), held at the Wanderer`s Country Club in Illovo last night.
Positioned as SA`s I.T. Home Online, www.digitalplanet.co.za is a business-to-consumer IT website offering a community-centric and effective e-commerce solution. Digital Planet has created a home for its 14 000 members and offers them over 50 000 IT products to shop from, online auctions, customised IT news from around the world, loyalty programs and much, much more!
Criteria for the e-Tailer award included the successful creation of a virtual store identified by ease of location, user friendliness, secure transactions, accurate online order placement, speedy delivery and high levels of customer service. With its unique product and service offering as well as meeting these criteria, Digital Planet managed to secure a winning position.
"We are very proud to receive this kind of recognition at a time when there is so much hype about the failure of many dotcom companies, and with the online industry in general being under such pressure," says Digital Planet director, Cindy Zoutendyk. "I believe that the secret to our success lies in our ability to stick to our niche market, providing the South African IT industry with a variety of IT products and services. We also have our members and vendor partners to thank for supporting Digital Planet and believing in our concept."
What`s next? Digital Planet continues to strive for excellence and will be announcing the re-launch of the website before the end of May. This will undoubtedly be an IT shopper`s paradise with new products and improved navigation.
Voted as South Africa`s top online IT shop for 2000 in a research study conducted by Arthur Goldstuck, and now with its recent victory as e-Tailer for 2001, Digital Planet is paving its way to great heights!
