On National Women’s Small Business Month, it is important to highlight the achievements of what women have accomplished. Despite the pandemic, 82% of women have begun or increased their selling on eBay. How much did they grow? During the first 6 months of the pandemic, the number of eBay enabled businesses in the US grew by 34% and sales of these businesses grew by 38%.
Let’s address the elephant in the room. When so many of us started working remotely nearly overnight, much of the home based tasks fell on women to do such as remote schooling, childcare, and caring for sick family members.
Depending on the industry you worked in prior to the pandemic, some were hit harder than others. If you move to an eCommerce model, in the United states, 97% of women’s small businesses export their products, many becoming global exporters very quickly.
Learn how eCommerce has empowered many women’s small businesses throughout the global pandemic in the following report and visual deep dive, courtesy of eBay:
