Sažetak
The COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in consumer behavior and it affected all product categories. Social distancing, fear of unknown disease, and official health-protection measurements created the environment in which customers recognized the high usability and convenience of online shopping. Therefore, e-commerce usage reached rapid and significant growth during COVID-19 pandemics. In this paper, we focus on changes in the retail of musical instruments to show how pandemics changed the role of online sales channels in this special product category. The findings are based on a comprehensive analysis of recent literature that explains the general role of e-commerce during pandemics and on the case study analysis of a specialized retail company. The case study included several interviews with owners and managers of a company, analysis of managerial financial reports, insight into sales data, and web analytics of the company. The data was collected from May to September 2021 and data refers to business years 2019 and 2020. Scrutinized data show that there is a significant percentage of revenues generated in the online channel during COVID-19 and that structure of revenues changed significantly regarding product categories bought during COVID-19 pandemics. Based on findings conclusions on the role of e-commerce during COVID-19 pandemics in this retail specialization are drawn.
