3 Consumer Trends To Drive Revenue – Read The Room

Consumer trends are based on behaviour, which is a dynamic response that is easily influenced by what’s going on in the world, country, or local communities. The impact of Covid-19 on consumers, for example, has had a long-standing affect on consumer shopping habits.

One way in which to do the above is to install a SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificate on a website. What is a SSL Certificate? A SSL is authentication given to a website domain by a Certificate Authority (CA) after verifying some of the domain owner’s information.
