The global pandemic has created unique challenges for businesses of all sizes, especially for small businesses. According to GoDaddy’s entrepreneurship survey 66% of small business owners and entrepreneurs in the MENA have said that their top concern during the pandemic is reaching new customers This is followed by concerns around keeping the employees motivated and expanding their online presence to sell their products.
Throughout the past year, we have seen many entrepreneurs and small businesses across Turkey and the MENA Region go online to help keep their doors open, and we continue to respond to the situation by minimizing the economic impact to our customers with free tools and ensuring our services and help are always available. At GoDaddy, we focus on helping budding entrepreneurs and small businesses be present and visible among the giants and grow their business with our easy-to-use and affordable tools including our Arabic Website Builder and E-store.
