Turning demand for eCommerce into long-term success

Over the last few months, people have turned to online shopping as they remain stuck at home. This has led to many eCommerce businesses struggling to cope with surges in demand, while those with no web presence have virtually lost out on regular business altogether.

Online shopping habits hit fast-forward

The use of eCommerce was already growing before the pandemic, even threatening the existence of physical high street stores in certain areas. Under normal circumstances, online shopping volumes were expected to rise gradually, eventually dominating the market. However, lockdown conditions have accelerated eCommerce growth and made it harder for businesses to operate without at least some form of online transaction.

Businesses with little or no online presence have had to act fast in order to keep sales up in the absence of retail outlets and trade shows. But expanding your eCommerce offering shouldn’t just be a temporary sticking plaster. It’s important to focus on your business’ goals for the long-term to ensure you stay relevant and accessible to online shoppers.

Implementing a robust and long-lasting tech solution requires retailers, traders and merchants to make a significant investment – a difficult decision to take on the fly. However, the alternative of a quick fix may not provide the flexibility and scalability your business needs, ultimately costing you even more in the future.

Magento Commerce as a long-term investment

While it may be tempting to settle for the quickest and cheapest option as a reactive response to this eCommerce boom, deciding on a more comprehensive solution like Magento can help your business to not only keep trading, but also drive further digital engagement.

Whether you operate as a small business or a larger enterprise, Magento offers an easy way to manage your online store, reach out to your customers and stay competitive in a fast-moving retail landscape. The Magento platform includes a range of user-friendly tools for eCommerce managers, whilst its behind-the-scenes architecture provides flawless performance to keep your mind free of unexpected technical bugs.

Those businesses ready to make a long-term investment in their eCommerce system can greatly benefit from using Magento Commerce. But implementing the system in the first place will require professional development support to ensure everything is set up and delivered effectively. This is where Klova comes in.
