The summary analyzes the impact of implementing a website for Kamri Investments from June 2020 to June 2021. Sales increased by 14% and net profits rose 27.6% after implementing the website. While distribution expenses grew due to higher sales, administrative costs increased to manage the website and other operating expenses declined with fewer in-person customers. The website allowed customers to safely view and purchase products during lockdowns. It had a positive financial impact and will likely continue post-pandemic due to changing consumer preferences.

The impact of implementing a website at Kamri Investments during June 2020 and June 2021.

AIMS/OBJECTIVES
AIM
The primary aim of this SBA (School Based Assessment) is to determine the impact of
implementing a business website at Kamri Investments during the pandemic period.
OBJECTIVES:
● To identify how the addition of the website affected the sales and expenses.
● To analyze how the online website has affected the profitability of the business.

6. 3
BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW
Kamri Investments is a family owned and managed company, which began operations in the year 2000
with a very small capital of $10,000 TT. The business has since expanded over the years and currently
manufactures and displays multiple products of glass doors, windows and showers. Management
indicated that the business’s success was mainly due to its investment in advertisements. Such as
radio, television and social media. Additionally, up keeping a showroom where customers can view
the physical product created a huge demand for the products.
During June 2020 to July 2021, lockdowns due to the Covid 19 pandemic became tighter, presenting
fewer opportunities for the business to physically display products. Mr. Khan, the manager stated that
this caused a reduction in sales. (Questionnaire # 1). T&T Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA) Tricia
Coosal told the Business Guardian in an article on July 28th
, 2021that “Companies were able to
reimagine their products to ensure sustainability with a competitive advantage. This ensured continued
survival in a market completely changed by the pandemic.” This is exactly what management at
KAMRI Investment did by going online; providing the opportunity to view and purchase the products
available without needing to leave home.
This topic is important to society since it affects the way in which customers can access goods and
services this will also affect the current availability of jobs which can negatively affect our citizens.
We are growing up in the technological age where everything is now moving to the internet, becoming
easily accessible with just the click of a button. It is necessary that students research and understand
the effects of conducting business online for future business aspirations and to get a better
understanding of skills that has to be developed to secure employment in the future.

METHODOLOGY
Information for this project was collected using both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary
data is “Data that are directly collected for the purpose of the research under the researcher’s
control” (Mazzocchi, 2008)
The instrument used to collect primary data was a questionnaire (Appendix 1) comprising of 7 (Seven)
questions which contained both qualitative and quantitative questions was formulated on Google
forms and to the manager. The questions were open-ended questions to not restrict the respondent to
a set of predetermined answers and allow them to fully articulate their thoughts and opinions. This
proved to be very advantageous since detailed responses were received. This method was the most
appropriate choice for in order to meet with current Covid restrictions. The disadvantage of this
method was the length of time it took to obtain the responses.
Secondary sources data were also used to collection information on the topic. This is ‘When data
originally collected for one purpose is used for other research’ (Riedel, 2000). The books, websites
and online newspaper articles provided a lot of information that was easily accessible however; it was
very time consuming to collect what was relevant to the topic. A significant drawback was the inability
to access schedules to the financial statements to allow for further analysis of the topic.

PRESENTATION OF DATA
Figure 1: Line Graph showing the Sales of Kamri Investments Limited before the implementation of the
website and after the implementation.
The line graph shows the sales for the years 2020 and 2021, the year before the implementation of the
website and after. As reflected above sales increased drastically after the implementation of the
website. In 2021, the sales increased by $2,036,883.This was approximately a 14 % increase.
According to the manager, sales increased since the website served as a form of advertising and more
customers became aware of the products. Additionally, it offered customers an easy and safe way to
view and purchase products without the risk of exposure to Covid 19.
