It was amazing in the early days on the pandemic here in the UK how few businesses could do basic things like know what was in stock or let you pay on line. Amazon came through when I needed a bunch of what I considered essentials (fuses for my house for instance). Brick and mortar stores were useless.
- dazc 4y agoA lot of small scale UK retailers have already proven to themselves that internet retailing isn't worth the bother. I know of some who've invested huge sums of money, sometimes as much as £100, creating social media channels with up to 12 individual posts that have yielded no sales at all! There's also a dire shortage of UK developers willing to do all the work, with no retainer, based purely on a shady prospect of a share of the profits at some distant time in the future.
