The Retail Council of Canada has released the results of a survey of 750 small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and almost half of the participating owners expect sales growth this year. It also found that 50 percent of SMBs favour selling from bricks-and-mortar operations.
“Web store ranks as the second most popular method at 41 per cent,” the RCC said in a release. “However, SMB sellers can now effortlessly enhance these sales channels with online marketplaces, click-to-buy features on social media, and other easy-to-use alternatives.”
