As Covid continues to put a shadow over our business trading, are high street retailers prepared to fully embrace tech and sell their ppproducts 24/7 online?

Online trading eliminating the risk of lost sales during lockdowns and restrictions on customer numbers.

Online sales were the “one saving grace to retailers” last month as retail sales fell sharply taking analysts by surprise.

08/06/2021

It's great to see the high streets open again, however some shoppers are still preferring to avoid close contact and shop online. Whilst I am a touchy feely kind of girl, I do love an evening spent browsing online, whether it's clothes, shoes, beauty or family gift ideas... did I mention I love shopping!

Anyway, back to my point, if you're not online, how can I find you? Ask yourself the following:

⚠️Is your business losing out on online sales?

⚠️Is your website old and clunky or do you not offer online orders?

If you answered yes to any of the above, perhaps we need to have a chat! Call me on 07723 388872 when you take your next coffee break... btw, I love coffee too!! ☕😆

Have a great evening!

Is your website mobile friendly?

When a client searches on Google, the list that pops up is a selection of paid or websites that match the criteria (SEO) to the best terms. However, this is changing from March 2021.

Googles initial plan was to enable mobile-first indexing for all sites in Search in September 2020. Meaning, if a website is not mobile optimised, it will be further down the search list. However, Google have realised that in these uncertain times, things are being put at the bottom of the pile to just stay on top of daily work tasks, therefore they have decided to extend the time-frame to the end of March 2021.

From March 2021, Google will be switching their search over to mobile-first indexing.

You can check if your website is mobile friendly by clicking here and entering your web address, it's the official Google test!

If your website is not mobile compliant, or perhaps it's so old you can't even read the text on a mobile without zooming in, then you need to take action now and be prepared for Google in 2021.

For years we have been recommending clients, who have high street stores to embrace technology and launch an e-commerce website. A common answer was "No, we have a great loyal following locally" or "We can't handle online sales" etc etc.

However, during lockdown this proved to be even more relevant issue, as locals frantically messaged retailers wanting to support them and buy online. Whilst some managed to take orders and deliver a few, the opportunity was lost in lot of cases.

Running an e-commerce store is simple if you give it the correct time and initial planning it requires. One of our customers Cecilia Quinn has skipped through the lockdown with a stronger following and more loyal clients in toe (excuse the pun!). The technology that can link your stock management to your accounting software makes running your online shop a breeze!

Whilst we all need to support our local high streets, we can't deny the fact that online shopping for products and services has become the norm for some consumers.

With this change in the way consumers now purchase, it's worth taking time to look at your businesses online strategy.

If you sell product, an e-commerce website is key to filling the void period whilst people get back to normal, or should we say "The New Normal".

If you have a service based business then a website is also key, to offer bookable services etc.

Like so many other digital trends, has accelerated from an emerging opportunity to a necessity due to the pandemic. Even after restrictions relax, consumers will likely remain wary of physical shopping, making e-commerce a key tactic marketers may adjust toward for the long haul.

Companies that were already building up their e-commerce are experiencing a windfall from the current online shopping boom. E-commerce sales rose by up to 74% in Q1 2020 — explosive growth mirrored in the quarterly results of rivals like Amazon.

Facebook and Google have quickly rolled out new e-commerce features and services for merchants, which were on the rise prior to the pandemic but have now become a central focus. For brands, these tools can help with the sometimes bumpy transition to a full virtual marketplace. At the same time, standing out will become more difficult on an increasingly crowded channel, and a seamless experience will be critical to maintaining customer loyalty.

E-commerce is a rapidly evolving space, but retailer stories serve as a reference point for what's becoming one of the foundational business trends of the COVID-19 era.

If you are struggling to find your way in the e-commerce world or social platform shopping, contact us for more details and we will gladly point you in the right direction!
