About the event
GPeC (Gala Premiilor eCommerce) – http://www.gpec.ro has now been at its fifth edition and culminated in the number of Romanian online shops that participated in the contest. GPeC represents a very serious competition with rigorous criteria judged by qualified individuals from the industry.
The high number of contestants emphasizes the interest in self improvement as well as the boom in the online commerce industry in Romania.
My involvement
I’ve been invited as a jury member to the contest held in Bucharest at Ramada Parc Hotel on September 2, 2010. There was a lot of work to be done, I had to decide 649 marks for the 12 shops, 59 criteria for each of them. These included design, usability, technical functionality, information architecture, user experience, as well as the shopping experience. This was the first year to include mystery shopping and I must admit that it was quite an experience having to buy products such as scissors and carrots from as much as 600-800 km away. Overall I am very happy with the delivery in our country, considering the bad shape of the roads and general infrastructure.
