The local market

Everything made here,in one place.

Fruit and vegetables, dishes, crafts, fashion, services, workshops, events. The market brings together what is grown, made and offered close to you. For locals, the diaspora and everyone who visits.In preparationThe “Market” view is being built in the app. Selling in your HUB shop, with pickup and payment on site, is part of the pilot.

Pre-register How everything is organised

The digital economy

No longer relying on face to face alone.

Today, many people only sell to those who walk past their stall, or who already have their number. That matters, but it is small. Being on a digital marketplace means being found by those who don’t walk past too.

Locals
They look close to home, and don’t know you exist yet.
The diaspora
They want what is made back home, and to support the people who make it.
Visitors
They want more than souvenirs made elsewhere: what is really made here.

Your storefront stays open when your stall is closed.
Your products, your hours, your place. People find you in the evening, on Sunday, from far away.
You keep your prices and your customers.
You sell with no middleman, at your price. Your customer pays you directly.
What is made here becomes visible.
Next to what comes from elsewhere, and in one place for everyone.

HUB promises neither sales nor income. It makes you visible; the rest is between you and your customers.

Finding what you need

What you need, for whom, and when.

On HUB, you search with three simple questions, the way you would ask a neighbour.

What you need
A vegetable basket, a maths lesson, a plumber, a logo.
For whom
Your children, your family, an older relative, your business, visitors.
When
Now, this weekend, these holidays.

Example“An activity for my children aged 8 and 11, during the holidays, near home.”

You don’t need 10,000 followers, or to post videos every day, to be found. You describe what you do once, and HUB shows it when someone needs it.

In preparationSearching by audience and by moment is being built with the “Market” view.

How everything is organised

Seven families, and PING everywhere.

The same organisation as in the app. Each family says honestly where it stands.

In the pilot: The feature exists and opens with the first group in Martinique.
After the pilot: It is built or being built, but not open yet.
In preparation: It is designed, and still has to be built or tested.

Can’t find what you are looking for? Say it. Your request goes to the Hubs who know how.

Ask
“I am looking for…”: a product, a service, a helping hand, equipment.
Offer
“I am offering…”: your offer of the day, a harvest, a free slot.

Replying to a PING never costs anything.

What it will look like

A clear listing: what, where, how.

Imagined listings to show you the idea. They are not real businesses.

Example
The market, Fruit and vegetables
Vegetable basket of the day
Pickup at the Saturday morning market. Pay the seller.
Example

Paying during the pilot

On site, directly to the seller.

During the pilot, you pay on site, in cash or by card, as the seller accepts. The money goes from the customer to the seller, without going through HUB.

0%HUB commission on sales and services.

And if one day you pay online?

The seller keeps 100%. If an online service ever has fees (protected payment, delivery), the buyer pays them, and they are shown before paying.

Never any fees for a purchase paid on site, a free event or a reply to a PING.
