But today the time of the internet and people spending most of their time on the internet. For a long time, days are gone when people need a computer for surfing the internet today in India almost every person has a smartphone and internet.

They are also searching for the things of their interest on the internet and also the products which they need. They are also purchasing the products online from different e-commerce sites. Due to this online buying trend, the sales of shops have decreased.

Due to the global pandemic of COVID, every customer thinks twice before going shopping in a crowded market and they are shifting to online shopping. So, the local shopkeepers also have to adapt to this change and act accordingly. Every small-big businessperson needs to take their store online for retrieving their missed customers.
