How much good can one company do in the world?  We hope to find out.

Introducing socialized shopping—an idea that sprouted from the convergence of Social Media, Search Optimization and eCommerce.  Three strategies that are valuable to an organization of any size, but our platform exclusively serves small business owners and emerging entrepreneurs.

Why?  Because every town has a main street.  Competing online is now part of thriving, surviving and economic recovery.  And…

• Handmade represents the new manufacturing base
• Neighborhood shops on city boulevards represent risk taking innovation and urban growth
• Local service providers represent can-do character and the individuality that can rise above commodity

PublicMarketspace is more than a company; it is a cause.  Our vision is facilitating a marketspace where people can buy from any local merchant, anywhere in the world.  We only charge what we need to run our business and give back to the community.  The $20 annual registration / listing fee pays for support and the vetting process.  And the 3.5% resale fee is the minimum we can charge to cover transactional expenses.

We are not another business selling products on the web.  We built a custom multi-tenant cart for “one transaction” buyers assurance, and designed a gathering place to help our Vendors sell products and promote their services as cost effectively as possible—whether your small business is looking to prove a concept, looking for another sales channel, or needs to differentiate with interactive advertising.

Please take a moment to JOIN as a Public Marketspace Member, and show your willingness to support small businesses everywhere.

Thank you!

The PM Team

Small business has been called the backbone of economy, and the spirit of entrepreneurship is worldwide—in every community and every neighborhood.

When Big Business moved out to the freeway exits it devastated Main Street. Now big business is gobbling up online real estate and making it difficult for entrepreneurs to compete there too.

Now imagine buying directly from a local business anywhere in the world. If the future world market will be driven by the connectivity of the Internet, then Public Marketspace will be the online channel to buy from local vendors anywhere. Making it virtually possible for small business to compete everywhere.

What a wonderful world that could be!
