The project
“I’m looking for a reliable electrician… would you have anyone to recommend?”
“Yes, I know someone good — let me find their contact details and send them over.”
“And you, would you know a good fitness coach? I really need to get back in shape…”
Conversations like these — we’ve all had them.
In Saint-Martin, word of mouth works well. But beyond this informal network, there is no simple, comprehensive and regularly updated resource that makes it easy to quickly find the right professional when the need arises.
And yet the island is overflowing with talent: hundreds of craftspeople, service providers, producers and creators work here every day. They actually make up the majority of businesses registered at the Chamber of Commerce.
That observation is what gave rise to the Trouve Ton Pro à Saint-Martin platform.
Its goal is simple: to make it easier for local professionals and the people or businesses looking for their services to find one another, while showcasing local know-how and encouraging the use of the skills already present on the island.
The origin of the project
I’m Valérie Daizey, a professional journalist who has lived in Saint-Martin for over 25 years. With this project, I wanted to create a useful, practical, local tool that increases the visibility of the island’s professionals and makes it easier for them to connect with private clients and businesses.
Trouve Ton Pro à Saint-Martin is a simple tool to find better, get noticed better and keep the local economy thriving!
