Nokia Scandinavia’s Web 2.0 Sales Store awarded for eExcellence at CeBIT

CeBIT starts on the 15th so think of this press release as something from Back to the Future:

European Multimedia Associations Convention (EMMAC) has awarded Nokia (NYSE: NOK) the "Platinum Seal of eExcellence"  – the highest of its European Seal of eExcellence awards -  for the company’s Scandinavian Web 2.0 Sales Store.

The European Seal of eExcellence distinguishes eContent and eBusiness companies with an excellent track record in innovation marketing. Nokia Scandinavia has invested strongly into making it easier for consumers to find information and buy mobile devices online.

"Nokia Scandinavia’s Web 2.0 Sales Store is based on the concept of a community of interest between supplier, distributor, customer, operator and Nokia itself, a win-win model that takes into account the interests and delivers value to all participants in the mobile value chain," stated EMMAC in the reasoning for awarding the Platinum Seal of eExcellence to Nokia. EMMAC also pointed out that the strength in Nokia’s solution is that it is created from the customer’s perspective with the focus on their wishes.

"We are extremely pleased to receive this award from European Multimedia Associations Convention. We have put a lot of effort into building a strong customer perspective into our web store, and are happy to see our efforts recognized", says Erich Hugo, Business Development Director for Nokia Scandinavia.

Congrats on the award, but I still say you have quite a few things to learn from Jeff Bezos when it comes to online retail.
