A third of the global population is subject to stay-at-home directives by governments across the globe. This has popularized online purchases for daily essentials.
With lockdown restrictions, online sales across all verticals especially grocery and pharmaceuticals have soared up. In fact, as per the data from E-commerce Consumer Sales, there has been an average growth rate of over 250% in essential categories like Food and Beverages, Household Goods, Medical and Baby products.
As reported in Commerce Insight in March, the US online orders increased 56% and the online grocery sales for all of March were up 233% compared to the previous year. Online orders in the Asia-Pacific growth rate reached 78% and the online supermarkets in the United Kingdom surged 221%.
In this scenario, a reputed E-commerce solution provider, Quick eSelling has announced to make its ready-to-use E-commerce platform completely free to help retailers keep the supply of essential products ongoing for their customers.
“This initiative aims to help millions of people across the globe to stay safe and maintain social distance to stop the spread of COVID-19”, says the company co-founder, Shrenik Gandhi.
To encourage startups and retailers, the company has waived off the transaction fee charges until 30th June 2020.
In just less than two weeks, Quick eSelling has powered thousands of retailers to set up their online stores, through its readymade E-commerce platform. Business owners across 100 countries including the US, UK, Canada, Middle East, Southeast Asian countries, and India have signed up and are already making their first sales.
A ray of hope for conventional businesses to move online
Deserted streets and closed shops portray the financial risk that small and medium-sized businesses have witnessed in the current corona-hit economy. However, the growing share of E-commerce eating up traditional sales poses an opportunity in itself.
Even after the pandemic, the fear amidst people is here to stay until vaccines are available. This will lead the masses to follow social distancing, stay indoors, and stick to online purchases.
Another factor that adds in is convenience. Business owners, still stuck to the old school concept of running brick-and-mortars, need to consider the examples of service aggregators and those brands that thrive on the concept of convenience.
The free E-commerce platform https://www.quickeselling.com/ offering instant E-commerce website and mobile apps aims to help even a small retailer to roll out his or her online business with just a few clicks. This way, sellers can save on the listing or commission fees that would otherwise go to display their products on other marketplaces.
