I feel stimulated.

Users need to feel connected. The key is to build a connection. There has to be a connection built between the hands of the early supply chain and end-consumer. There has to be a connection between what you are selling, and why someone wants to buy it, i e a meaningful purchase, a purchase evoked through the connection of a story, creating empathy and an invisible connection to this person that made a good. There has to be an interdependent connection between the items being sold, and the person they are sold to. And it's even more beneficial to walk away with connection between the bridge (salesperson, or storyteller), and the consumer (local, or buyer).
