What’s in it for me?
It has become increasingly difficult to organise physical conferences and events. However, we cannot undermine the fact that eCommerce usage has seen a significant upward surge worldwide. Businesses have had to evolve and adapt to erratic consumer behaviour. As such, it’s important for the industry experts to share their trends and best practices and for small businesses to attend these events.
Being one of the few industries that has had minimal impact and seen high growth during the pandemic, the scaling up of e-commerce will help mitigate challenges faced by other industries. It’s important for e-commerce start-ups to know how to achieve this so that they can survive during the upcoming Covid waves and help other industries, businesses survive as well.
