Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute has launched the Alaska Seafood Online Marketplace, a new web-based directory designed to connect global buyers and suppliers. As the number of seafood purchases taking place online continues to grow, the Marketplace will provide opportunities for Alaska seafood businesses to showcase products to seafood purchasers.
The Marketplace takes the place of ASMI’s former Suppliers Directory and includes new features to better serve users. The platform allows businesses to create custom company profiles, list products and share product specifications.
Consumers and seafood buyers can search the Marketplace by species, sales region and even contact suppliers directly within the platform. Buyers looking for specific seafood items can also create an account to post specific product needs or purchase requests. The new “For Consumers” section simplifies the search process by providing quick access to companies that direct ship seafood to individuals.
