Digital transformation is crucial for small businesses in Sri Lanka, but many business owners fear it will be expensive or complicated. The good news? You can digitize your business affordably with the right approach and guidance.
Step one: get online. Create a professional website that showcases your brand, products, services, and contact details. Tools like WordPress, Wix, or Shopify allow you to build cost-effective, responsive websites.
Step two: establish your digital presence. Set up business profiles on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business. Use WhatsApp or Viber to offer customer support. Tools like Canva can help you design marketing content without hiring a designer.
Step three: integrate digital tools into operations. Use cloud-based accounting (e.g., Wave, QuickBooks), manage inventory with simple ERP tools, or accept online payments via Stripe, PayHere, or bank integrations.
Step four: promote online. Start with basic SEO and small-budget ads to attract leads. Use email newsletters and customer feedback tools to retain them.CodeHub.lk specializes in affordable digitization for Sri Lankan SMEs.
