These days, with the current COVID-19 lockdowns in most parts of the world, both small local retail businesses and large corporate retail chains are seeing major drops in income and having great difficulty keeping afloat. Some business owners complain that they aren’t likely to survive if the situation continues for even a few more months.

On the other hand, some are managing the crisis better by getting creative with how they do business in these changed circumstances and, as discussed in a recent CBC News article (Shop owners frantically launch online stores to stay open during pandemic), one way to do that is to expand your business from strictly brick-and-mortar to the internet.

It has been increasingly important for several years for local small businesses to have an online presence. Now it is more important than ever.

As one business owner said in the CBC article, “Really, if you’re not online, you’re not making any money”.

This may seem like a daunting process to many small business owners, especially in a time of reduced revenues.
