auspost.com.au/business/busin...
An interesting thing happened in March 2020. As traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses began closing their doors and the world went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Australians turned to online shopping. Specifically, spending their money on locally made items from locally owned companies.
Key points
* Research has found that the bushfires and pandemic could have driven more Australians to start buying local.
* Working from home has given people more time to shop online and delivery is easier.
* The Hamper Emporium and Australian Woodwork have seen sales almost triple.
* 26% of surveyed Australia Post customers say they’re trying to buy more from Australian companies than previously.
