These are the beginnings of the laboutiquedesvoisins.com adventure, but they are promising for Fanny Ducamp, the director of the Voisinage association, based in Soustons and St Vincent de Tyrosse: “In-house, a lot of positive things are happening, so we are very proud of this launch. The objective of this online project, which was launched in October 2021, remains integration. The Voisinage association offers jobs to people in difficulty and allows them to discover e-commerce professions: everything related to logistics, the selection of articles, the photography of these articles put online, writing descriptions… Currently, 2 to 3 employees in the course are permanently on this activity.
An economic model to defend
Buying on laboutiquedesvoisins.com allows the association to offer jobs to people who are on the path to integration. The economic model of insertion can be weakened due to the proliferation of apps that are specialized in this second-hand sector. Apps that are simple to use and have great means of communication, but for the director of the Voisinage association, laboutiquedesvoisins.com does not play on the same ground: she is much more local, she also has an experience of 27 years. It takes, according to Fanny Ducamp, patience to gradually reach another audience. To attract it, the site regularly offers promotions of up to 50% on weekends.
