On the very last day of the eventful year that was 2020, it’s time to look back at eight of the blog posts published this year, that received the most attention and views.
While compiling this list, we’ve noted several trends that revealed much about the underlying interests of readers such as yourself;
Articles About Government Grants Received The Most Views
With many businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Circuit Breaker (CB) period this year, it’s no surprise that our readers would be most interested in any information about the various government grants that are available.
With many businesses embarking on the digitalisation of their services out of necessity, our readers needed sources of funding to implement their new digital solutions, and therefore were interested in the relevant details of the grants they could apply for.
We hope that the content that we’ve published this year relating to governments grants have been useful for you in this regard.
Articles About FinTech And Professional Services Also Scored Highly On Views Received
Articles which are specific to certain industries, such as FinTech and professional services, also garnered a respectable amount of attention and views from our readers.
These articles are notable in that they provided our readers with recommendations as to how they can differentiate their businesses in competitive industries, and how software solutions (including our ERP software) can help them do so.
