Online Retail Awards spotlight excellence
Up to six finalists will vie for the top honour in each category, highlighting the excellence of Australasia’s vibrant and innovative multichannel and online retailing visionaries.
Event Director Matt Smith says the ORIAS is proving to be Australia’s showpiece e-commerce event.
“We’re thrilled that we can recognise retailers who are constantly adapting and evolving to ensure that they succeed in today’s modern marketplace. The judges undertook a rigorous process to determine the finalists, and each entry was evaluated according to a number of exacting criteria.”
