It is inevitable that digital transformation is changing consumers’ behaviour today. For instance, we are open to shopping online compared to walking into an actual retail outlet, and we prefer to purchase items via cashless payment modes.

Like it or not, we have been impacted by some of these latest trends and it is likely that more of such trends will continue to emerge over time.

Given this development, SMEs have to re-think their business model to meet consumers’ needs or risk having their businesses playing catch up or being left out altogether.
