4 Ways to Boost Your eCommerce Business
Sourced from IOL. South Africa’s eCommerce industry is booming as a result of retailers who were constrained from operating normally due to lockdown and safety restrictions. Now, with lockdown restrictions easing, the temptation is to throttle back on online efforts and go back to the ways of old. That would be a big mistake, believes Warrick Kernes, founder of the Insaka eCommerce Academy. “Previously the challenge with building an online store was creating a website and taking payments online or delivering a parcel overnight.
