We are all in our homes and we are keeping our distance from friends, due to COVID-19, it’s no secret that we’re spending more time than ever on our computers and cell phones. There are few business that would probably come out strong from this. Businesses that would survive the pandemic, are only those with websites and those with an online presence. Trust me, everything has changed, just in a space of 2/3 months.

Whoever thought that schools would be online, that is the craziest thing I would have thought, if you had told me that in January. I would have probably believed that universities and post graduate programs would go online, but not elementary schools or secondary/high schools. People now hold meetings online, through zoom, google meet, etc. its really crazy.

Digital reliance is at a high level. And now more than ever, it is important that you as a business owner match this demand with a website that’s relevant and easy to navigate.

Your Only Source of Brand Representation

We all already know that the trend for consumerism these past few years has increasingly been dominated by online shopping. While a strong online presence was simply a major plus in those coveted pre-Covid days, it is now a dire necessity.

As a digital storefront is currently all most cities and businesses can offer, your website is most likely your sole source of brand representation, making it a key component in the survival of your business during these difficult times.

As many of our businesses remained closed for the foreseeable future, it is incredibly important to know that the internet will forever remain open. Just because shoppers are no longer able to walk into your store to make a purchase, it doesn’t mean that they’ve stopped shopping; they’ve simply found a new way to do so.

Accepting The Shift and Moving With It

Not only is the importance of having a website increasing, the amount of consumers searching for products online are as well.

Despite some being in a position where they’re able to drive to a store and make a purchase, many if not most people are opting for the safer option of ordering online.

So, whether or not your cities are mandating closures of non-essential business, consumerism in general is being driven globally towards a digital platform and away from an in-person purchase.

Essentially, if you’re not already online and catering to the overwhelming size of the current digital population, it’s time you hop on board.

Even if COVID-19 hasn’t affected your brick and mortar business personally, it will in the future as its drastic effect on consumerism continues to add a heavy favor to the already expanding platform of online businesses.
