Posted on in Business News , Cycles News

This summer saw a phenomenal spike in demand for the cycling industry, with technicians and workshops finding themselves busier than in years, even decades.

Following on from this positive period, it is still important to remember that as we emerge from the extraordinary period of nationwide lockdown, we enter the next phase of uncertainty. In this new cautious shopping environment businesses must stay proactive and forward-thinking.

Consumer shopping habits have altered dramatically throughout the lockdown, according to a survey by Retail Sector, 95% of shoppers have admitted turning to online shopping this year. Now more than ever it is crucial to ensure your online offering is up-to-scratch and an active social media presence can be an excellent way of capturing new and potential customers.
