Over the last few days, Queensland retailers with an established and good online presence and back end fulfilment process have been able to offer a timely pitch to existing and prospective customers. Whether for safe click and collect or delivery, having an easily shopped online presence is the key first step to trading which your shop is shut or while people are less likely to leave home or work and shop with you if you are open.
I know of newsagents who last year started on the path too getting online and as the Covid situation eased they pulled back on their plans. The thing is, online is growing, retreating because Covid became more under control was a poor decision.
Queensland retailers who are established online are seeing the benefits of that investment.
If you do not have an online presence through which people can trade with you business, make this a priority. But beware, there are plenty of shonky web development businesses and people out there. Choose wisely.
