How Will the Stock Market Be Affected After COVID-19? Should Online Stores Be Worried?
August 25, 2020

In early March, things were not looking good for the Canadian stock market. A mass sell-off had started during the last week in February, after it became clear that COVID-19 was changing the way we live, work, and do business. By late March, Canada’s main stock index had fallen by over one-third.

Since then, however, the situation has greatly improved. When trading closed on June 23, approximately two-thirds of the earlier losses had been regained, and in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average enjoyed an even speedier recovery.

In short, the outlook is positive and it’s a great time to run an online business. More people are returning to their jobs after the lockdown, resulting in more income but not as much time to go shopping. What they want is convenient online access to the products and services they need. 

At Unique eStores, our goal is to provide both entrepreneurs and established businesses with sophisticated online platforms that are easy to use and make their products available to customers across the globe. Below is an overview of three of our stores, all of which combine superior product quality with a first-rate customer experience.
