SMALL retailers can now potentially bring in six-figure sums via their websites due to a shift in shopping trends as a direct result of Covid-19. That’s according to a local e-commerce platform provider.

The local online market has grown substantially during the Covid-19 crisis and Mr Montwill claims that some companies have seen up to a 1,500% increase in online sales over the last three months.
