6 Tips to kickstart change and digital adoption in your business.
2020 was a real turning point for small businesses, as local brick-and-mortar shops really took a hit from the pandemic. Now that people are venturing out, shops and small businesses are seeing an increase in traffic. Even so, it’s wise to develop a digital strategy and convey a modern vibe to your customers and employees.
Here are six tips for starting a digital modernization in your business.
