Albert Bredenhann, Managing Director of Jump Shopping is very satisfied with the outcome of the results and thinks that this year's awards has set a great platform for great things to come in 2007. The growth we saw in the area of e-commerce in South Africa, especially online-shopping, was big in 2006 and we expect an even better growth in 2007.
The awards were open to all e-commerce enabled websites in South Africa. The voting went through a process of nominations by the public that was shortlisted by Jump Shopping. The voting was then opened to the public for almost a month from where the final voting was done by the judges.
Bredenhann would like to add that there are many online stores who did not make it to this year's awards and that their efforts are not going unnoticed.
The next E-Commerce Awards are already in the planning and Jump Shopping would like to have an international speaker present at the 2007 event; more details will be available shortly.
