Aussie businesses face inflation-related struggles—but smart online strategies are the key to thriving. 

Inflation’s Grip on Aussie Businesses

Inflation is hitting Australian businesses hard. Crazy Domains surveyed Aussie business owners and the survey data shows that 61% fear inflation could threaten their survival. Another 61% say rising costs have already impacted their sales. 

With prices soaring, businesses are scrambling to stay afloat. 

The good news? Many are taking action. From cutting costs, to diversifying, Aussie businesses are adapting fast. And for many, having an online presence proves to be their biggest advantage. 

How Businesses Are Responding to Inflation 

To navigate rising costs, the survey found businesses re-align their strategies: 

  • 37% diversified their business model – Many expanded online, offering digital services or launching e-commerce stores. 
  • 14% took on side hustles – Business owners gain additional income streams, some through online opportunities. 
  • 33% cut costs – Smart budgeting is key, with many shifting to cost-effective online tools. 
  • 28% increased prices – A necessary move for some, but risky if customers look elsewhere. 

The Digital Shift: Investing in Business Growth 

Despite economic pressures, 38% of businesses plan to expand within the next year, and 48% will invest in daily operations. 

How do they do both? The right online solutions. 

  • Expansion: E-commerce, SEO, and digital marketing open new revenue streams. 
  • Day-to-day operations: Affordable domains, hosting, and cybersecurity keep businesses running smoothly. 

Businesses that invest in digital solutions are in a stronger position when the economy stabilises.
