What is TheSocialMarket?

TheSocialMarket.eu is an innovative marketplace platform, representing a co-network of social enterprises with opportunities to share resources and exchange of information between different actors in the social economy, incl. disadvantaged people in the labor market, employed in social enterprises and in institutions and organizations related to social entrepreneurship.

The innovative element of the platform is marketplace, with the following highlights:

  • Any social enterprise can set up an online store on the platform for free, with a few clicks, where all stores and products will be presented in one place. An entrepreneur can completely manage the online store and its products independently of other users. We plan to train social managers to work with the platform and provide operational support all the time.
  • Through the tools created in the platform, all registered social enterprises from Bulgaria and different countries can effectively interact by sharing the resources they have for the purpose of better social interaction. Entrepreneurs will be able to create joint business projects and partnerships. For example, a social enterprise from Bulgaria or another country may publish on the platform a business initiative and seek a shared resource from another participant in the platform. This will improve social interaction between participants in the social economy.
  • Every social entrepreneur has an account that shows all his “assets”, including some of the main ones:
    * its online store (with all modern functionality) and products and services offered there, with the possibility of direct shopping;
    * the interest groups he created, forums on various topics, with the possibility of exchanging messages and comments, “friendships” with other social entrepreneurs and all his activity on the platform;
    * events planned and conducted by him for which potential participants will be able to register;
    * jobs announced by the social enterprise, where those interested will be able to apply for a job directly;
  • A partner network will be developed on the basis of the Platform, and, in addition, a blog with useful materials and articles for social enterprises has been created for the needs of the “network”. This will allow the platform users (network members) to exchange commercial and production information, find partners for developing a solidarity economy. At the same time, all stakeholders will be able to establish contacts with similar organizations through the platform and the affiliate network to develop successful joint partnerships.

Who can create their own online store at TheSocialMarket.eu?

You need to be a social entrepreneur to open an online store on the platform. A social enterprise is an operator in the social economy whose main purpose is to achieve social impact, not to generate profits for the benefit of owners or shareholders. It operates in the market by providing goods and services to the market and uses profits mainly to achieve social goals. It is managed in a responsible and transparent manner, in particular through the involvement of employees, customers and stakeholders affected by its business activities.

If you are not a social entrepreneur, you can sign up and take advantage of all the other benefits of the platform – get to know our social entrepreneurs and interact with them directly here, shop socially, see our entrepreneurs’ events and more, because TheSocialMarket is not just an online store, but a social community – a place where social enterprises and social economy people get together, sell, buy, communicate and do so with a social cause!
