The pandemic has accelerated the shift towards e-commerce, and small businesses are adapting quickly. Many have established online stores to reach a broader audience, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. E-commerce platforms like Shopify and Etsy are empowering small business owners to sell their products online with ease.
While the transition to e-commerce presents challenges, such as increased competition and the need for digital marketing skills, it also offers significant opportunities for growth. Small businesses that embrace this change can tap into new markets and expand their customer base.
"E-commerce is the future, and small businesses must adapt to survive," says e-commerce consultant Lisa White.
