To take advantage of online business opportunities, you don’t have to run your entire company over the internet. Small businesses may just require an email or social account to connect online with their clients, customers, and suppliers. Other companies may use their website to handle all of their operations online.

The following are just a few of the numerous advantages of doing business online:

  • 4.8 billion potential customers worldwide,
  • Improved customer service through greater flexibility
  • Operation cost savings
  • Faster product delivery
  • Less paper waste
  • Chances to run your business from anywhere in the globe – Which is my favourite of them all!

During the Covid-19 Period, customers may prefer to visit your website to find out about your products and services, instead of visiting you in person. Covid-19 has increased online sales in the last financial year. Almost 50% of Australian online retailers have shown an increase in revenue since the start of the pandemic. Meanwhile, the brick and motor stores are struggling to keep their doors open. While it may not be the best time to start a new business, perhaps there is an opportunity in this crisis and if you see it, you can get ahead of your competition – that is the power of the online business. 

Here is an article by Monash university explaining how Coivd-19 affected business revenues in the last few years.
