A Window of Opportunity for Smaller Online Marketplaces

We live in a world where automation, speed to produce and low-cost goods are the norm. When you visit your local big-box retailer, you're guaranteed to find the same items in the same store the next state over. And the majority of the products in those big-box stores are made in China, Indonesia or Thailand. Every product looks and feels the same. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, locally sourced item, you would need to check out a nearby farmer’s market or boutique.
