Carousell to onboard over 2,500 local hawkers and small businesses onto its online marketplace – here’s how to register

Carousell announces the launch of its #SupportLocal campaign to aid local business owners whose operations have been disrupted by COVID-19.

The initiative aims to support both small food and beverage (F&B) establishments and small and medium enterprise (SME) owners. With increased social distancing measures being enforced, local F&B owners have seen a plunge in business and need to adapt to keep their businesses afloat.

The first phase of the initiative, ‘#SupportLocal F&Bs’, rallies Singaporeans to support the smaller F&B establishments and hawkers in their neighbourhood.

In partnership with Unilever Food Solutions, Carousell will be onboarding over 2,500 F&B businesses onto the newly created Local F&B category on its platform. The onboarding process will ensure that business owners who have not had prior experience with online operations are still able to list on Carousell for increased visibility.

With Carousell listings, F&B owners will be able to provide on-demand takeaway services without having to pay a premium or commission to external vendors, and Carousellers will be able to conveniently and directly support the local F&B establishments near them.

Interested F&B outlets may list on Carousell following these simple guidelines:

Apart from supporting the F&B industry, Carousell is also aiding local SMEs who have been impacted by COVID-19.

In the second phase of the initiative, Carousell will be providing eligible SMEs with a business grant that entitles them to 3 months’ worth of premium services on Carousell, including a CarouBiz (Carousell for Business) subscription.

The subscription service provides a suite of premium seller tools for retailers to gain more exposure to buyers during this crucial period and expand their business on Carousell.
