Shopping and Retail with DMVNXS

Now more than ever, locally owned shopping and retail businesses in DC, Maryland, and Virginia are presented with an unprecedented opportunity for growth and increased engagement with the local community.

During the pandemic, much local shopping and retail businesses struggled to keep up in a sector increasingly dominated by online giants like Amazon. Tourism, which drove up the profits of many local retail stores, ceased to be an option for a profit. Luckily, one side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic was a huge increase in shoppers who want to spend their money locally.

This means there is currently a huge opportunity for shopping and retail businesses to get back on their feet. But as any small business owner knows, getting the word out to the community about your business is extremely difficult.

This is where DMVNXS comes in. DMVNXS’ mission is to encourage shoppers to support local businesses to strengthen the DMV area's economy. With the DMVNXS online marketplace, shoppers are connected to local retail and shopping businesses on a massive scale. DMVNXS also provides events, coupon books, and advertising.

How the Post-COVID Landscape Presents Growth Opportunities for Locally Owned Shopping and Retail Businesses

Many local shopping and retail businesses make equal amounts of their money from local shoppers and tourists. Unfortunately, during the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions meant that tourism largely ceased in the DMV area. This meant that many local retail and shopping businesses struggled to make ends meet.

What’s more, local shoppers who were encouraged to stay at home often switched from local stores to online retail giants like Amazon. This further exacerbated the problems facing local DMV-based retail and shopping businesses.

However, one silver lining of the pandemic is that it fostered a movement among many to shopping local. As residents watched their favorite locally owned businesses struggle during the pandemic, they decided to reinvest their dollars locally.

Because of this, the post-pandemic landscape presents a fantastic opportunity for local retail businesses to reach out to new sets of customers who are eager to support their operations. But, reaching out to these potential clients can be extremely difficult when going up against out-of-town businesses with much larger online presences.
