Choose Lebanon: A Global Platform for Lebanese Products

I would like to introduce you all to Choose Lebanon.

In these turbulent, uncertain, even hopeless times, we see Lebanese SMEs shuttering up forever after their money was confiscated to fund the corruption and nepotism of the political class. Every day, more Lebanese in Lebanon plunge under the poverty line, with nothing being done to help Lebanese men and women who are trying to survive in Lebanon and not give up and leave.

One role the diaspora can play is to support brands and companies that are operating in Lebanon by buying their products. Unfortunately, the infrastructure for a hassle-free e-commerce experience that caters exclusively to products made in Lebanon wasn’t always up to par.

Choose Lebanon is one endeavor that has already signed up over two dozen suppliers with many more in the pipeline. Apart from selling what you want to buy on their website and app, they have a couple of added features that make it even more useful.

The Personal Shopper Option

This is the feature that caught my eye on Choose Lebanon. If you miss something from home and can’t find it on their online store, you can request that a personal shopper go to the shop you need them to, purchase the product you want and ship it to you around the world.

In other words, you don’t need to wait for the supplier to get on the site, you can send someone from the Choose Lebanon team and get it for you this week!

The Suppliers Webinars

This is another feature I loved on Choose Lebanon. Not all business owners in Lebanon were planning to move their business online. However, the deteriorating economic situation in Lebanon means that fresh US dollars means that it is essential they start selling online.

Choose Lebanon is organizing webinars for business owners to help them catch up to the e-commerce world, and if you’re a business owner, you can sign up here.

Fresh Dollars for Products You Want

At no time in our history has it been more crucial to stand together, and for the Lebanese diaspora across the world, this is one way you can support small and medium enterprises in Lebanon.

You can download the Android app here as well!
