WJR Business Beat Transcript
Good morning, Paul.
It’s fascinating to monitor the changing ways Americans are living in the face of this horrible crisis we’ve been dealing with and continue to face with COVID-19. And as reported previously on the Business Beat, we see consumer purchasing patterns changing in abrupt ways, never before seen. Some sectors decimated while others literally booming. And one such category is seeing a huge lift from the changes carved in the bedrock of the way we live our lives and do our work by COVID-19 is the tech sector, specifically tech purchases on items designed to set people up for work from home, or for kids schooling remotely from home.
Since the pandemic, sales for laptop computers, printers, and other similar items have skyrocketed.
For example, through August of this year, keyboard sales are up 66 percent over the same period last year; monitors up 82 percent; printers, 59 percent; laptop computers up 45 percent.
So, why is this relevant if I’m an aspiring entrepreneur? Well, here it is: now that you’ve made these big-ticket purchases to set yourself up to work from home so efficiently, leverage your new work from home infrastructure to establish the world headquarters of your new business, whether part-time or full-time, right from your home.
