It features a kind of e-commerce that is effective and consistent with the brand’s image.”

“There couldn’t have been a better conclusion for the Netcomm E-Commerce Forum than the award ceremony involving Italy’s top e-commerce companies – said Roberto Liscia, President of Netcomm. Over the past three years we have observed how e-shoppers have increased from nine million to 16 million (source: Human Highway - Netcomm), with a peak of 14 million e-shoppers over the Christmas period. We feel highly responsible towards these consumers and for this reason awarding every year the websites that have distinguished themselves is a source of great satisfaction to us. This is the reason why, in this third edition of the Netcomm E-Commerce Award, we selected the best websites among the more than 100 displaying the Netcomm Seal: honesty and safety are the core values in the relationship with consumers. I am also here to remind that during the last few months the Netcomm Consortium launched, after having renewed its form and structure, the Netcomm Seal, together with an evolved version, the Gold Seal, which gives customers the opportunity to provide opinions and ratings concerning their online purchases. These initiatives on the one hand bring us up to par with Europe and on the other aim at offering consumers increasingly more satisfying e-commerce experiences aimed at excellence.”
