The partnership is about promoting the discussion and marketing around shopping or buying local, said Chamber of Commerce CEO Rory Ring.
The Chamber of Commerce promoted Algoma Marketplace through its membership services, urging businesses to use the free sign up to market their products, services, food or curbside pick-up services and keep the economy flowing with local spending. Basic selling fees including a transaction fee and payment processing fee are charged with each sale.
