JuniperMarket is committed to increasing access to women-owned businesses with nearly 150 brands from the recently acquired Dough Collective confirmed to start selling on the newly launched B2B digital marketplace powered by International Market Centers (IMC).

“JuniperMarket is moving rapidly from women-owned content to women-owned commerce,” said Vanessa Bruce, vice president of social impact for IMC. “We already have converted 15% of Dough’s 1,000 women-owned sellers to JuniperMarket and are in discussion with hundreds more.”

Dough Brands Transition

Longtime Dough brands are embracing the transition to JuniperMarket because of their confidence in the platform and Bruce’s advocacy for values-based commerce. Kalyn Johnson Chandler of Effie’s Paper, a Dough brand confirmed and onboarding to JuniperMarket, said “When I saw the announcement in January, that not only Dough was acquired but also that Vanessa was joining the team to advocate for women-owned businesses, I signed right away. I told my team, ‘This is a platform we need to be on.’ That’s the trust I have in Dough.”

To expedite the transition of Dough sellers to JuniperMarket, IMC is investing in both staffing and technology resources. New staff, dedicated to onboarding of Dough brands, are smoothing the onboarding process and technological enhancements are speeding data transfers. Additionally, while more robust values-based filtering is in development, Bruce and her team are actively identifying and vetting existing women-owned businesses currently live within IMC’s digital and physical marketplaces.

“Juniper is committed to combining customer service and technology to get values-based brands in front of the right buyers,” said Bill Furlong, Juniper CEO. “As mission-driven products grow in importance to consumers, we are taking steps to provide our buyers and sellers with tools that facilitate connections and commerce.”

Women-owned Businesses

The onboarding of the Dough brands is just one step in IMC’s plans to highlight women-owned brands. Follow JuniperMarket’s successful promotion of such resources during Women’s History Month in March, and onboarding of new women-owned businesses in April, IMC also will introduce the first of many values-based product showcases at its coming physical markets. This summer, pop-up exhibits featuring select women-owned brands and their principals will be showcased within the temporary exhibits at IMC’s Atlanta Market (July 12-18) and Las Vegas Market (July 24-28).
