create unique art exhibitions on site.
Experiences
WKND creates personalized, local weekend adventure packages for you and your friends. It starts with a Myers-Briggs-inspired personality test and ends with a “ready-to-live-and-share local weekend.”
“The car-free, workaholic and social media-driven generation find it difficult to recharge, reboot, and re-energize every weekend… We’ve been working hard over the past year to build a unique and powerful local travel platform.”- Brian Friedman
We’ve covered Auditorium before so we’ll keep it short: hyper-local, live audio performances. Boom.
It’s worth saying — we know many of these products are unique the U.S. If you’ve got an alternative (like this UK one), do the community a favor and post it!
