MANY affected brick-and-mortar stores have taken their businesses online to stay afloat. But they need to concentrate on funding, production, supply sourcing and skills training in order to gain market access and grow. This is why Globe Business encourages micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to invest in informationa and communications technology (ICT) solutions capable of meeting the digital demands of the next normal and be able to utilize emerging trends, mostly through the use of digital platforms that include: live selling or vending of products using the live feature of social media apps; story ads or video marketing that usually create a relevant storyboard to capture the audience; and influencer marketing, a type of word-of-mouth marketing by tapping key opinion leaders or celebrities to amplify brand messaging to a larger market.
