RECEIVES CHANNEL INTELLIGENCE “TOP DEALER” AWARD
IRVINE,
Calif., June 8, 2004 – RitzCamera.com, the
flagship online shopping site of leading e-commerce network
Ritz Interactive, has been presented with a “Top Dealer”
Award by Channel Intelligence, a Florida-based commerce
data interchange company.
RitzCamera.com
was recognized by Channel Intelligence for its achievements
during the third and fourth quarters of 2003. The Channel
Intelligence Top Dealer Awards are based on aggregated data
collection and statistical analyses, and are divided among
five categories: Preferred e-Tailer-Vendors Linking; Preferred
Brick-and-Mortar-Vendors Linking; Number of Sales Opportunities;
Value of Sales Opportunities; and Reported Sales. RitzCamera.com
received its Top Dealer Award in the Value of Sales Opportunities
category, based on the “highest number of shoppers
expressing an interest in making a purchase and the dollar
value of those opportunities.”
According
to Channel Intelligence President and CEO Rob Wight, these
awards honor the top retailers and their leaders –
the men and women who are enabling e-commerce to soar. “E-commerce
sales have topped the $1 billion mark each week thus far
during 2004, said Wight. “These dealers are the visionaries
who build the e-revenue pathways. They recognize that online
customers want a simple and satisfying shopping experience,
which may lead to repeat business.”
Ritz
Interactive President and CEO Fred H. Lerner points out
that this award is a reflection of his company’s commitment
to providing online shoppers with a world class shopping
experience. “At RitzCamera.com, and all of our Ritz
Interactive e-commerce sites, we offer unparalleled selection,
convenience and value, said Lerner. “Our continued
growth and success show that more and more consumers are
discovering and taking advantage of these significant benefits.”
