It starts with something simple:
people nearby wanting the same thing.
Honey, farm-direct meat, fresh produce or something else the community would love.
One person puts the idea out there.
People nearby who want the same thing put their hand up.
One order becomes five, ten, twenty or more.
Individual interest becomes collective buying power.
SayCooee connects that community demand with an Australian producer or supplier who can fulfil the Community Buy.
Because individually we buy.
Together, we have buying power.
When people want the same thing, combining that demand can unlock better value and opportunities we may not have access to individually.
Buying closer to the source means knowing more about where our products come from and the people behind them, while keeping more of our everyday spending with Australian producers, makers and suppliers.
Instead of producers having to find us one household at a time, communities can come to them with meaningful demand already gathered.
A Community Buy can start with almost anything your community wants. Here are a few ideas.
