This holiday season might look different, but shopping locally has never been easier thanks to many retailers now offering goods online. But what about the extra small shops that have a hard time balancing a robust website with a physical location?
Enter ShopYourMainstreet.com. This newly launched website makes it easy for retailers to sign-up and feature products and for locals to shop directly from the comfort of home.
The website recently launched in Oakland County and features more than a dozen stores that make it easy to buy local with the click of a button. With Christmas just around the corner, I love that many of the shops offer not only shipping, but also curbside pickup and even delivery!
Check out this promotional video to learn how it works:

Happy last-minute shopping! Hope you make it as local as possible this season!
I’m so glad you shared this! Supporting local businesses is so important – this year especially. I wanted a way to shop locally, but can’t shop in person so I shopped online on Shopyourmainstreet.com like you suggested. It was super easy, felt good to shop with my favs and it was actually fun! I purchased online then headed downtown to pick up my gifts. These local businesses had it down to a science! Everything was pre-wrapped and walked to my car so I could deliver them immediately to my friends and family. I checked everyone off on my list in one afternoon and felt like a modern day Santa Claus!
Love this so much! Glad to hear you had a great experience shopping 🙂 I can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store for this marketplace…It makes it so easy to buy local!
