Marketplaces Raising Income of Grass Roots Producers

PEOPLink manages a growing array of on-line marketplaces promoting items from the OpenEntry catalogs of grass roots producers all over the world.  Because the direct connection between vendors and buyers is so much more efficient than the conventional commercial or fair trade channels, participating producers receive much higher incomes.  Buyers pay the same for items they normally purchase through other channels and enjoy a more direct connection to the producers.

Many of these marketplaces offer commissions ranging from 8 to 12%  for referring buyers. >>details
