The Farmer Wants A Website: The Spend With Us Story | #142

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Jenn Donovan and Sarah Britz.  Jenn and Sarah are Co-founders of Spend With Us, an online shopping marketplace and directory for rural and regional small businesses of Australia who have taken a hit from bushfires, drought, and coronavirus.  Sarah, a web designer, had built a website to help bush businesses as they struggled with adversity.  Meanwhile Jenn, with her marketing background,, was growing a community with her facebook group ‘Buy From a Bush Business’.  These women joined forces and Spend With Us was born.   The marketplace showcases the rich crop of talents that operate in the bush, with over 1000 businesses listed, selling everything from fashion and art to food and drink….you can even book accommodation.  In this chat, Jenn and Sarah share how they keep on top of both sets of UX - their sellers and customers, the ingredients that go into a super successful facebook group and how all they want is to be as much of a household name as Amazon...gotta love an ambitious goal! Links from the episode:Spend With UsBuy From a Bush BusinessAm Paper ArtsRobyn Dale CreationsSoaps By CosmoSignet and Little Cocoa (sponsored)Shopify Plus and Mustard Made (sponsored)Thanks to our sponsors, Shopify and Klaviyo, for bringing you the show.Sponsor Add To Cart: https://addtocart.com.au/sponsor/ Hosted on Acast.
