Will determine the best online stores in Latvia :: Dienas Bizness

The competition “E-commerce star 2021” will determine the best online stores in Latvia, informs the representative of the organizers of the competition Indra Ēķe-Začeste.

Any company working in Latvia that offers to purchase its goods or services remotely can apply for the competition until April 8.

The number of both merchants and buyers in the e-commerce sector has increased over the past year. Referring to the data of the Internet research and technology company “Gemius”, I. Ēķe-Začeste points out that in the last six months, almost 90% of the Latvian population has used various Latvian e-commerce websites. In addition, 43% of respondents believe that their spending on the Internet will increase this year, while 45% will spend as much on online shopping as last year.

Beāte Krauze-Čebotare, a member of the board of SIA “Omniva”, one of the initiators of the competition, points out that Covid-19 has served as an additional catalyst for the faster growth of e-commerce. “Omniva’s data also confirm the inevitable change in consumer habits. Already, more than 50% of Latvian households already use the so-called last mile delivery services – parcel terminals, courier deliveries, and more than five million packages are sent during the year,” says B. Kreuze. Chebotare.

It is possible to apply for the online store competition “E-commerce star 2021” until April 8 on the website “www.ekomercijaszvaigzne.lv”.

E-commerce companies will be judged by an international jury, analyzing the three most important criteria – e-shop usability, design and innovation.

The “E-Commerce Star 2021” award ceremony, which will take place on May 26, will honor the best e-shops in each category, while the winner of the “Grand Prix” will receive a glass cup made by Latvian glass artist and designer Artis Nimmanis.
