Support small women-led Australian businesses
While we all agree it’s been an incredibly tough year, small businesses have been hit especially hard.
In addition, we know women have been worse affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Women in small business need your support more than ever. True to the Global Sisters ethos however, it’s all about helping women to help themselves.
The women in the Global Sisters Community have already done the hard yards in setting up and establishing their own small businesses.
Now, there are many great ways for you to create some real impact by sending some of your hard-earned Christmas shopping dollars their way!
Support Australian women – rural, regional, remote and urban First drought, then bushfires, and then the pandemic. Life in Australia has been challenging for many irrespective of where they live.
Australians are incredible survivors though, and in these tough times, women all over our beautiful country are turning income generating ideas into profitable and sustainable business with the support of Global Sisters.
From regions right across Australia, women of diversity, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women young and older … Shopping in the Global Sisters Marketplace is a fast, easy and convenient way to give many Australian women, their families and communities a much-needed boost this Christmas.
A unique gift from the heart
What if you could support a great cause by buying truly high-quality, handmade products that you’d be proud to gift to your work mates, family and friends?
The majority of products in the Global Sisters Marketplace are handmade in Australia by our Sisters. They are unique, high quality, Australian made and beautiful!
If you’re looking for Christmas gifts that are a little more special than you’ll find in the big chain stores, the Global Sisters Marketplace is for you. You can read the story of the business owner you are supporting and create a connection between your gift recipient and the maker by sharing the link.
Satisfy your eco-conscience
When news of climate change and environmental havoc dominate the news every day, it’s understandable that all of us are feeling a little more mindful of our impact on the world. And that includes the impact of our purchasing dollar.
It’s hard to feel good about buying mass produced gifts that have been shipped from far-flung parts of the world, with little known about how they’ve been produced.
Global Sisters makes it easy with their new Marketplace. It’s full of products that are Australian made, in small batches, by small businesses, many using natural and raw fibres and materials with minimal processing.
From hand-dyed and woven scarves to hand-crafted jewellery, organic tea and natural homewares – sourcing authentic and ethical hand-made products and gifts has never been easier.
You can even use the search function to find sellers in your local area and you can also connect with our Sisters for custom and corporate gifting orders.
