BRADENTON, FLORIDA – Realize Bradenton has launched a new online marketplace for Bradenton Market vendors and Downtown Bradenton businesses to come together to sell products and services. Made in Manatee provides these small businesses the opportunity to expand their reach, and makes it easy to promote and buy online.

Customer interest in buying local and supporting their communities is high, but can often be time consuming to visit multiple stores to find the perfect product. A key component of Made in Manatee is that local small businesses can all sell on one website, which provides a convenient way for shoppers to find a variety of product offerings and then purchase at one checkout. This platform also offers the option to pick up items to avoid shipping costs.

Local businesses have been building their Made in Manatee storefronts for holiday shopping. New shops and products will continue to be added, customers are encouraged to check back frequently to see all that Made in Manatee has to offer.
