Retailers have been urged to start embracing the potential of multi-channel retail by applying for an e-commerce grant.
The £3m Covid-19 Micro Business Ecommerce grant scheme run by economic development agency Invest NI closes on Friday.
It offers small retailers the opportunity to purchase a transactional website for their business and claim 80% of the costs back. The grant also covers online integration costs, e-commerce training and digital marketing services in full packages up to the value of £5,000.
Multichannel retail software company AirPOS, e-commerce web design firm Chorus Commerce and inventory management business Scanmatix are offering free online webinars to retailers who have yet to embrace online retail.
