GROW Nebraska continuously tells our business members to update and improve their websites … so that is exactly what GROW Nebraska did with BuyNebraska.com. In addition, GROW Nebraska recently hired Erin Malzer to be the Director of eCommerce. Her first mission was to get our members on Walmart.com and give BuyNebraska.com a new improved look.
“I am happy to be back working for GROW Nebraska, and in my first 90 days we have accomplished a lot. We are excited to continue to meet our mission of connecting Nebraska entrepreneurs to the global marketplace,” stated Erin, GROW Nebraska’s Director of eCommerce. “Our members have more products than ever before, so we knew it was time for GROW Nebraska to update our website to better display all the amazing products available. The changes make the website more user-friendly, with the products separated into easy-to-find categories,” said Erin.
Another new feature for the site is the Gift Basket page. We have themed pre-made gift baskets with different products at different price points. These baskets are great for raffles, office gifts, and more. Don’t see one that fits a specific theme? Let us help! Tell us what products you are looking for, the budget, and number of items, and our team will do the rest. We will construct the basket to your liking and ship it in time for any event. Custom baskets can also include special notes and/or corporate logos.
The best part of purchasing your gifts from BuyNebraska.com is that you will be supporting all Nebraska small business owners! All our products are the result of the hard work and dedication of hundreds of Nebraskans trying to fulfill their entrepreneurial dream. Not only does your support help them support their family, but these business owners create jobs for other Nebraskans and bring much-needed money and services to our great state.
Visit the Our Entrepreneurs page to learn more about the dreamers whose products fill our shelves. Each GROW Nebraska member has a page featuring their products and stories.
GROW Nebraska has also signed a new deal with Walmart Marketplace to introduce our products to Walmart shoppers across the country. In the coming months, select businesses will have their products loaded onto the Walmart.com. We hope this new venture will help small businesses grow beyond the state’s borders and reach new customers.
