Nokia Scandinavia's Web 2.0 Sales Store awarded for eExcellence at CeBIT
March 13, 2007
European Multimedia Associations Convention (EMMAC) has awarded Nokia the "Platinum Seal of eExcellence" - the highest of its European Seal of eExcellence awards - for the company's Scandinavian Web 2.0 Sales Store.
The European Seal of eExcellence distinguishes eContent and eBusiness companies with an excellent track record in innovation marketing. Nokia Scandinavia has invested strongly into making it easier for consumers to find information and buy mobile devices online.
"Nokia Scandinavia's Web 2.0 Sales Store is based on the concept of a community of interest between supplier, distributor, customer, operator and Nokia itself, a win-win model that takes into account the interests and delivers value to all participants in the mobile value chain," stated EMMAC in the reasoning for awarding the Platinum Seal of eExcellence to Nokia. EMMAC also pointed out that the strength in Nokia's solution is that it is created from the customer's perspective with the focus on their wishes.
"We are extremely pleased to receive this award from European Multimedia Associations Convention. We have put a lot of effort into building a strong customer perspective into our web store, and are happy to see our efforts recognized", says Erich Hugo, Business Development Director for Nokia Scandinavia.
On Nokia Scandinavia's website, visitors can search mobile devices and get information on pricing and availability. Consumers interested in a specific mobile device can go directly to a retailer's page to purchase the device online. The site also allows visitors to compare prices between different retailers as well as find retailers who sell a specific product. More and more consumers purchase mobile devices online, and Nokia wants to support this by enabling easy access to online purchasing from Nokia Scandinavia's webpages.
The European Multimedia Associations' Convention - EMMAC (www.e-multimedia.org/associations) is the co-ordination platform of Europe's main national and regional eContent and eBusiness associations. EMMAC awards the European Seal of eExcellence annually in connection with the CeBIT fair. Other winners for of Seal of eExcellence this year included Strato and Real Media 24/7.
