About BuyUSAFirst^™

Founded with heart and purpose, BuyUSAFirst™ emerged from our passion for supporting local and USA-made products. Our journey began years ago, motivated by a simple yet powerful observation during the pandemic: local suppliers had essential products in stock, yet lacked effective ways to reach the community. This gap, unfortunately, led to unnecessary shortages and hardships for many small businesses.

As the world recovers and supply chains heal, we've noticed a concerning trend. Big corporations and monopolies, some of which are our competitors, are dominating the market. They're squeezing out small businesses, hiking prices, and shifting production overseas. Meanwhile, traditional marketplaces are straying from their roots, allowing mass-produced overseas goods to overshadow the creations of USA-based artisans.

We aim to change that by providing a friendly, trustworthy marketplace for your local and USA-made products, and a platform for local businesses to promote themselves.

We're offering a warm, reliable marketplace dedicated strictly to local and USA-made products. This platform isn't just a business venture; it's a community-driven initiative born from discussions with local business owners, friends, and family about uplifting small-town enterprises. These businesses are the lifeblood of their communities, and we believe we can make a positive impact locally, around the country!

Originally, our mission was to improve product transportation in rural areas, focusing on local goods like meat and poultry. However, we quickly realized the broader need for a space where local businesses could thrive online. We've seen firsthand the challenges small businesses face in maintaining online presences and accessing local talent. BuyUSAFirst™ is our answer to these challenges - a platform that simplifies online promotion and sales for local businesses.

The upcoming launch of our new software is just around the corner, and we're eager to showcase your collection of USA-made products. This marketplace is designed to support local businesses and foster greater appreciation for goods made with quality and care in the USA. Keep an eye out for our launch — we're excited to share this journey with you!
