Coronavirus forces to keep distance, so a business that does not exist online will not exist at all soon. If you are still not represented in e-commerce, then spend the forced break to remedy this omission.

The audience is eager to buy

Yes, today’s top are essential goods. But as soon as the panic subsides, the range of audience’s interests will expand, and a new habit of online shopping, that is quick and convenient, will remain. In the meantime, consumers will search what to replace the usual ways of life. Cinemas will be replaced by streaming services, gyms will launch online training, meetings will go to Skype and Zoom, we will gather for a drink in an online bar ... Medicine delivery from pharmacies will occupy a separate niche.

Pharmacies: ready player one

For example, almost every building in Kyiv has a pharmacy on the ground floor, but they are represented by a single online aggregator. Pharmaceutical manufacturers invest in digital marketing, and pharmacies - retailers, in fact, - are slowing them down. Now it has become obvious: pharmacies need to digitalize faster and more enthusiastic. Yes, the delivery of some medicine is prohibited so far, but the pandemic will certainly drive the solution to the issue at the state level.

Get a car in 2 clicks

Let's look at a car market, for example. Recently Geely launched a full-fledged online service where the buyer can choose, order and pay for a car online, and receive it with home delivery. A test drive order is also available on the site: the test machine will be brought at the desired time to the place indicated on the site. Other car manufacturers such as Tesla, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have also chosen to sell cars online lately. 

Real estate is also being sold online

It is likely that the crisis could prompt people to invest in real estate. In addition, during the quarantine period, someone realizes that his previous housing does not meet all the requirements. 

A new opportunity for developers is an online real estate store where customers can purchase an apartment or apartments, as well as monitor all stages of the transaction in real-time, for example, in your personal account, without visiting the sales office. Such a service is simple and convenient to use, it helps to significantly save the client’s time, and most importantly, it emphasizes the openness and reliability of the development company.

Outro

A persistent call for digitalization is relevant for both B2C and B2B companies since employees are the same people who appreciate the speed and convenience of online transactions. We at Volta One have successful experience in developing e-commerce sites for both B2C and B2B, and we also work during quarantine in the normal mode (out-of-office, of course). I will be happy to answer all your questions in personal correspondence. Use this situation as an opportunity for transformation!
