Forbes Magazine names ritzcamera.com "best of web" |
| Photo specialty e-commerce company RitzCamera.com has been
named one of the "Best of the Web" for 2001 by Forbes
Magazine. RitzCamera.com was one
of just six photography-related sites selected by Forbes as the Web's
finest. Forbes editors reviewed more than 3,000 sites in 22 different
categories, including "Cameras & Photography," making
their selections based on overall content, design, navigation, speed and
customization.
Founded in April 1999, RitzCamera.com has established itself as the premier online shopping source for photographic products and accessories, including an extensive line-up of state-of-the-art digital cameras. The user-friendly e-commerce site also supplies product reviews and comparisons that help online shoppers make better-informed buying decisions. In addition to offering a giant selection, useful information, and the convenience of online purchasing, RitzCamera.com provides consumers with the added benefits of a "Low Prices Guarantee," no sales tax, and free shipping for orders over $100. RitzCamera.com is complemented by its Ritz Interactive sister sites Photography.com, an informative photography community portal, and RitzPIX.com, one of the Web's most popular digital imaging and photo-sharing destinations. "We're thrilled to receive this honor from such a widely read and highly respected publication as Forbes," said Fred H. Lerner, president and CEO of Ritz Interactive. "The success of RitzCamera.com is the culmination of strong branding, effective site design, world-class customer service, and a strong adherence to proven business principles and strategies," added Lerner. "We have managed to deliver the quality products and high level of customer service that consumers have come to expect from Ritz Camera Centers in an online shopping environment. Cyber-shoppers at RitzCamera.com can locate and purchase the exact products they need with a few clicks of the mouse, saving time and money in the process." In addition to in depth product descriptions, reviews and comparisons, RitzCamera.com incorporates streaming video presentations and unique "3-D Zoom" product images at the site. The result is an online shopping experience that offers all the advantages of the in-store experience, without dealing with the hassles of long lines, crowded malls or full parking lots. Shoppers appreciate the easy navigation and simple check-out process at RitzCamera.com, as well as helpful customer support and prompt order fulfillment. Last holiday season, RitzCamera.com was presented with a "Circle of Excellence" award by online rating service BizRate.com, for overall performance "above and beyond" customer expectations.
