There is no denying that the digital era is well under way. We no longer live in a world where we educate ourselves reading the Sunday newspaper or buy the latest products on TV shopping channels, digital dominance has made it necessary for more people to rely on the internet to look for the products and services that they need.
As business’s have been forced to innovate and meet the diminished demand in the market, the percentage of business conducted online has increased by 5% alone in 2020. This ongoing trend is simply expected to intensify in 2021 as measure taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have made it almost impossible to purchase a product or service in person.
Though the pandemic has been harmful in other ways for the business, it showed people that the internet was crucial to attracting people to business and that the internet could play a huge role in consuming content for every kind of business out there.
In fact, studies show that in the US alone a third of all consumers use the internet to search for businesses and 60% of millennials now make purchases online.
To tap into these revenue streams, more businesses have expanded their online presence, playing further upward pressure on the percentage of business conducted online, 64% of small business have a website and Shopify has seen an annual growth rate of a stunning 276%.
The proliferation of smartphone applications has also enabled users to seamlessly purchase products online, aiding in this astronomical growth in e-commerce.
In short, any online business that does not adapt to the internet and effectively use this platform risks losing out on the abundance of lucrative financial opportunities available in this changing digital age.
So, what do these internet business statistics teach us? And how can you put these lessons to use as you set up, optimise, and maintain your business’s online presence?
