Atlantic Sea Farms had a three-year plan to launch online sales of their specialty kelp products. But the arrival of the coronavirus and its impact on Maine restaurants forced them to launch in three weeks. Coupled with a digital marketing campaign, the company’s products are now in groceries along the Eastern Seaboard.
Likewise, managers at Independence Floor Supply thought they should offer their wholesale flooring services online at some point. That abstract notion became a priority as the company sought ways to diversify. Their new e-commerce website paid for itself in three weeks, and continues to bring in thousands of dollars in additional sales of new products.
