COVID-19 has made a huge impact on the global business climate. Tough measures have been implemented and forced isolation has made it difficult for brick and mortar stores to function.
While a large number of businesses are moving online, some are still grappling to find answers. How will moving online be helpful? What would be the long-term benefits? Where to get started?
According to research, 45% of small and medium businesses don’t have a website, over 70% of businesses are transitioning to ecommerce, and 71% of businesses are trying to catch up with the rising demands of customers. On the bright side, 41% of businesses are making the most out of the pandemic by maintaining and increasing their presence online across all channels.
The fear of getting infected has made people hesitant to step out, and a large number of customers have moved to online shopping. This is a good opportunity for offline retailers to invest in growing their online presence and orchestrated an omnichannel experience. Businesses that take advantage will increase customer trust and successfully bridge the gap between offline and online experiences. A planned omnichannel strategy will be rewarded with customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty.
