Oleoshop customers grow up to 500% during the pandemic

When the coronavirus completely blocked retail businesses, many entrepreneurs and companies considered e-commerce. Somehow, they had to reinvent their business model so as not to be left out.

The situation is still very complicated, we could even say that it is very stressful - especially for those who are facing eCommerce for the first time almost out of obligation. 

Many of these entrepreneurs have bet on Oleoshop to make start online, and we are proud to have lived up to their expectations, both in simplifying the very process of creating the online store and in giving them guarantees of operation even if demand increases.

As we said, the current global context is pushing businesses towards digital, largely due to the aforementioned closure of retail, which means that established businesses have to seek alternative and efficient channels to reach their customers.

There has also been another circumstance, which is that of people who have looked for a different way to use all that time they had to stop their activity, and have turned it into the moment to launch a professional project that they had in mind.

To this, we must add the customers who had already planned to open their online stores and simply had to do so in the middle of the COVID-19 era. Entrepreneurs who have not been intimidated and who believe in their business against all odds.

However, much uncertainty we are going through, there are niches that have grown even in full lockdown, so there are business opportunities that we can exploit.

Oleoshop customers usually prioritize comprehensive solutions. They need agility when creating their online store and minimum complications, because they want to be up and running in the shortest time possible.

Having Oleoshop as a travel mate on this path guarantees you to have all the critical aspects resolved without having to manage them independently or seek solutions that integrate them between different services, or anything similar.

We accompany you from design to hosting with unlimited transfer. All in one provider with a single monthly payment.

This nuance is important. Simplicity in the creation and management of an online store should not imply having a website so simple that it is poor in design and functionality.

As for the design itself, stores created with Oleoshop are based on a drag and drop editor that allows you to create any design without the need to touch a single line of code. Besides, you can use different templates designed by graphic design experts that you only have to customize in a very simple way.

This applies equally to the functionalities, since our store has to be ready for online marketing, work perfectly on mobile devices, and be SEO friendly. 

Logically, it is also important, both for these new clients and for those who have been with us for years, to have a project that is scalable and can grow without being limited by the web. It should be easy to change to the plan according to the growth of the business.

This is something that is seen especially when you do not have it and the online store begins to fail due to technical problems, servers that do not absorb the demand for a specific date such as Black Friday or any other campaign that focuses a lot of care and visits.

In fact, during the hardest days of the coronavirus lockdown, we could say that there has been a moment of very high demand for many eCommerce, which has also been sustained over time much longer than usual.

We knew that Oleoshop's systems were prepared to manage this without any costly downtime; but our customers have been able to see for themselves. Everything has worked like clockwork, while other entrepreneurs with other types of platforms have had serious problems to achieve it.

The best way to demonstrate the movement is by walking or, in this case, showing the stores of some of our customers. In the midst of such complicated circumstances, we could not be more grateful for their confidence and proud to see the great performance they are getting from Oleoshop platform. 

Examples? Well, we can start with the Cathedral of Barcelona´s store which has created an online store to reach all the faithful of this city and the rest of the country.
